Ultimate Quest! (AKA more Green Wake)
Here’s post number #5463 in my quest to get as many people as I can to read Green Wake (yes, I know Issue #10 is the last issue…you’re fucking with my chi when you get down on me like that).
Over at his blog (which you should probably just subscribe to so you don’t keep having to listen to my shit) Kurtis has posted a one page Green Wake script that was meant as a potential test for a new artist (it wasn’t clear at the time whether Riley Rossmo would be able to commit to an ongoing series).
In the post Kurtis mentions the site Thought Balloons, a site I’ve recently had the good fortune to join as a tenured writer (which I talked about here).
Around the same time Kurtis noticed that Thought Balloons ‘subject’ that week was Green Wake and so contributed the one page script there, and it’s a doozy.
As I mentioned in my initial Thought Balloons post it’s hard to write an effective one page script, you have no luxuries. Just the bare bones. It forces you to think about the panel and dialogue choices you’re making and to concentrate on economic storytelling.
I wasn’t aware of the site at the time and wished I’d had the chance to come up with something of my own for a series that’s a personal favourite.

Comic Review [First Issue]: Peter Panzerfaust #1
[via]
Yes, the title of this comic is Peter Panzerfaust. My first reaction to it was (via IGN comment), “I laughed so hard at the title I actually choked,” and writer Kurtis Wiebe (Green Wake, Intrepids) responded to that with, “Success. One day my comics will actually kill people.”
Well, I’m not too fond of the idea that a comic will kill me, but I still HAD to try out the first issue of this new series. With such a crazy concept as Peter Pan in World War II, how could I not want to grab this one?
So, what did I think of Image Comics’ newest series? Read on to find out!
