Recently I've been planning another graphic novel that isn't the Duck Bros - characters and plotlines, but before I can work on this I gotta finish up the antics of them ducks (and undies). Either way, I might share the concept with you guys:
It's called "The God-Child". Taking place in the fictious Wyoming town of Hogsteer the years of 1983, 1986 and 1990, the plot deals with the Corizatos, an extremely violent family and gang of mafiosos reeling from the death of Giovanni Corizato, who was shot by a unknown assailant during a botched escape at a courthouse, and as a result several rival gangs have took over his property. Before his death, he chose one of his youngest sons – an adopted lazy 18-year old spoiled with computer games, pornography and drugs named Jensen Corizato. On the day he’s sworn in, former consigliere Edgar Lauren tells him that to restore honor and dignity to the Corizatos, the yakuza, white supremacist and outlaw biker gangs have to be wiped out from the face of Hogsteer. In Jensen’s case, this is getting in the way of his TRS-80 time.
The God-Child serves as a surreal parody of crime films complete with heaping amounts of black humor, satire and violent slapstick. The God-Child also shows incredible detail to the times with accurate portrayals of the weapons, philosophies, technology and politics at the time – for example, there are references to films such as “The Day After” and depictions of guns like the “HK CAWS” assault rifle.
This too ain't for the kiddies either - in fact, it's a lot more raw than The Duck Brothers. 18 years or older in fact because there are graphic scenes of strong violence and gore in a slapstick sense, pervasive profanity including racial slurs and sexually-charged terms, drug use and references, strong sexual content and nudity and mature themes, albeit in a comical sense.
The series consists of three graphic novels:
The God-Child: Devil’s Child (first)
The God-Child: My Last Words (second)
The God-Child: To Live is To Die (last)
If anything, I might pitch this and the Duck Brothers to Image Comics. As much as I like Seven Seas or Yen Press, they definitely do not fit in either of those.
