Zeros 2 Heroes - The People's Publisher

Just in case you've been wondering, there is stuff going on on the Black Jack O'Breen front.  Sometimes very cool stuff.  I've seen things...  I'm just not sure what the powers that be want me to talk about, and they seem to like to unveil these things themselves.

That said, I can say that we've got an editor, our own Andrew Foley.  We've gone through the script now (except for page 15 which we still need to bash around a little bit).  We've got thumbnails and script revisions and all looks very good.

In particular, I'd like to thank Andrew for his patience and the visual chops he brought to the page breakdown process.  I have no real visual experience to speak of.  I basically don't know what I'm talking about when I set out to describe a page.  And yet I care deeply about how this project turns out, and very much want to get my ideas out there rather than just dropping back and letting the more visually oriented people take over.  It must be rather frustrating to deal with.  The catchphrase I've come up with is that I have "very strongly held nebulous ideas."

Yet Andrew has done a great job of getting me through that process.  He went a bit above and beyond in terms of detail on the thumbnails, and I'm very grateful for that.  I found that extremely useful.  Without it, I'd probably be floundering around, trying to figure out exactly what we were talking about and being a massive pain in the ass to the production team.  (I may be anyway, but I can see how it could be much worse...)

And I've seen an early pin-up (which implies we have an artist, but I'm pretty sure they'd be cross if I told you who that was).  And this book is going to be sweet.
