Issue 7 of Rising Stars is out this week; they've slotted September for the
first issue of Midnight Nation under the Joe's Comics imprint. (I've turned in
the first script, and Gary Frank is doing the pencils even as we speak).

It's a contemporary story that doesn't really fit most categories...maybe magic
realism comes closest, dark fantasy maybe...it sets some of the tropes of the
dark fantasy genre against a modern setting, with a police officer on a quest
to recover something taken from him, a search which shows him a side of the
country usually not seen, the hidden doors and secret places only glimpsed out
of the corner of the eye....
