Hello Fellow Junkies!

It probably will come as no surprise to any of you that I am a major Sigler Junkie.   I have been addicted to the FDO’s stories since he was just ”Scott” – long before he was promoted to the Generalisimo! 

Earthcore, Ancestor, Infected, The Rookie — I have been hooked all along.

And now — Nocturnal!

I love the story of The Ninja, Pookie and Marie’s Children — just like you

I have been craving my hits of Nocturnal every week — just like you. 

I wait every week for my next hit – just like you.

Unlike you, though, I’m a week ahead! 

So when Scott sent me Episode #36 and asked me to draw a picture of The Ninja, I was totally jazzed. 

Did you wonder what Bryan Clauser was drawing on the mask in Episode #35?

Here ya go –

I hope you like the drawing.  I KNOW you’re gonna LOVE Nocturnal #36!

Please let us know what you think.  Would you like to see NOCTURNAL, the Comic?

Hmmmm?

See ya soon.

PS – If all of this “Junkie”, “Generalisimo!” and “Ninja” talk means nothing to you — You are probably here because you love Black Jack Justice.  Don’t worry — we’re not totally crazy.  It will all make sense (somewhat) if you visit http://www.scottsigler.com/  

PPS — I’ve read Contagious, too.  Jealous yet?

Hi again,

Here’s the deal — Although Scott has done a fair bit of writing and Mark managed to pass the 6th grade on the 3rd try, neither of us has ever really done what you might call “personal blogging.”  So we’re kinda learning as we go here.

Our goal with this main Addictive Comic’s Blog is to try carry on a conversation with you readers — we want to talk with you, not at you.

But occassionally (like today for instance) we might have to talk about ourselves in the third person (like football players do) because that is the easiest way to keep things straight.   Rest assured that for the forseeable future Scott and/or Mark will be writing most of the posts you read here.

We want to always use this blog to let you in on the very newest happenings at Addictive Comics and introduce you to some of the talented creators we have lined up.

Please ALWAYS feel free to leave a comment on EVERY post.  

For today and tomorrow, we thought it might be good to talk about the two comics we are opening the Addictive Comics site with — The Rookie and Black Jack Justice. 

THE ROOKIE

Many of you are, of course, familiar with Scott’s Science Fiction/Gangster/ Football story — and right now those who are not are going, “WHAT?!” 

Yes, The Rookie is all those things and more.  And since I have already written this once and can’t improve on perfection – and we are busy and lazy – here is the description from ScottSigler.com –

Imagine a story that combines the intense football action of “Any Given Sunday” with the space opera style of “Star Wars” and the criminal underworld of “The Godfather.”

“The Rookie” is set amongst a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future. Aliens play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that — literally — want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed and rival players are assasinated.

Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that has been raised all his life to hate, and kill, those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or hell wind up just another stat in the column marked “killed on the field.”

Sounds pretty Cool, huh?

ADDICTIVE COMICS’ THE ROOKIE

The Story

The Rookie comic is adapted straight from the script by Scott Sigler.  If it was in the Podcast or Novel, it’s in the comic. 

Quentin Barnes, The PNFL, The Quyth, The GFL, The Krakens, The Creterakians, the Sklorno, the Ki — They’re ALL there.

The Artwork

Mark Hester will be supplying the artwork — both pencils and inks.  Rather than talk about it, here’s a sample.  It’s a character study for Gredok, the Quyth leader who makes his first appearance in the comic on page five –
