Words From The Hermit

by SMAc

Almost two months! That’s how long it’s been since I posted here. That’s crazy talk.

First of all, no, I haven’t dropped off the planet (is that possible?). I spent a wonderful few weeks after my Europe trip recovering from the delightful flu I picked up there (Swine? I have no idea) and then set about getting my home back in order. After that I spent a few more wonderful weeks getting back into shape (I love gyms, don’t you? Seriously, I love them but they’re like showers were to me when I was a kid; I hated the thought of them but loved them once I was there) and also brushing up on my Halo.

Now? I’m back at work and loving every second of it (although now it’s writing AND gym AND everything else I do that I have to pack into the day). I’m working on a mini series for IDW of the Transformer kind and also kicking into full gear on a creator owned book (the artwork coming in is STUNNING).

Apart from that I’m loving Season 1 of ‘Life’ (thank you, Pia), loving Season 1 of ‘Chuck’ (thank you, Pia) and eagerly anticipating Halo: ODST (sadly Batman: Arkham Asylum was a disappointment for me).

I’ll do my best to report more often! If I don’t (wow, immediately preparing for failure there) then you’re welcome to follow me on Twitter…where I post a *little* more often.

Stay tuned!

I know you’re not one for dropping too many spoilers, storywise… but can you say whether the Transformers series is set in the main IDWverse?

And on your creator-owned work… can I infer from your Twitter feed that Hutch is the artist?! After all those awesome AHM covers, I’d love to see the guy let loose on sequential art.

I’ll say nothing about the TFs work at the moment but once we’re further along then I’ll be more open to sharing ;)

And no, Hutch isn’t on the art. He doesn’t do sequentials.

i’m just happy that you’re able to hit up another TF series, mini or otherwise. I haven’t played Batman: AA yet, but really want to, as well as Assassin’s Creed 2!

Once I get some more work done on this book I’ll be running out to pick up ODST. It’s a great time to be a gamer.
