What I’m writing: Flyover City! is a novel told in blog-form. The main character is a 28 year old slacker-type from Denver that would be a bit of a comic book geek in real life. In the world of the story, however, superheroes are real– so Newsweek and Time Magazine feed his fix just fine.
Best references: Pop novels like “Microserfs” and “High Fidelity” are as much of an influence as “Hitchhiker’s Guide” and “Soon I Will Be Invincible”. I SWEAR I had the idea before comics like Astro City, Love Fights, and Marvels came out — but those are good comparisons.
Note: please keep in mind, as far as the writing style is concerned, that it IS written as a blog (and I’d love to have you check out my blog). The entry I’m attaching will hopefully give the readers here a good idea of how the “superhero stuff” plays out against the “regular guy” POV…

Below the fold, I have uploaded Rebecca’s pencils for the five sample pages I’ll be submitting with my comic book script. I really like how they’ve turned out! What do you think? (If you’d like to see the script for these pages, please see this comment).
