Gone But Not Forgotten...


IGN's latest Lost in Translation blog post gives Megas a shout-out, "Even though it came out in 2004, the series also makes numerous pop-culture references that have stood the test of time (well, as much a test as 6 years is…) well."

Damn, it's been that long since we were shut down?

Well, keep checking back in for more badassery and news on upcoming projects for 2011, including Motorcity - a sci-fi action series that'll be re-uniting the team behind Megas, Orion - a live-action show for SyFy, and a as-yet-unnamed 100 page graphic novel project so chock full of giant robots, it is destined to blow minds.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

A Very Merry Megas Halloween...


An amazing Megas costume made by Jeff Smith for his son Tyler. The fingers move and there is a speaker system that was blasting riffs from the show. And if that don't say love, I don't know what does!

Rock on guys!

Hammer-down for Motorcity-town!

Cat's officially out of the bag as today Disney announced the series pickup of Motorcity - one of the projects I've been working on with pal and fellow Megas XLR and Downtown collaborator Chris Prynoski.

Look for ass-loads of over-the-top car vs. robot action as a great team of artists and writers has been assembled to blow your pre-and-post pubescent minds.

(And yes, there will be chicks with ninja swords - except they'll be laser-swords. And the chicks will be robots. And so will the swords. Oh, and the cars too.)

And Japan Too, I Guess...


Interesting article on Z-Chan.com about the cross-pollination of anime, that not only mentions my pals' Emmy-winning series Afro Samurai, but another much more lowbrow show about giant robots bashing the crap out of each other...

Poll Position


Although, it's only been a few weeks since SyFy's announcement of our new project Orion, the interweb has already lit up - with more lovers than haters, interesting to note.

In addition to the articles and forums, a few polls have sprung up as well - with Orion in the lead so far.

Glad to see that there is excitement for a new space opera!

Imagine Greater...



This morning, Variety broke the story on my new project at SyFy:

"Orion, described as National Treasure meets Firefly, is a space opera centering on a female relic hunter and he(r) team. The crew looks to sell valuable items on the black market while avoiding bounty hunters."

I'm lucky to be working with a great team including Ryuhei Kitamura (director of Midnight Meat Train), F.J. DeSanto (producer of The Spirit), as well as Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain (the team behind Outlander).

Look for more info soon!
