Re: OT: David Mack is scripting Farscape comics about Scorpius? HELL

^ Thanks, guys. I'm just glad to finally be free to talk about the gig. I've had to keep it under my hat since last summer.

The first four issues of Farscape: Scorpius are scripted, and I'm looking forward to starting work on the next four-issue arc with Rockne S. O'Bannon any day now.

ETA: ComicMix.com has posted a detailed interview w/me & Keith R.A. DeCandido re: our work on the Farscape & new Scorpius comics.

Congrats good sir, this is epically shiney.

slightly numptyish question, but will this be based post PKWars or during the series?

Quote from Keith's LJ in response to a similar question:

It'll run concurrently with the main monthly title.

So it will be set post PKWars.

^ What Defcon said.

Cool, been awhile since I watched PKWars so I'll have a watch before I get this and the others in the series.

Wow, this sounds really cool. It'll probably be a while before I read any of these though. I haven't seen all of the last couple seasons yet, and I thought it would be best to see them all before I read the comics.

You guys do know that there have been Farscape comics for more than a year now, right?

I can't speak for anyone else, but the individual issues have been very hard to get a hold of in Winnipeg, so I can understand how other people who didn't already know about them might've missed their existence...

At this point, I'm just getting the collections.

Re: OT: David Mack is scripting Farscape comics about Scorpius? HELL

Yes definitely, KRAD, and I've been enjoying them deeply. Seeing good ole death-killer-of-death Mack added to the roster, and penning Scorpius, is certainly awesome though

Re: OT: David Mack is scripting Farscape comics about Scorpius? HELL

I've never seen Farscape, but I have a friend who has the whole series on DVD and he keeps threatening to lend them to me, but he never follows through. If I ever get my hands on the DVDs, I'll probably start picking the comics up as I'm sure they are very good just by the people who are writing them. However, I don't want to spoil the show itself by reading the comics first.

Re: OT: David Mack is scripting Farscape comics about Scorpius? HELL

I would highly, highly recommend the show. I gave up on it three times because the first season was so ridiculously awful, only to be blown away by the other three once I got to them, so it's a bit of a slow start but you should SO go there.

If nothing else, the showrunner now has KRAD and Mack scripting comics for him, so the dude clearly has impeccable taste
