Habla jms (en inglés)

[J.J. Cabrejas]

Hola,

Es un poco largo como para traducirlo pero básicamente dice que:

Habiendo solucionado los detalles de B5:TMoS, ahora están en el proceso de
hablar con las personas que participarán en el proyecto y que aún es pronto
para decir algo. Comenta que es un proyecto "grande" y también que hay cosas
nuevas de Babylon 5 en discusión.

Simon & Schuster Books tienen intención de crear una nueva línea editorial
sólo jms, tras publicar una antología de relatos, "Straczynski Unplugged".

Está haciendo dos nuevos cómics para Marvel, además de seguir con Spidey,
Supreme Power y haber entregado ya la miniserie de Doctor Extraño. Además,
ha conseguido Dream Police de Top Cow, que también se publicará.

Y luego comenta una cosilla sobre un acto benéfico cerca de Paterson, su
ciudad natal.

Saludos,
Juanjo
