I have ten pages of script. I'd like an artist with whom to collaborate. Not, honestly, on the full ten pages -- that's a lot of work in a few weeks! But I'd like a couple of pages, to get a sense of the visual.
The nursery rhyme is:
Alex in chains! Lorna a deranged prisoner! Rachel a killer!
Okay, it wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but I am commited. I also have no judgment where Rachel Summers-Grey is concerned, so I can't in good faith recommend for or against this comic.
The entire Noir concept is there for *fun*. It's there to tell character-based stories about who these people are as people when you strip away the powers and the piles of canonical history. Take away all of that, and what do you have? Put them sometime else, and what do they do? That is the purpose of this, that is the joy of this, that is the fun and the excitement of the Noir books.
With that as the understood purpose and goal, this is a fan-freaking-tastic comic. It executes those ideas perfectly setting up a new world and new versions of these characters. It starts a story whose conclusion I want to know.
