Hello everyone old, new, and otherwise! Gosh, it's been going on 9 months since the last State of the Comic! I think it's time for an update!

THE COMIC
-I'd revisited the good ol' issue #0 script and read it over. I determined that it suffered from the same issues I encountered with the first drafts of issues #1-3, but I also realized that #0 is meant to be a one-off preview into the Mad Mummy's world. I decided to bite the bullet and completely rewrite #0 and still try to keep one issue in length. What resulted was an entirely different take on Re-Act's story, and I think I got the message across a lot clearer and in better timing. The rewrite is live for reading--mainly for shopping around to potential artists--but I also decided to keep the original script in my gallery as a means of seeing how I've evolved as a writer. You can view the revision here and the original here.
-I've done a LOT of world-building these past few months as a means of fleshing out how the Mad Mummy's world works. I'd revisited my spoilerific "Timeline 2" Word document (the likes of which I shall never divulge on the internet!) to add and edit entries in my all-important story timeline--paying specific attention to the Chaos Cults (EULA Gang, Grimmes, and La Femmes) and the New Earth Organized Government's (NEO-G) formation.
-I also took a brief dive into the world of politics to finally formalize what kind of government I wanted to make out of NEO-G and how it came to be what it will be by issues #0 and 1. The results can be viewed in a cool graphic of NEO-G's organization, located here. Read the artist's comments for more info on NEO-G.
-Ever since I created New Earth over a decade ago, I'd had this nebulous image of what the world would look like in the future I had defined. So I finally sat down, did some research, and started mapping out the geography--both political and physical--of New Earth circa The Mad Mummy #1. I took so many factors into account, including natural and man-made disasters that would shape and scar out planet over the millennia between today and my story's future. I'll post a couple deviations with the results as soon as I've finished the task--which isn't long now.
-Lastly, I've completed writing issue #8 and started writing #9. I know, I know; I keep saying that I'm getting closer to publication, but it seems like I'm putting it off. I'm really not, I promise. I am still shopping artists, but I haven't done anything yet as to contacting any or making Kickstarter plans. I'm trying to gather as much info as possible about how others went about publishing their own comics before I make any solid plans. I want to make as great of an entrance as I can, y'know? I want to know what I'm doing before I do it. For that reason, I'm planning on publishing a comic or two outside the Mad Mummy beforehand as a means of getting my feet wet--metaphorically speaking, of course. Execute from experience.

Hey Orion,

My name is Brenden Sellers and I'm a comic book artist currently attending SCAD Atlanta for Sequential art. For a couple years now I've been wanting to draw and self publish comics for my own comic book company called Crew Comics with some of my friends. Unfortunately, I'm not the best writer so none of my ideas got off the ground and I've been wanting to draw a really cool story. I read your Mad Mummy script and I thought it was great and I love the characters. This is exactly the kind of comic I was thinking of for Crew Comics. I'm working on a Mad Mummy pin-up right now so you can get an idea of how I would draw him and I could even draw some of the other characters. I don't know if you'd be interested but I'd like to collaborate with you. This comic would be a lot of fun. Let me know if you're interested. :)
