Have you guys heard of this Superhero?

[SpidEMC]

Well I can finally say that Knight Seeker 2 Crimes of Passion will be ready for private release by the end of JUNE.

This was a long labor of joy and I can appreciate this book to the highest degree. I would even say it is better than the first book of Knight Seeker, and more emotional. Also as something to add to this novel there are 12 artists that worked with me to produce chapter artwork, so in essence this is a Caption Novel. This is a new form of media that I will be doing from here on out for all the novels that I work with. I will also be heading up a panel at Wizard World Philly June 19th Friday 2pm-3pm Media room 201-B, talking about Caption Novels. Its cool that now the industry is starting to see Knight Seeker finally making a move. I was not ready to do a media splash till the second book was ready to go on the market. This is a per-media for things to follow from Seeker Entertainment.

If any of you would like to order from 50 of the First Run of books please contact me ( [email protected] ). I am only numbering the First Run. And I will supply you with the paypal or mailing address. The second book is 20 dollars and this includes shipping. If you need that first book it will be 17 dollars which includes shipping. Everything will be signed and dated. **Please note you can still get the first book from a book store or on line, anyone going to the book store, it will be a special order.**

Also If you need both books I will knock off Five bucks for a limited time. Which brings your total with shipping of both books to 32 dollars.

The second book will not be on the Market til Mid Summer, so the second book for the time being will only be privately sold through me.

For more information on what me and my artists have put together please go here. www.KnightSeeker.com
Thank you for your time and attention. This is something that will impact the industry for years to come, and yes this superhero is worthy of a good shot in the stagnating industry.

Thrust into a violent situation, Knight Seeker becomes a wanted criminal in league with two powerful mutants. One of the mutants is an exiled Roman Catholic Priest trying to reconnect with his past; the other is a jewelry thief intent on stealing a mysterious and highly coveted religious artifact. Chased by United States Marshals and a high-tech enforcement group, they run throughout the city to avoid being captured dead or alive. As gang violence and the mutant threat tear the city apart, the New York Police Department tries to keep the peace while Knight Seeker desperately attempts to clear his name.

(Superhero Fantasy Text Novel, Not A Graphic Novel) This is the first story of a very unique and different style of super hero. Nygel Spinner lived a normal life as a college student, until one fateful night he became something more than human. With advanced technology and superhuman abilities he suddenly became the ultimate hunter. As Nygel tries to balance his normal life with the dangers of being Knight Seeker, evil forces are at work attempting to dominate the world of the living. Join Knight Seeker as he battles Warlord Sage, a demon bent on opening the gates of hell and unleashing doom for all mankind.

 

[Eric Brooks]

No.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Me either.

Doesn't sound like something I'd be into, but good luck to you.

 

[SpidEMC]

Eric, eventually you will know more about Knight Seeker.

Jay in time you may come to appreciate the character. But thank you for not slamming the character. It took a lot of hard work to come this far with him.

 

[Roughneck]

Wow....You kind of make me want to slam the character. lol.

No, as the other guys mentioned, I have not heard of KnightSeeker, but I looked into it, I checked everything out on your website and whatnot.

I appreciate all of the work you'd have had to put into it to get to this point, and how close this project must be to you, it truly is a labor or love.

But I just don't want to read another story about a black super hero in the Cosby community (That meaning how everyone around him is inexplicably African American) But I am not knocking anything here, just saying.

I also love the logo on Knight Seeker.....maybe I'm just seeing it wrong, but I love how the right half of the K also forms the S......if that is what I'm seeing....very clever.

So as I said, it's something I looked into, and appreciate the work and effort you put into this, it's just not something for me or my tastes. What I don't like it how you come in here and respond to Erik Brooks, who simply said "no" by telling him that he will know more about Knight Seeker. Like you assume it's going to be the next big thing....well a lot of folks thought they had the next big thing and didn't.

So please, three things. Keep reality in mind, don't get cocky and keep up the good work.

Best of luck to you SpidEMC.

"But I just don't want to read another story about a black super hero in the Cosby community (That meaning how everyone around him is inexplicably African American) But I am not knocking anything here, just saying."

Hello Roughneck: I will point out to you that this is not a black driven book, this is a multi ethnic book, and just because I am a black person doesn't mean that the world within Knight Seeker is 90% black and a few token-ed charcters. This is based on a real world prospective, so all of the races are involved. That is what makes my writing style very different.

Thank you for telling me to keep within reality, but I already knew that from the get-go. I can stand fully on my work, and I know that it will go into the history books because it has a wide appeal and it is a story to be told unlike many others. People from different countries write to me after reading the book that was recommended by others, and say wow what a great range of characters, and they are very surprised that I am a black writer.

The logo thing was actually a mistake that was made, and as they say mistakes are some of the best experiences in the creation process.

Well I hope I have cleared a few things up for you and any others that have come to this posting.

Oh and I wanted to thank you for posting and taking that time to go to my site and look things over. Atleast you know that what I have done is not a fly by night, and yes I have a true conviction to my work, and the artists and editors that I work with.

 

[kow626]

never heard of or read anything regarding that character, but mad props 2 u for making it happen and fulfilling your goals.

i would recommend cleaning up that website though. make it easier to navigate, more user friendly and more visually appealing. a category tree would help rather than lumping everything on the home page.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i, like roughneck find you overly cocky... you are not the next big thing (its EXTREMELY EXTREMELY rare for any indie comic to be these days, ESPECIALLY Indie comic novels. I welcome success your way, but success has different levels... and yours is still rather extremely low compared to say that of most comic heroes.

 

[Roughneck]

i like roughneck.

Awww, I'm blushing.

 

[SpidEMC]

Hey I welcome the challenges, they makes a person stronger or breaks them. Thank you for the face slapping. My face has grown more tough through the years!!! I welcome the abuse.

But seriously if you don't believe in your product you should not say anything about it, and I am bold enough to talk about what I have done. It seperates me from many that want to try a hand in the industy. But trying and doing are two different things. I have put forth my effort, and I will not be stopped, God willing.

And Kow626, I am not ready for a full makeover in the site. Maybe towards the summer I will have someone revamp it, but thank you for your input, (positive or negitive) it is always appreciated.

Still receiving emails since I made the FRONT PAGE of Trenton Times June 15th Monday, in the New Jersey state. I was interviewed after doing a book signing in Trenton, so the newspaper felt it was worthy of a front page article.
Anytime a black person is featured on a front page article its normally a negitive subject in my area, thankfully this is a positive one.

But anyway on to more fun!!

Speaking of which, we need more Hispanic, Polynesian, and generally just more Asian superheroes. I feel that most people of said races are more or less alienated when it comes to the superhero genre, and how they're practically non-existent [especially Polynesian]. Especially in X-Men, something that glorifies diversity and its messages against bigotry, is still lacking in the race department.

I digress...

I will be tackling more ethnic diversity in my writing, but if you have an idea you want to run by me Ryo Jin, please PM me and we can talk about it.

And Wizard World all the artists had a good time in Philly, and Ray Park aka (Snake Eyes) G.I. Joe, aka Darth Maul aka (Toad) X-Men, and his family are big Knight Seeker fans. They have been following my steps for 4 years now. Me and the artists from the book had a chance to hang out with him during the convention.

 

[Roughneck]

Spider-man 2099 was hispanic......

What we need are more Canadian Superheroes that are A) Based in Canada or B) Not blatantly Canadian Stereotypes.....eh?

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I think Northstar is you're best, and most un-stereotypical canadian.

 

[SpidEMC]

I thought the subject that came up was ethnic Diversity, or Race I should say from Ryo Jin's posting. In other words different tones of skin and cultural back grounds.

 

[Roughneck]

Canada is a way different cultural background then the USA.....and most of the time we're depicted very inaccurately

 

[Ryo Jin]

As are the rarely depicted races on the other side of the world. Name me one Hawaiian/Polynesian/Pacific Islander superhero from Marvel OR DC. I honestly don't know of any. All Oriental/Asian characters in the Marvel universe are pretty much villains, with stereotypical agendas/personalities.

I'd be glad to. Growing up around the world, and now working around the world, it still troubles me to see how ignorant the media is of fairly common races that I've met everywhere. Indian, Samoan, Hawaiian, Korean, Japanese, why are they still ignored so much when it comes to movies, games and comics in North America, the melting pot of the world?

Growing up I felt somewhat alienated BECAUSE there was no Asian superheroes to look up to, only villains and stereotypes in a bad light and usually as second/third rate characters. This is continuing even to this day. It's why Wolverine and Batman are my favorites, because as stand alone characters they are the most diverse, and I could relate to them the most growing up and even now. We're in the 21st Century for crying out loud! I may be only half Asian, but I'm all American and I'm apart of the culture too!

 

[Roughneck]

they Say Spider-man is supposed to be more relatable to minorities as he is covered from head to toe....so even though he is white, he could be anything under there....


Also: Sunfire, Sunpyre, Dr Light......wow....I thought more would come to mind......uh....Big Hero Six.....Collective man...

That's what's sad, but true.

Yeah, ask any 6-year old who they are. Even Sunfire wasn't all that great, and I don't even know the others you listed. Only Dr. Light I know of is from Mega Man/Rockman.

Are any of them Hawaiian/Samoan? Are there any at all? One chance for Marvel to have a mutant from Hawaii, but they make it Havok? Pshh.

 

[Roughneck]

even the Initiative's Hawaii team didn't have a hawaiiian..

And Dr Light is a villain in DC....he raped SUE Dibney then they wiped his memory.....anyway, at some point in time there was a female Dr Light and she was a her and I think she was asian.

 

[Ryo Jin]

See? Always a villain most of the time. Anyway, yeah, I remember Dr. Light now from Teen Titans and that said storyline.

 

[Roughneck]

Also Shang Chi and Wong

 

[Ryo Jin]

Also Shang Chi and Wong

Wong was more or less a side kick to Dr. Strange.

Shang Chi was a lead sure, but he was definitely the most stereotypical Asian character from Marvel at the same time! Not only that, but when was the last time we saw him anyway? He's been more ignored than even Blade and Moon Knight.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

don't forget cho from Incredible Hercules he rocks
