Incident Report

Ten years ago Anne walked away from the dangerous life as an ICA agent to start a family. Anne can shoot fire from her hands, but her true calling is helping kids like her get the support they need to grow up. When an old friend is mysteriously killed in the line of duty, Anne finds herself pulled towards the life she left behind. Along the way, she encounters Vladimir Markov, a Russian ICA agent sent to investigate the murder.

Attic Door Media are looking at superhero comics with practical eyes. Take the impact of powers-based psychological drama, and the commonly tried-and-discarded idea of governmental employment of superpowers people, and create something new: a story where superheroes dealing with bureaucracy is not a gimmick, and the best way to help the humanity that hates and fears you is to become a salaried public servant.

I work with the Attic Door writing team to develop their outlines and direction, and provide script notes for a few rounds until we’re happy with issue structure, artistic resources and voice. On issue one, the majority of the art was completed without my interaction, so we also looked at how to ensure that the script and lettering could be optimised to suit the page. Moving forwards, I give layout and lettering draft feedback where it’s possible, and also edited the short prose stories that were a part of the issue two Kickstarter campaign. (They are all so good. Do yourself a favour, and get a hold of them!)
