LEGION COMICS - In the larval stages.

Just got off the plane from LAX to Philadephia, where I'll be spending a few days relaxing with family, but also developing the plan of attack for launching LC this summer. At the moment, we're putting together all of our trademarks to have formally registered.

(Note: I'm a tad disappointed that I wont be using the () symbol. Something about "infringement". They're clearly different letters. Duh!) Once we have the legalities squared away, we'll start recruiting.

Keeps your eyes and ears open!

Today's comic is:

From Girls With Slingshots

Happy 2010, Folks. Still No Flying Cars.

Nevermind the lack of hologram communication, or no pizza rehydrators, or cryonic prisons. I can even deal with the extinction of the XFL as a major American past-time, and not having Pepsi Blue around.

But do you know what really boils me up inside?

I don't care if it wasn't feasible, or cost prohibitive, or even reasonably safe. I was promised a sky full of floating coupes with gull-wing doors, by halfway into this new decade, at the latest. Which, by deductive reasoning, tells me we should already have them in limited production.

So, screw you Doc Brown, and double for you, Robert Zemeckis. You could still come through on the hoverboards, though. That's gotta be doable by now.

...Please?

As promised, your comic from this update, brought to you by LICD.com.

P.S. I've been wondering this for years, but the asian guy in Griff's gang from Back To The Future 2, is none other than the Dragon/Mowgli himself, Jason Scott Lee.

LIFE, AS WE KNEW IT: Editing the Doc, LEGION COMICS: Business as usual.

The sequencing for LAWKI, as with any film, is time consuming, which most working editors will tell you is a no-brainer. However, I've seen the worst of editing nightmares in my film-making past (have you ever had to edit a 30-second clip frame-by-frame? On a laptop with a slow processor?! And all because some dumb-a** P.A. couldn't remember to put black tape over a prop gun during shooting...HELL I TELL YOU! HELLLL!) So this project by comparison is a freakin' cakewalk. Plus, this is my baby, so I don't mind as much. 


Oh yeah...Legion Comics is underway! I just wrapped a meeting with four of our newest teammate additions, and I couldn't be more hyped. I'll formally introduce them each once the official press release is made for the first product from the label, which should be sometime in the summer of 2010. This project is going to be the tits, for sure. We're currently waiting until after the new year to start the development process, since most of us do have lives outside of our artistic endeavors. The wait is killing me!


And in my spare time, I've decided to share a clip from a favorite webcomic with every new post. It's my gift to you. Expand your horizons, people!

-Christian Bale (Demetrius), A Midsummer Night's Dream


P.S. This line was nearly indecipherable in the actual movie. Shakespearean language + Christian's natural Aussie lisp accent = mushed dialogue.
Plus, I couldn't stop picturing him as Batman.
