Preview pages from the graphic novel Hard Bargain by Stephen S. DeKnight and Leno Carvalho, currently up on Kickstarter from Humanoids.

[dirtyriver]

“Frank Harding is a hard-boiled P.I. in 1940’s Los Angeles who finds himself fighting not only the usual cadre of criminals and ne’er-do-wells, but also the occasional demon and other malevolent supernatural beings. While fighting the forces of darkness is another day at the office for Frank, his current case, tied into his own past and L.A.’s all-too-real history of prejudice and discrimination, may be the one that puts Frank out of business…for good.”

Hard Bargain, GN written by Steven S. DeKnight, art by Leno Carvalho, announced for August 2024

Dirty Girls

So the conclusion I've come to is... in my own fanfic writing projects, I sometimes have works that I know are very good and are received well. And there are some that I know just stink, and the lower interaction reflects it. It's pretty comforting to know that for professional writers, the same thing is true.

Jane Espenson, for instance, beloved by Spuffies everywhere for being our man on the inside, ALSO co-wrote "Gingerbread," my least favorite ep ever.

Douglas Petrie is, in my opinion, absolutely an undercover Spuffy, or at least understood the assignment well enough to fake it. And I love him for being the first to write Wesley, for breaking Bangel up one of the times in S3, for writing "Fool for Love," for strengthening Spike's character in every ep that included him.

And David Fury... look, I know he gets a lot of flack, but I think he doesn't actually hate Spike as much as it seems. Looking at his list of episodes and the messages I know to be in them, I think he's just VERY pro-soul, and can't wrap his head around a vampire being good without one. But once Spike does get his soul... well, we need look no further than "Showtime."

But really, let's all bow down to Rebecca Rand Kirshner. For "Out of My Mind." For "Tabula Rasa." For "Help." For "Touched." For some of the sweetest Spuffy moments in all her other eps.

Okay, a bunch of misconceptions I keep seeing about Pacific Rim would be cleared up with the understanding that:

Pacific Rim and Pacific Rim: Uprising had two completely different directors, with two very different creative visions. Pacific Rim was directed by Guillermo del Toro, famous for busting into the public consciousness with the extremely anti-fascist film Pan's Labyrinth. Pacific Rim: Uprising was directed by Steven S. DeKnight, who previously worked on... Bayformers. Yeah.

The people behind Pacific Rim: Uprising did not look into Pacific Rim's extended lore. In fact, they barely even paid attention to what happened in the first movie. (There are multiple inconsistencies between these films.)

Pacific Rim: Uprising did not begin as a cash grab from executives. Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham (the guy who came up with Pacific Rim in the first place) had always planned for a sequel. The pair of them were involved in developing that sequel... until a scheduling conflict forced del Toro to leave. He was then replaced by DeKnight, because executives always saw Pacific Rim as being the same kind of thing as Bayformers, and you know the rest of the story.
