THIEF is taking off with approval from pretty much all that have read the initial script, though they are saying it's a little Bendis-y (meaning not much happens and there are a lot of words). The #0 issue was meant to strictly be a retelling of his origin, and how the powers were transferred to him. Sure, it's not an actiony issue, but that's because the story isn't in the action, its in the how and why. With the miniseries (issues 1-4), I'll be exploring his struggle of NOT knowing the powers he's inherited, and relationships with other heroes. Hopefully, when its done, I intend to send this one on to Platinum Studios, but I'm still looking to publish it myself.
Royal Rumble happened last night, and for once, the WWE delivered a PPV with expectations that were met. Sure, I would have enjoyed Cena winning the rumble because HHH ruined it for Batista, but I respect how it was played off with both men "winning" and them restarting the match. The weird thing is, having watched the match, Randy Orton looked LEGITIMATELY hurt, but the reports are all saying that was part of the show...I'm sorry, having had a concussion, if that wasn't real, then Randy Orton is 1000% a better actor than I thought. His eyes glazed perfectly, his equilibrium thrown off to the nth degree, and MISSING when he went to pick up the sledgehammer lead me to believe that the 25 year old finally got knocked silly...and it was because of a move properly executed. Oh, and Daniel Puder got chopped from three of the most vicious choppers in the industry in Benoit, Guerrero and Holly...classic initiation sequence, and its about time they showed someone get a legit beatdown in the ring.
I may be enlisting another writer to keep me honest with all my commitments in the coming days, so that we can bounce ideas off each other for Atomic Teen and keep the books moving forward. Not to say I wouldn't finish my books in a timely fashion, I just think two guys bouncing ideas back and forth may make for more interesting storytelling.
The new laptop should be here early next week, maybe earlier (I doubt it). I was a little hesitant after the first day of thinking I made the wrong decision, but that has passed, and now I just want it to get here already, hehe.
Take care!
