Comics writer and illustrator Jeffrey Weigel talks about his new YA space adventure graphic novel from Lion Forge Comics, Quantum Mechanics, as well as his story process, his art process and more.
“Lando’s Luck” is a fun adventure that highlight’s Lando’s charm A Star Wars Lando Calrissian (Captain) and L3-37 (First Mate / Navigator) story.
Often with novels that lose the reader’s interest there seem to be filler chapters or sections that added way too much detail about a plot point or go through every rivet detailing a ship. I was surprised to find that there were no filler chapters and the characters were well thought out and described in just enough detail so as to see them in your mind’s eye
“Quantum Mechanics” is a fast, fun space opera adventure
I am a sucker for a space opera, same as for a good Western. The argument can be made that those are two sides of the same coin, and I can go along with that, too. So when I find a fun space opera, be it television, film, or graphic novels, a story or group of characters that hook me, it’s easy to fall in love with them.
