Okay, so I'm doing this a bit backwards but in my defense I'm kinda new to this whole message board deal. Plus I work midnights, so I spend a lot of time in a haze of befuddlement.
At any rate, I'm Jason Wilkins and I'm the writer and co-creator with Evan Quiring of Hardcore Raygun. Sorry if this sounds a bit repetitive...those of you who've already read my original post in the Raygun section, feel free to switch channels now...
I just wanted to post a brief post letting people know what I'm about, etc.
I've been trying to get Raygun published for the last three years with Ev and while it's been a long trip, it's also been an educational one. I wouldn't have done a thing different. While I haven't been published yet in the comics industry, I've been fortunate enough to have some feedback from some pretty big names. Igor Kordey (New X-Men, Extreme X-Men, Cable/Soldier X) lives a few minutes away and he's been a great help and mentor to both Ev and I. According to him, I'm some sort of natural-born comic writer. Hey, his words not mine (I find that sort of stuff a little embarassing but what the hell, he's one of the best in the biz and I'll take whatever praise/grease I can get, lol!).
Seriously, the only reason I included something like that was to let you guys know I'm not talking through my hat. He actually said he wanted to work with me but he's committed to another project (over 700pp) for the next couple of years. Crappy timing on my part...
The whole point of this, I guess, is to drum up some buzz for Hardcore Raygun and offer my services to anyone who's interested. I'm all about character-driven, intelligent, and fun (FUNNN!) comics. I consider comics a legitimate artistic medium, the best marriage of words and pictures we've come up with yet as a society, and the best team sport, too.
Well, next to hockey, that is...
Check out the boards in the coming days for a few script samples. Make your own calls.
Maybe you'll all think I am talking out of my hat, after all but I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
Thanks Everyone (for reading this novella - did I mention I'm a writer?) and Take Care,
