Hello there!

MY WEEK
This week has been a mixture of planning and writing.
I started the week by writing a fun three page Frankie Stein script for Monster Fun, Rebellion’s revival of the classic British humour comic that returns to newsstands next April, and ended by writing eleven pages of Shadow Service #12.
My Shadow Service co-creator Corin is about to start thumbnailing issue 11 and I can’t wait to see her working on our characters again. I’ve missed working with her daily during our little break between arcs and had a great chat on Thursday when we got excited about some of the things that are coming up in arc three, which at the moment has the working title of Death to Spies. Yes, that’s definitely a Bond reference!
In between the writing blocked out four issues of a new superhero project that I’ll be starting for DC soon. Can’t reveal anything else about that other that I’m having fun writing a slightly different version of one of my favourite heroes.
Away from work, we introduced three new goldfish to the Scott household in the form of Ron (named after the great Ron Ulysses Swanson in Parks and Recreation by me and my wife), Dwight (named after the character of the same name in The US Office by my youngest daughter) and Raymond (named after Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine). You don’t want to know how long it took us to come up with three names we could agree on. And I thought naming characters was hard!
