Clarity

Wednesday February 15th 2012, 2:48 am

I’ve just come to realize from a comment someone has left that the subtitle on 2306152 blog page found at the tab above has been unfortunately misleading. Everything I write for that blog has a place in reality, it is not fiction. It is a daily chronicle of my life, sometimes in abstract terms, while others are much more direct and highly personal. Like the ones of this past week for example. The daily blog is my attempt at capturing a year in my life, from the mundane to the very intense, while mostly trying to do it in one single paragraph a day. But the latest post was a very emotionally tough one, and based on the comment left, some of you may feel I’m being hurtful by exploiting pain untruthfully. But I assure you there isn’t one word that isn’t true in this blog. And I felt it important to clarify that right now. The misleading subtitle will be changed as soon as possible to “a yearlong blog experiment”.

Inspiring!

Just watched the news today, and I’m elated over the landmark decision for the state of Washington on Gay Rights issues. Congratulations! And this is truly inspirational and hopeful to finally have the same thing here for citizens of California.




Out this week.

Tuesday February 07th 2012, 9:16 pm

Batwoman 6 will hit stores this week. Starting a new arc written by Haden and I, with art duties being taken on by Amy Reeder (Batwoman:Zero, Madame Xanadu). This new 6 part story has an unusual set up, six different points of view moving through time, all leading forward to now. The plot being sort of a spy action thriller with an unorthodox structure. Although a new arc, it definitely continues from where Hydrology left off. And events in this new story will lead directly into arc 3. It was challenging for us to write, but I think it pays off as the story proceeds. Or so I hope. I’m hard at work drawing the first chapter of arc 3 right now, but lets welcome Amy aboard on this first chapter for arc 2 “To Drown The World”. Below is her cover to issue 6.
