Joe, is there anything new you can tell us about possible film adaptations 
of either Midnight Nation or Rising Stars?  Are both in development hell? 
Is there any hope of ever seeing either of these works on the big screen? 
If so, would you be involved in the filmmaking process?  Do you have any 
rights regarding these properties, or are they fully owned by Image/Top Cow?

Respectfully,
Craig
Lawrence, KS

Not at the moment.  Midnight Nation is available, and it's one of those
things I might spec out on my own after a while, and Rising Stars just
ended its option period with MGM.  There are a couple of studios nosing
around the edges of the thing, but we'll have to see.  And yes, I
control the film and TV rights to both of those.
