As I’ve said, few things intrigue me as much as watching an untempered, unfiltered, unedited stream of consciousness from people experiencing RubyQuest (or NanQuest, or DiveQuest) for the first time. It’s a treat.
That’s why as author I’m issuing a sort of open call to encourage just that. A call to all the quest fans new and old!
I’d be down for that. RubyQuest was awesome. I just need to find an archive of the new hotness.
I don’t have any exact criteria of what “reasonable armor” is. That’s on purpose. There’s obviously a lot of silly and eye-rolly stuff out there but it’s important to question your dealbreakers; because we’re talking about imagination, we’re looking at things that are meant to be fun, and cathartic, fantastical and engaging. These things should be on a spectrum of appreciation.
What am I saying here? I dunno, something like, “don’t be cynical, try to like things, then when you’re discerning it’s so much richer.” Does that make sense?
Here are some notes and images from Lois Lane, Girl Reporter, a pitch for a series of illustrated young adult novels I worked on a few years ago for DC Comics. Story by me, with considerable brainstorming help from my pal John Campbell, and art by Project: Rooftop fan favorite Daniel Krall.
My wonderful editor, Chris Cerasi, was a real champion of the series, which we codenamed “Project 77,” and while we had a great time working on it and finding this secret window into the DCU, it doesn’t look like the current leadership of DC is remotely interested in this kinda thing. I thought some Lois Lane fans here on the interwebs might at least like a look at what might have been…
Why didn’t this happen?
