On a Lighter Note: Eli Stone!

Friends of the blog will know Kat and I interviewed Marc Guggenheim about his Oni Press series Resurrection awhile back. Well, Marc is not only a comic book writer (and a darned good one), he's also a producer and writer for the ABC-TV show Eli Stone, premiering tonight at 10pm EST.

Kat and I don't work for ABC or Marc's production company, but we consider ourselves friends and supporters of his work. So if you're reading this, watch Eli Stone! Early reviews are fantastic and it sounds like the kind of thing Kat and I will LOVE.

Okay, so... do it, okay? thanks!

Marc Guggenheim: The Man, the Myth, the Legend

Kat and I had the pleasure of interviewing Marc Guggenheim (affectionately known in our circle of comic fans as "The Goog") for BPD a couple of months ago (said interview went live on the site Monday). Terrific guy with an extremely diverse writing career-- I'm nearly as jealous of him as I am of Seth Green.

Anyway, check out the interview. Kat took lead on this and did a great job; she's got a knack for interviewing. We talk Resurrection, his new creator-owned series from Oni Press, as well as his stints on Blade, Wolverine and The Flash; we also touch on his upcoming series Eli Stone.

We're wishing Marc all the best; Hollywood writers are dealing with a strike over unfair compensatory practices and he's in the middle of it all. But he's a good guy and we know he'll be okay.
