When I thought of the idea of an emo kid with "emo superpowers," I was still very much dedicated to making Steverino work. A select few people pushed me to play with the concept, so I made a 22 page mini comic with the Emo Boy character. I sent it off to SLG, as they were the only publisher I could see printing it. I was working on the fourth issues/issue when SLG contacted me and asked if I was still looking for a publisher. The series lasted 12 issues and is now collected in 2 graphic novels. I recently finished a screenplay for a movie version of Emo Boy for Kyle Newman to direct for Vanguard Films and Animation.
