Alliance Command

The recent focus of Contra Alliance is three things…

First, solidifying national distribution for the trilogy–the project is hopefully close to linking up in a PERFECT marriage.

Second, developing an origins themed graphic novel–plans are moving forward quickly.

Third, using the graphic novel and book as source material for movie/TV adaptation–still a long way to go!

I plan to include the resolution and/or concrete strategy for each in the forthcoming press release announcing Contra Alliance to the world. A tentative title, The Contra Alliance Trilogy: Poised for Pop Culture Rise. As a bit of history, the project originally started as a movie script before I developed Shadows of the Past into a book. Interestingly, I always wanted to see it as a comic title. In essence these developments (if they continue unfolding) have a probable chance of happening in reverse order.

Thinking through the structure of a graphic novel, I reminisced of the old Valiant comic book universe. During its rise in the early 90’s, I was heavy into X-Men and Image Comics releases. Valiant had a well integrated cast and depth to its backstory, but hard to understand for a newcomer. Than came RAI #0, an origins and overview based one-shot.

That simple approach provided me a “light bulb” for a prologue covering–in a quick and reflective manner from the perspective of Princess Shia–the deep mythology of Contra Alliance. From the War of the Star, to Nerrial’s discovery of Earth, fall of The Three, and Battlestar’s recruitment to Nightwatch–you should see it. If things work out, you will.
