Kevin Melrose, of Thought Balloons, has started up a sorely-needed resource/hang-out for writers interested in comic books. Called Scryptic Studios, the site is an ambitious one, seeking to provide discussion forums, columns, etudes on screenwriting, research and a million other things. News, resources, and even script samples are provided. It's a rich and entertaining site, sure to bring out the hate in the usual snarky observers of the scene.
Those of you wanting even more behind the scenes info on Planet of the Capes (readers of the daily update will surely remember Ken Lowery's look at the initial plot and proposal last month) are invited to read a pdf of the entire script that Brandon McKinney worked from. Just a few minutes of poking around Scryptic will yield scripts from Steve Niles, Andy Diggle, Marv Wolfman, and Clay Moore, too. Enjoy.
Also, stalwart Johnny B may have unintentionally started a new meme: foregoing any sort of review and going straight for the back cover blurb for the long-mooted Scurvy Dogs collection. "Scurvy Dogs is like what Captain Blood would be like if the Marx Bros. had kidnapped Errol Flynn, stuffed him in a barrel with an underage hooker and a bottle of tequila, and made the picture themselves!" This one and Laura Gjovaag's "Oh my. Um. Well. Yikes. Er. Uh. Eh. Ok. These are... bizarre." are almost guaranteed shoe-ins. Shane Bailey, the above-mentioned Kevin Melrose, Dorian Wright, Mike Sterling, Bill Sherman, and Mark Hale should be good for some quotes, too.
