A comic series set in the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington by Jason Sutherland and Kevin M. Jones.
This is a concept cover for the fist issue of
One concept we have been kicking around is trying to feature him on as many covers as we can, and if we can pull it off featuring him on all of our covers! One major thing that is missing from this cover is the cityscape of downtown
Both of us love this cover and the idea of having a kid drawing some of the main plot points of each issue as an ongoing theme for our covers. But we know the story already, so what we hope to get is some feedback from you reading our blog. So let us know what you think about any of the stuff you see here; we can’t wait to read what you are thinking.

When under pressure from work she tends to drink Japanese rice sake and work at home even when she is “off”. When she is on the job she sometimes toys with a small jade Buddha that her mother gave her when she decided to become a detective.
Thanks for checking out our blog! This is a blog about our comic called “The Emerald City”, named after my hometown
A little about our book:
While we really can’t give away too much about the storyline of our book and our world, since this is the opening chapter for the readers to this world we created and so many things play out in the story that we don’t want to ruin the reading experience by giving it all away on a little blog! One thing that needs to be said about this series is there really isn’t a main character, per se. The series is about the events that happen in
One of the questions we are always asked by people when we talk about or show our book off is “What kind of comic is it?” which happens to be a very hard question to answer. It isn’t a true “super-hero” comic, but it is safe to say that it does have some elements of that genre in it. The book focuses on some police detectives in the opening issues so that in turn reads a little like a “police drama” which it also has in it. So it is really hard to say what exactly our comic is! All that we can say is we think there is nothing really like it.
Once we get that first question out of the way, people usually latch on to “super-hero” concept and ask about it. “What kind of powers or people are there in your comic?” This question we could answer easily but it would ruin discovering it by reading the book. I will say this, there is magic in the world that we created and it runs strong in
And about this blog; we are going to use this blog to introduce characters, and the storyline to anybody interested in looking over our work. We do hope you enjoy it. Also Jason or I will update the blog with thoughts about working on the comic and sort of “development blog” or “directors comments” about certain scenes or themes within our comic.
Finally, “who does what?” Jason Sutherland is the artist, he handles pencils, and he inks. Kevin M. Jones (that’s me) handles most of the plotlines and all of the dialogue.
Thanks for taking the time to read and check back shortly for some updates.
