November 04 Reply me back pleaseHow are you doing? I am so sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling to United Kingdom to visit my ill cousin. I am presently in United Kingdom with my ill cousin, whom is a student here. she was diagnosed with a critical uterine fibroid. x ray and scan states that her condition is deteriorating because the fibroid has done a lot of damages to her abdominal area, and an emergency hysterectomy surgery must be carried-out to save her life.
I am deeply sorry for not writing or calling you before leaving,I took first flight to united Kingdom, the news of her illness arrived to me as an emergency and that she needs family support to keep her going. I had little time to prepare or even to inform people about my trip, I hope you understand my plight and pardon me. How are you doing?

I will like you to please assist me with a loan of ($3100) urgently to sort-out my Cousin's bills, the hospital management is demanding for a deposit of (£1800) before they will implement the surgery, i am traveling with few amount of money because I never expected things to be the way it is right now. What scares me the most is that she is going through a lot of pain at the moment and the doctors have advice that, it is necessary that the tumor must be operated soon to avoid anything from going wrong. I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, since i don't know your financial status at the moment. I'll pay back as soon as i return. I'll be pleased to hear from you soon regarding my request. Best Regards Jess September 11 THE SHIELD and INFERNO are burning up the internet!

I know Puyallup is a bit of a drive for even the Seattle folks, but it's all in the name of a good cause.WWW.COMIC-EVOLUTION.COM July 20 HOLY CRAP, DO I HAVE SOME NEWS FOR YOU!I know what you're thinking: "Once again, Jerwa has fallen behind on updating his website, and now he expects us to wade through a whole pile of nonsense that he's accumulated over the last month!" I swear I'm innocent this time! I have two VERY BIG NEWS ITEMS today, but this is all stuff that was announced over this last weekend. This is hot off the proverbial press, folks! Okay, okay. Let's get to it. First off, the movie option for WIDE AWAKE has been purchased by Do-Over Productions. The press release... Do-Over Productions has just announced that they have optioned the film rights to Wide Awake, the extraordinary webcomic written by Eric Trautmann and Brandon Jerwa, with art by Mirco Pierfederici and art direction by David Messina. As described in the press release from Do-Over, Wide Awake is the story of Amanda Carter, a young woman whose dreams of terrifying monsters are much more than just figments of her unconscious mind. If she doesn’t defeat them before she wakes up, the horrors from her dreams get loose in the physical world and she must deal with them there. Trautmann and Jerwa co-created the series which premiered a sample chapter on Free Comic Book Day and was originally scheduled to commence weekly chapters later this summer. This new deal may possibly alter that schedule some. Jarrod Feliciano and Mirjana Novkovic will produce and write the film adaptation. They are repped by attorney Bianca Bezdek-Goodloe. Do-Over Productions is currently in production of the crime drama Fallen Moon, directed by Peter Medak and produced by Feliciano, Novkovic, Valerie McCaffrey, and co-produced by Roger Pugliese. This is pretty big news for us, obviously. We'll be doing some press in the next couple of weeks to discuss this further. In immediate WIDE AWAKE news, Eric and will be signing copies of Popgun Vol. 2 at the Image Comics booth at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 24th from 10:30-11:30 A.M. Our nightmare-plagued heroine Amanda Carter was first introduced in that anthology in a short story called "Behind The Wall Of Sleep." If you're submitting to the madness that is Comic-Con, we sincerely hope you'll make time to come and see us. Now for the OTHER big news: Dynamite Entertainment will be publishing STARGATE comics based on various incarnations of the hit SyFy television franchise, and I'm writing one of the three series. This excerpt from a Newsarama article explains the whole thing far more effectively than I could hope to: “Stargate is truly a crown jewel when it comes to episodic science fiction television,” stated Dynamite President Nick Barrucci. “Just in time for the Stargate Universe series debuting in October, Dynamite will create an adventure series that retailers and fans alike will love. We have three separate launches planned, each designed to focus on the characters and attention coming the way of both the new show and Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis!” Helping bring the world of Stargate to life is a team of top creative talent including: John Watson, whose work has graced Marvel Comics covers as one of the finest painters in the industry. John will be doing his first sequential work EVER in Stargate Universe. Dynamite is also bringing in famed Star Wars painter Dave Dorman as the main cover artist, as well as writers Chuck Dixon (G.I. Joe) with a prequel to Stargate Universe, Doug Murray (Jungle Girl and ‘Nam) with the continuing stories from Stargate Atlantis beginning with Season Six and Brandon Jerwa (Battlestar Galactica) on Stargate SG1 beginning with Season #11. Dynamite will be launching a Stargate #0 bringing three different stories in one event comic for $1.00, to help introduce fans to the Stargate “universe”. I'd say "that's all for now," but jeez - isn't this enough? Besides, I need to go finish doing laundry and packing for San Diego. Hope to see you there, kids! July 07 MAN ON FIRE Brandon Jerwa talks "Inferno" with Newsarama Trautmann and Jerwa on "The Shield" and "Inferno" - Pop Culture Zoo The time has finally come! I'm working in the DC Universe! Eric Trautmann and I are teamed up once again for "The Shield" and "Inferno." Eric's writing the patriotic title character, while I'm handling the incendiary co-feature. Our heroes are a major part of the integration of the Red Circle characters into the DCU, picking up the threads after J. Michael Straczynski's initial launch of the characters in a series of 4 one-shots debuting this August. Our ongoing series will debut in September. In convention news, I will be attending San Diego Comic-Con and have just been confirmed as a guest for Emerald City Comicon 2010. More great news to come...VERY SOON! June 10 ONCE AGAIN, I AM BEHIND ON UPDATESIt’s been a pretty crazy time over here in Brandon-land. Since my last update, I’ve made appearances at the Highlander Worldwide convention in L.A., and the Spokane Comic-Con here in Washington. I’ve also been hard at work writing a few different as-yet-unannounced Secret Projects. Oh, and did I mention that Eric Trautmann and I launched a preview of our new free online comic series, WIDE AWAKE? Like I said: crazy times. “Be careful what you wish for,” isn’t that how the saying goes? I’m here to tell you that it’s true, folks…and I’m loving every minute of it!

New interview at www.generalsjoes.com
Justin Bell is one of a handful of truly active and loyal G.I. Joe fans who take on the serious responsibility of maintaining an insightful web presence for the fans at www.generalsjoes.com – offering toy reviews, editorial articles and much more.
He surprised me recently with a really in-depth set of interview questions, resulting in what may just be my longest interview ever. We discuss my feelings on G.I. Joe in its many forms - comics, toys and movies; past, present and future - and touch on some non-Joe topics as well.
You can read the end result by clicking on the link!
Get To Know Two Guys That I Approve Of
Joe Rybandt (seen here with his two “life partners”) is my editor at Dynamite, and literally one of my favorite people on the planet. If I never write another book for them again as long as I live, I'll be content in the knowledge that I :
1) worked with a great editor who valued and respected my work;
and
2) made a friend for life.
This interview offers some insight into the man, the myth, the miracle...that is...JOE RYBANDT. Check it out.
Andrew Modeen (seen here, shaken but not stirred) was a HUGE help to me in preparing HIGHLANDER ORIGINS: THE KURGAN - he gathered existing media for reference, helped me reconcile timelines throughout history and was a fantastic devil's advocate as things were coming together.
Jen Contino of THE PULSE talks to him about the project, his love of Highlander and his own creative ambitions. Check it out, too!
