Current Projects
These are the stories that I’m currently working on, a little bit about them and what I hope is in their future.
Course Correction Initiative
CCI is a science-fiction noir tale, set in the year 2054 in a world not too technologically advanced from ours. There’s no jetpacks or flying cars, for example; but the one important advance is that time travel exists and is used by the Course Correction Initiative, an organization that sends its agents back in time to alter the course of history and eliminate targets associated to The Proclamation, a terrorist group responsible for a number of atrocities.
The protagonist of the series is Jackson Cole, a CCI agent who begins to feel like everything is not what it seems in the organization and starts to distrust his boss, Richard Castor, who may have been lying to everyone about the CCI’s true purpose.
I’ve written two full 22-page scripts for the first two issues of CCI, and I see it as a five issue miniseries with art in the style of Goran Sudzuka (Ghosted) or someone similar.
True/Crime
This is another five issue miniseries, of which I’ve written two full scripts and am halfway through #3.
True/Crime is a crime thriller about an author named Alana Frost, who gained fame in the 1980′s for writing a bestselling true crime novel about the notorious ‘Crosslake Weeper’ serial killer who terrorised the (fictional) California region of Crosslake.
Alana has another book soon to be released, when a series of copycat murders begins to occur; murders that are modelled exactly after the Weeper’s original killings. The Crosslake PD sends two detectives, Leo Rollins and Margarita ‘Margie’ Davalos, to try and enlist Frost’s help in tracking down this new killer. After all, she’s the expert, right?
The real core of the story is that Frost, in fact, is no expert. Rather, there never was a Crosslake Weeper at all; it was an elaborate hoax concocted by Alana in order to sell newspapers when she was a journalist and later to get a book deal, in which she tied together a series of unconnected murders with fake letters written to the press.
This new killer, however, knows that Frost is a fraud and will keep killing until she comes clean about her lies and faces up to the consequences. Which, obviously, would include jail. At the very least.
I imagine art in the style of Sean Phillips (Fatale, The Fade Out) or Michael Lark (Lazarus, Daredevil) for this one.
A man can dream, right?
