Some days you go with the flow, some days the flow eats you.<\/p>\n
Or something like that.<\/p>\n
Thursday was an “eats you” day. I won’t dwell on it.<\/p>\n
As promised, some information on *Hard Time: Season 2*:<\/p>\n
First of all, yes, there definitely will be a Season 2. *Hard Time* is the lone survivor of the DC Fccus imprint.<\/p>\n
We’ve been “picked up,” as they say in television, for twelve more issues. The contracts have been signed. The first two scripts have been written. We’re working on the third. Artist **Brian Hurtt** — who draws *much* too fast, damn him — is well into the pencils for #2.<\/p>\n
Note that I said “we’re” working on the third issue. The “we” is myself and **Mary Skrenes**, who contributed mightily to the writing of the first twelve issues but who, for contractual reasons, couldn’t be credited for her work. That’s changed as of Season 2. Mary will at last receive the co-writing credit she deserves.<\/p>\n
Mary’s name may be familiar to some of you. She and I created and wrote *Omega the Unknown* for Marvel Comics a few decades ago. That series has never been reprinted, unfortunately, but I hear it’s become a cult hit as an illegal Internet download.<\/p>\n
Note also that I said Brian Hurtt was working on the *pencils* for #2. Brian, who both pencilled and inked issues 1-10 of the first series, has chosen to turn the inking over to Steve Bird<\/strong>. Steve inked the final issue of the first series.<\/p>\n Some other changes:<\/p>\n The Focus imprint and cover design are gone as of Season 2. *Hard Time* will be published under the unfocused DC bullet.<\/p>\n And we’re changing the balloon font. The uppercase\/lowercase lettering was an interesting experiment, but we all concluded that the traditional all-uppercase comic book lettering is simply more attractive and easier to read.<\/p>\n There’s much more to tell you about Season 2, of course, but the third-issue script won’t get written if I don’t get some sleep.<\/p>\n More to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some days you go with the flow, some days the flow eats you.
