Naturally, I'm thrilled that other publishers are bidding for the rights
to do B5 comics now that DC dropped the ball. But what I'm wondering is:

1) Do you plan to submit your comic script that DC mangled/rejected ("The
Book Of The War") to whichever publisher gets the rights?

2)Is "The Book Of The War" the story of Valen and Zathras during the last
Shadow War, as one of your CIS posts hinted? Or are you saving that story
for another time?

Just wondrin'....

"1) Do you plan to submit your comic script that DC mangled/rejected ("The

Yup.

"2) Is "The Book Of The War" the story of Valen and Zathras during the
last Shadow War, as one of your CIS posts hinted? Or are you saving that
story for another time?"

No, it's really the story of Marcus, how he lost his brother, joined the
rangers, trained on Minbar, and his first missions...it's a chance to see
a LOT of the B5 universe we don't normally see, from his perspective.  But
a separate four-issue arc on Valen and Zathras is a definite possibility.

We'll see where the rights finally land, and take it from there.  Should
take a while yet.
