Turn around time - less than a month.
The pitch was a one-shot story, written when the initial guidelines called for a single, twenty-two page comic script. It was a Man-Wolf story, only updated to rid him of those silly fucking boots and laser gun and what-ever crap they saddled him with. Without burdening you with the full treatment, it was based on "The Most Dangerous Game", where men hunted Man-Wolf on a game preserve, without really knowing what he was. One of the men, the one who owned the preserve, had a gallery of taxidermied were-wolves in his house, and he wanted to make this big, white were-wolf the main piece. And they went out, loaded with silver bullets and silver frag-grenades, and in the end they can't kill him with silver, because he's more than a were-wolf, he's a god in the Other Realm (don't know anything about what all that means, but it's in the Marvel Guide to the Universe.) The guy, Lucas Garnier, actually causes more of the men to die than Man-Wolf. It was a nice, tidy script, and admittedly should have been pitched as a three- to six-part story (for typical Marvel story-telling, though they said they didn't want that, didn't they?).
Nothing symbolic or fractal or supercontextual or representative of a grander vision; just a simple story about men hunting a monster, who isn't quite as monstrous as the men hunting it.
I wanted to re-vamp the idea and pitch a story-arc with a revised origin and the whole shit, but I've read and heard too much that says EPIC's all crap and a pipe-dream. So. Perhaps I'll try Digital Webbing Presents, at least there I know I know what the whore looks like, what she charges, and where I'll stand when it's done.
Is it too late to tell Cameron that we tried, got fucked, and bow to his insight now? |
