The God Hour #4

Guess who's bizack! I know it's been a while, but here I am with another God Body update.

First thing's first: Around the beginning of February, we'll start posting the first story from the God Body universe right here on Ghostwerks.com. It will be drawn by the well known and well respected Rasheed Hines! For a sample of his work, go here. So keep your ear to the street on that one.

I'd also like to take this time to talk about the concepts behind God Body and my weltanschauung regarding the giant robot genre. I believe that giant robots are best when showing man's endeavor, through technology, to be God, and managing only to destroy himself in the effort.

God Body is a story about geniuses. A brother and sister who compete through their engineering prowes; mentors who live vicariously through the skills of their proteges; pilots who can make these powerful machines do what no one else can. It comes down to man vs. man; via machine. In a world where giant robots exist, those without them get stepped on. I hope to tackle these issues with a uniquely American sensibility in regard to character, storytelling, and especially design.

I love manga, but I don't want to just bite the Japanese. We can do better than this OEL stuff. God Body isn't a giant robot manga. It's a giant robot comic! And, I'm hoping to drop a jewel that proves to be singular on the comics landscape; both here and Japan. I believe the stories that will unfold from the God Body universe have the ability to illuminate something of human nature, and our relationship to our technology, our governments, and each other.

That, and they'll blow stuff up real good.

God Hour #3

Thought I'd introduce another character from God Body who will play a huge part in the story.

His name is Tyde Cantu. A veteran of the American military, he now works for Pure E.T. Inc. He joined the organization to, as he put it, "fight the good fight". Upon leaving the military, Cantu was offered lucrative professional positions in many organization, including the top military contractor in the world, AoG. However, though he wanted to be back on the field of combat, Cantu didn't want to simply fight to make money for rich people. He wanted to help people. He saw Pure E.T. Inc. as fulfilling that purpose.

Cantu pilots the Armada. This machine is heavily armored, and heavily armed, and was custom built for Cantu by Pure E.T. One of it's principle weapons is the shot-gun affectionately know as "God Bodier". Accurate within 3 cm from up to 12 miles, this gun fires bullets designed to pierce any body armor or force field known.

Both character and mech designed by Gilbert Colomo and Corance Davis. Above sketches by Gilbert Colomo.

Cordially Invited!!!

So, as 1/5 of the mighty Ghostwerks crew, I was invited to start posting here. So I shall. And, one of the things I'll be doing here is production blogs for some of my upcoming projects, not the least of which is the new giant robot comic I'm putting together.

The working title of the giant robot comic is "Armor of God", but that might change. The dynamic Gilbert Colomo has been brought in for mech and character designs, and he's been killing it, so far (more on that next time)!

I'm also in talks with a couple of well-known DFW area artists to do some stories from the martial-arts based Sparrow universe.

A-lot of my fans, along w/my esteemed colleagues in the industry, have been asking when I would hit the street with that fire again. And so, I have returned, at the turn of the tide.

Look for more updates at the end of the week.
