Over in a post on Brian's boards, Thommy Melanson asked...
"Hey C.B. -
- obviously you're currently editing Powers for Icon, but other than that, are you solely just writing for Marvel nowadays, or do you have a kind of murky, hard-to-define position at the company?
Are you involved with the upcoming Dabel Bros. projects at M?"
Which provides the perfect lead in for me to explain what I do and what I like...
Yes, I edit Powers, and I love it! It's the only book I edit as I gave up the editor gig a few years back. Brian roped me into this one and it was an offer I couldn't refuse. I do it out of love for the title and my friendship with Brian and Mike.
My main gig these days is as a writer. I'm writing Loners for Marvel, and the Fairy Tales series. Spider-Man Fairy Tales starts in May and runs for four issues and rolls right into Avengers Fairy Tales for four issues. I'm also writing the Sister Grimm one-shot for their Mystic Arcana event. I have a few other small things for Marvel but nothing I can talk about just yet. I continue to pitch for them and some day I will write Cloak and Dagger! :)
I'm also writing Drain, Wonderlost and Compass, which are coming out from Image. Drain 3 hits April 18th, Wonderlost 2 is on sale this July, and Compass will start in the fall.
I also did a short story in 24seven 2 with Nuno Plati, and a Fear Agent short for Rick Remender with Tommy Ohtsuka. There are a couple other things I have in the works, but I'm about at maximum capacity now.
I also just got back from Tokyo where I was hired on as a story consultant on an anime series by a major studio there. It's a whole new world for me and is quite an educational and eye-opening experience. More on that when I can talk about it.
I also still do serve as a consultant for Marvel on talent matters. I guess you can think of me as their A&R guy. I help them out with pencilers, inkers, colorists and painters, keeping an eye out for new talent, traveling to shows to meet folks and review portfoilios, and working on recruiting new artists for their books.
I'm not involved in any of the Dabel's stuff, unless reading their books counts!
I love Star Wars and collect Japanese SW memoribilia.
I think Kate Beckinsale in the hottest woman in the world.
I read almost every comic that comes out which is why I'm poor.
I love manga, current translated favorites being Monster, Bleach, Genshiken, and Kurosagi CDS.
I have too many favorite artists to name but would kill to work with Katsuhiro Otomo or Hiroaki Samura.
I'm an old fogie listen to mostly classic rock.
My idols include George Lucas, Akira Kurosawa, John Hughes, Jim Morrison and Quentin Tarantino.
My favorite food is buffalo wings.
Nice to meet you all!
