Project Update: The Dominoes #1

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd share these awesome pitch pages that I worked on with artist Jim Towe and colorist Jon Alderink.

The pitch is for a mini-series I developed with Jim called The Dominoes.

Here's some of the info on the project as well as a cover and pages 11 - 15 of the first script.

The Dominoes
“Life is strange, evil is stranger, don the mask, and face the danger!”
A 4-Issue Mini-Series by Kenny Porter and Jim Towe

Premise:
Roxy Shultz, a young college girl, wants a life outside of her mother’s shadow. But when a creature bent on ridding the world of free will attacks her city, Roxy is enlisted by a group of cosmic avengers called The Dominoes in order to save reality.

Main Characters:
Roxy Shultz: A community college student and aspiring painter, she’s conflicted about her future and is pressured by her mother to follow in her footsteps of academia. She just wants her freedom and to do something that matters.
Martha Shultz: A tough as nails English professor who wants her daughter Roxy to have a stable life, by force if necessary.
Slate: A demonic creature with a grin that can never frown. He’s determined to take away free will from the Earth, then the universe. He has a deep hatred for The Dominoes and a mysterious past.

The Dominoes
They’re a group of supernatural masked avengers that travel by dimensional gateways and fight threats to reality.
Strut: The current leader of the team. He’s more worried about others than himself and his ability allows him to take massive amounts of damage. His ability to lead is waning, and he’s worried their next fight could be their last.
Gavel: Strut’s right-hand woman and a hard brawler. She’s exceptionally strong, both in mind and body.

Gritty: The moral compass of the team, Gritty can see the truth in the universe and can read people’s auras.

If I had to compare the book to anything it'd be like a mix between Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and a rock album with mod blended in there.

This scene picks up right as the main character, Roxy, first meets The Dominoes face-to-face when they confront Slate in a clothing store.

The Dominoes - Pitch Pages

The Dominoes

"Life is strange, evil is stranger, don the mask, and face the danger!"


These are pages 11 - 15 of the first issue of The Dominoes. A story about a young college girl fighting for her free will alongside a group of cosmic masked avengers.

If I had to peg it down and compare it to anything I'd say it's sort of like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets Doom Patrol.

We have a version with letters, but I just wanted to go ahead and showcase the artwork here.

In The Works -- Bluster (Comic Book Mini-Series by Kenny Porter and Andy Budnick)

Bluster

A while ago I posted about a comic book project that I'm doing with artist Andy Budnick called Bluster. It's about a family that takes in a super powered escaped convict. While the family is imprisoned by the choices that they've made in life, the escaped convict is escaping imprisonment from the hand he was dealt genetically.

Here are Andy's pencils so far:

Violent Skies - First 7 Pages

We're nearing completion of Violent Skies for pitching this fall, and the artwork looks fantastic.

The story is a science fiction/action/thriller that deals with a supernatural gun-for-hire named Vincent Fox. He works for crime syndicates in order to find his abducted brother, who was taken by the world government decades ago.

The pencils and inks are by the incredible Kendall Goode, and the coloring was done by the masterful Paulina Ganucheau.

Have a look!
