Babbling Point

Once upon a time... Many years ago (maybe six or so years ago), I wanted to do a music video for The Jerks' song "Rage". The video would star the futuristic versions of Darna, Panday, and Zuma. These analog versions would battle mecha-powered Metrocom cops in an alternate reality where Martial Law was never lift. I imagined it would animated like how AKIRA was animated. Since I didn't have the funds or the resourcers to do that, I just thought I'd turn it to a comic book. So, I sent the script to one of the guys and got a couple of sketches in return. Arvie, the artist, loved the idea so much, he started to map out the whole history of the characters in the "music video". Anyway, our day-jobs got the better of us, and we never even got to do Page 1 of the project.

RIDERS OF THE STORM I bought the very first STORMWATCH because I was Jim Lee fanboy. It had an interesting premise of a team of super-powered soldiers sanctioned by the United Nations. Of course, I was disappointed when I found out Jim Lee only did the cover and the inside art was nowhere near as good as Lee’s art style. The stories also felt like I was reading the rejected scripts of “Street Fighter the Movie”, where we just see costumed wrestlers fighting in different parts of the world. The next time I picked up STORMWATCH was their 37th issue , when Warren Ellis and Tom Raney took over the series and I was not disappointed with that run. Ellis made the team for ruthless and made them battle deadlier threats with delusions of bringing about a better world and inject a conspiracy angle that made you not trust Weatherman One, the commander of Stormwatch. Ellis eventually pushed the title towards the direction of the wide-screen, action-packed stories of THE AUTHORITY. The Stormwatch n...
