Wow, it's been a while!

Sorry about the looooong lag time in between updates, people. Life's been hectic, and unfortunately, Bounty Hunter got put to the side for a bit. Good news is, I'm back working on it again. Still hoping to get the Zero issue out before or at the same time as War of the Independents #1. Although.....

...I've done a little restructuring with my planned release schedule. Since the Zero issue doesn't really feature Bounty Hunter in costume very much, being the origin story and all, I've decided to have him appear in a team-up book with two other indie characters first. The characters are Chris McQuaid's Celtic Shaman, and Scott Claringbold and Marc Olivent's Rabid. We're working on the script right now.

And for people who think I've gotten nothing accomplished at all, there is a ten page back-up story for a future issue of Bounty Hunter already in the can, featuring Rabid. Here's a page the final page for you to peek at.

That's Rabid, Bounty Hunter and Golden Age classic, the Skyman. Wheeeeeeee! The story itself is by Scott and Marc, with the last two pages scripted by myself and Marc. Marc did the art for the story.

I have also started work on a short novel chronicling the adventures of Bounty Hunter before he gets the superpowers, called Darren Walters: Bounty Hunter The Super-Hero Killings, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Anyway, that's it for now. Hopefully the next update will come a lot faster then this one did.

Check out this picture by the Living Corpse's Buz Hasson. Place your bets, people.

Some news

2008-06-18T06:28:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a while since I had anything to post, but finally something has happened worth sharing.

Another one of the characters from Bounty Hunter will be appearing in one of the War of the Independents' tie-in books. The below in italics is taken from Peter Palmiotti's MySpace blog.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I'm really excited about this. Especially since I'm a big fan of Atomic Robo. I'm also trying to help get a few more characters for the book (give Pete and the others a bit more time to actually work on the book). So far I've contacted Martheus Wade (Jetta) about his Turra- Gun Angel character, Scott Claringbold for his Rabid character, and Capture Comics' very own Chris Jones about his Fusion character (mentioned on here before as the Fortune and Glory Kid). I even went out on a limb and e-mailed Robert Kirkman about the possibility of him lending out Invincible or his Wolf-Man character, although I'll be muchly surprised if that one happens. LOL!

Anyway, I'll be sure to keep you updated on who gets in and who doesn't.

Here it is, a day late. Enjoy. Send any comments to seankoury@mail.com.

Get ready for the Zero issue!!!

Just a quick peek!

Yeah, I was supposed to have the five page web story posted on Friday the 18th, but I'm too darn picky sometime, so I delayed the whole thing. So now I'm shooting for next Friday, April 25th.

Just to hold you over, here's page one of the strip. There are still some typos and stuff to be fixed on this page, but you'll get the general idea.

Let me know what you think. After reading that, you may not want to read anymore. lol

New WoTI Bounty Hunter Banner

2008-03-20T11:52:00.001-07:00

Thanks to Joel Danford over at the Saga of Bluewing for slapping this together for me, and thanks to Dave Ryan for posting it so quickly on his WoTI website over at Comic Space.

The ball is rolling now, folks!

Bounty Hunter goes to War!

2008-03-09T06:34:00.000-07:00

Why is the War of the Independents banner being posted, you ask? Well, because, as of yesterday, Bounty Hunter is going to War. That's right, I talked to series creator Dave Ryan yesterday and he has agreed to pencil Bounty Hunter into the series somewhere.

It'll just be a cameo, but that's good enough for me. It's all I wanted in the first place.

I'll keep everyone well informed, trust me. (well, on stuff I'm allowed to talk about, of course.)

New pic today.

Here is another character Gus did. This one is based off my designs. You can click on this one to enlarge it.

Hopefully, I'll have the cover for issue #0 posted soon. Along with a few other goodies.

Welcome to Capture Comics!

Hi, everybody, Sean Koury here. I am the creator of the comic character, Bounty Hunter and the world BH inhabits. Welcome to Capture Comics on the 'net. I'm hoping to have an Official website up for my first venture into the world of self-publishing, Bounty Hunter ©, sometime closer to the actual release date of #0. Whenever that may be. I will let you know that I hope it will be sometime during Summer 2008. In the meantime, I will post updates about the series and any other thing about the series I can think of here. That will include photos, cover scans, team-up news, etc and etc.

Anyone stumbling across this blogsite by pure happenstance might be wondering what Bounty Hunter is about. Well, the storyline itself is Ultra Top Secret (shhhhh) at the moment, but in general....just think "Dungeons and Dragons meets the real world. With super-heroes." The series itself is planned to be the #0 issue, followed by a 6 issue limited series. After that I plan to switch over to novel format for a trilogy of stories, with maybe a one-shot comic here and there. I also want to expand out into audio dramas at some point, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

As for actual work on the #0 issue? Well after the setback of my first artist moving out of town and taking the artwork with him, I've had to start over. Luckily, it only took me one day to find a replacement. I don't know if that's some kind of record on the indie business, but I'm counting myself lucky. The artist I signed is named Gustavo Magalhaes and he is a 19 year old currently residing in Brazil. I will post one of his character sketches from Bounty Hunter below.

And for all the people (all 2 of you lol) out there wondering if Bounty Hunter will be turning up in Dave Ryan's War of the Independents, all I can say is STAY TUNED. Alright, the truth is, I have no idea. You'll all be the first to know (after me). Dave's a busy guy. :)

In the meantime, take a gander at some of the fine stuff being put out by the guys I have linked. The Wraith, Axiom-Man, and Bluewing all have some pretty well put together storylines for you to enjoy, in both comic book and novel formats. So head on over to their sites and plunk down some cash. You won't be disappointed.

I'll try to get some more pics up soon. Gus is busy working on a number of different things for me right now. Yeah, I'm running the poor guy ragged.

And thanks to Chris Jones at Blackwood Studio for the nifty Bounty Hunter logo above. It's the title logo for the comic itself. If you'd like Chris to do some graphic designs for you, Click Here to e-mail him.
