Justin Jordan unravels secrets in Deep State

 

Every issue has variants (1:15 or 1:10).

 

I've read the first four. I love this series.

 

To me, some series are thinkers (East of West, Low, etc). Other series are super fun (TWD, Clone, Five Ghosts, etc). This is one of those fun series that only takes me 10 minutes to read.

 

This series looks like a winner.

I liked the first couple issues, need to catch up.

So far I could see it easily being on TV.

[Hurtszick]

I love this series, and well mostly what Justin puts out. There hasn't been much chatter or lift thus far in the value since it's come out so I've quietly been loading up on the first four and variants. Hope I don't need to fire sale them cause this story is great this far.

The writer is the one from The Spread.

I may have to pick these up.

It seems as though Justin Jordan is going to bring two more original series to Boom Studios.

Deep State #5 is another winner.

I have been looking for a good conspiracy theory book (in this case, a conspiracy to hide freak physics and beings -- think X-Files).

 

Hoax Hunters was or is a good conspiracy theory book (HH summary: a group of individuals hide the fact that some hoaxes like Big Foot do in fact exist). The jury is still out on HH now that many changes have occurred.

But, with the way that Deep State's second story arch started, I really think I'm going to enjoy at least one good conspiracy theory book.

hardly any Boom comics do well as speculation comics.....I really liked Higher Earth and it flopped pretty dramatically.

[revivedrevival]

I am confident that a Boom series will rise up and become very successful. It's a matter of time.

Sure the chances are more likely it will be Day Men (co-written by Matt Gagnon) or Lumberjanes (superb appeal for an all ages book). But I really enjoy Justin Jordan's work; I'm hopeful for Deep State.

Deep State has already been picked up by Fox.

Deep State #1 has a print count of less than 10,000.

It's a story similar to X-Files that is slated to be produced by the X-Files supervising producer.

 

There are a few reasons why I think these boards are not what they used to be.

The fact that the Deep State thread hasn't reached page 2 yet only increases my fear of that fact*.

 

I am still learning on these threads. So I'm still here trying to provide my share.

 

 

* I'm not saying that these boards aren't what they used to be because Deep State has little attention. I am just using Deep State as a concrete example which is better than the alternative (referencing a specific book thread or naming boardies who seem to have disappeared).

[Hurtszick]

My only fear is that Fox bought Deep State to protect x-files, and it will never be lost in optioned purgatory.

My only fear is that Fox bought Deep State to protect x-files, and it will never be lost in optioned purgatory.

 

I asked Justin about the option to Fox and he told me that it was all set to go "Live" before Season 10 of X-Files came onto the scene. Fox then decided it was too similar to X-Files that they decided to put Deep State on hold and proceed with X-Files. Asked if this meant that Deep State would remain on the shelf, he told me that they only had the option provided they went to Pilot (within 9 months) at which point he would be able to shop the concept elsewhere. Here's hoping someone else notices this gem and places it onto our screens.

[revivedrevival]

Thanks for the info.

[revivedrevival]

When I first googled the X-Files 10 news, only the X-Files 10 comic came up. And I thought you were trolling.

[Holden Caulfield]

No trolling here...

 

Am wondering how close to the comic the X-files will be though, considering they did get some direction from Chris Carter.

Personally, I'm digging the Deep State series. I'm a old X-Files fan way back from the first episode, and it reminds me a lot of that. I've gotten all of the regular and variant Deep State issues slabbed in 9.8 up to this point. They may never be a huge thing, but I like em and that's all that matters.

[revivedrevival]

Justin Jordan.

[kthuluu]

Yep, he's the man.
