Darien Connors is coming to comics!
JC De La Torre announced via his blog that Darien Connors is coming to the world of comic books.
De La Torre and artist Ray Dillon have agreed on a collaboration to bring Darien to the medium. Dillon has an extensive resume, working on best selling author Anne Rice’s Servant of the Bones comic book adaption. He also worked on NY Times Best Seller The Last Unicorn, the gritty re-imagining of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – TMNT- Dawn of the Ninja, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Music Box and Image Comics’ Nightmare World.
"I know my Darien fans will be excited to see his story spread to another medium," the author said during the announcement, "I want you to know I’m going to try to keep the comic as true to the original story as possible but as with any migration to a new medium, some liberties and changes may take place.Just take some solace in that I am the one doing the writing for this comic and you know how dedicated I am to you – my defenders of the realm. I’ll make sure that whatever is changed (if anything) it will be to enhance the story, your understanding of kishpu and the world of Eridu."
“The visuals of Darien Connors will be very sci-fi, fantasy, superpowers with big bold colors – exciting,” Dillon said, “Books like Tellos and Crossgen Comics stuff have helped this genre find more of an audience.”
Darien Connors is part of De La Torre's 99 Centers series and was written under the pen name, Jason Dawson. The story follows the exploits of a boy necromancer named Darien who discovers that not only is he not human but he’s part of an ancient war between alien races.
While he learns of his power, legacy, destiny and importance to the battle, Darien establishes bonds with new, strange friends and learns his magical craft of Kishpu.
All while fighting for his life, his family and peace throughout the galaxy.
De La Torre will keep his fans updated via his Twitter account @jcdelatorre and his blog.
