    Hi Charles -

    Would love to talk with you more about your “27″ comic. Do you have an agent/manager I should reach out to directly? Look forward to hearing from you.

    Best,
    Dean

    Hey Charles,

    I recently learned of you from your work on ’27,’ which I can’t wait to read when it hits stores next week.

    I’m also a brooklyn-based comic book writer, and I’m actually working on an OGN with Renzo right now. It’s very impressive that you had 50 completed pages as you were shopping ’27′ around.

    I was curious to know what days you’ll be at KingCon this weekend? Would love to pick your brain about pitching.

    Feel free to check out my site for a different comic I’ve recently pitched.

    Kindest Regards,
    Jeremy Holt

      Hi, Jeremy –

      I’ll be at KingCon on Saturday and Sunday, and my band is playing the kickoff party on Friday night. Definitely swing by!

    You are being asked to participate because your blog posts are tagged as being related to the theme of travel in one of the blog-hosting services and because your blog is not hosted by any commercial agency. Your participation is completely voluntary.

    The survey is NOW OPEN and will remain open until midnight (EDT) 20 April 2011. If you are interested and would like to part in take the survey, please visit this URL: http://bloggersurvey.web.unc.edu/

    Thank you in advance for considering participation in my study!

    Hello,

    Yesterday I read 27 which I bought at Mocca, Robert Saywitz talked to me. I wonder if you’d be interested to talk to me about possibly story consulting me on my project.

    If you’d like please email me at grafsusigraf@gmail.com

    The Charles Soules I once knew was born in 1953 in Buffalo, NY. Are you him?

      Unfortunately, no – I was born in Milwaukee, somewhat after 1953. But good luck with your search; in my experience, Charles Soules are exceptionally good people.

    One of my best friends got into comics because of Snyder’s run on Swamp Thing. He’s really happy with your first issue, and is really looking forward to your Third Eye appearance.

    I have a passing appreciation for the Red Lanterns(My 2013 New Year’s resolution involves multiples of the same Red Lantern shirt, and a year long wardrobe choice), and Guy was probably my favorite Green Lantern during the Geoff Johns run. If you’d be so kind, since I doubt I’ll be able to ask you much more than ‘Can you make it out “To Sparkles” please?’ on FCBC, I had a few questions:

    1) How do you view the function and purpose of the Red Light to the Lanterns themselves?

    2) With the story shifting to Guy instead of the current core members of the Red Lanterns, how are you going to write it so a someone with Protanopia will be able to tell they didn’t accidentally pick up a copy of GLC?

    3) Each Red Lantern seems representative of a different form rage can take. Selfish(Bleeze), vengeful(Atrocitus), repressed(Rankorr), sarcastic(Zilius Zox), and alone(Ratchet) all seem to be represented in the current cast. Are they going to be explored more as protagonists, or are they becoming supporting cast to Guy? In the same vein, what facet of rage do you think Guy is representative of?

    4) When is Dex-Starr coming back?

    Thanks for at least reading this far.

      Hey, Ray –

      Thanks for the note – looking forward to seeing you in Annapolis next week. I’m getting ready to head out to C2E2 right this second, so I’m not sure I can address your questions in too much detail at the moment, but we can definitely talk about this stuff at Third Eye.

      Guy is going to be a big part of the RL run I have planned, mainly because I see him as a great entry point to the Reds. I want to flesh out the entire roster (make them more than the archetypes you suggest), and I want to do that, in part, by viewing them through the lens of a “regular guy” like Guy Gardner. However, NO ONE is going to mistake RL for GLC. Promise.

      Dex-Starr’s back right away, and plays a very significant role. I love that dude.

        I was informed by my friends that during the signing I was “sneering and as pretentious as I’ve ever seen you.” I apologize profusely. I’d been up for about 50 hours at that point due to moving my family away while I finish work in Maryland. I drove back specifically for the FCBD signing, but the my ability to talk to people seems to have suffered as a consequence. Again, sorry about the glowering. It was great to meet you, and I’m really excited for the future of Red Lanterns. After reading ST #20, I know my favorite comic is in the hands of exactly who it should be. I’m excited for the 26th of June. Thank you so much, and if you make it back to Annapolis I’ll make sure I sleep at some point before I come to the signing.

    No worries, Ray – I didn’t even notice. Thanks for the kinds words on Swamp Thing, and I hope Red Lanterns works for you! Looking forward to hearing your opinion.
