Imagine the future of this country where corporations have usurped control of the states; where corporate mercenary war fallout has left humanity rampant with genetic mutation; AND, where your TV remote has an on/off button, volume control, and only ONE channel… because you only NEED one channel for the craze that’s sweeping the nation: the RACE!
This is the world of REVVVelations. Enter Moose and Essie, our fearless guerilla TV broadcasters – chased by FCC agents into the CoorGen Mountain Regional Race. These two archrivals are forced to put their social and professional differences behind them and join forces, battling their personal ghosts, to stay alive -- but more importantly -- professionally viable in their quest to deliver REAL news!
REVVVelations is an action adventure jam packed with humor, reliousity, romantic tension, and mutant disfigurations. Oh, and YES, there is cannibalism, but it’s really not polite to talk about, even though everyone knows it happens.
Coming Friday December 1st, 2006!

Kind of in the vain of Fredrick Pohl's Venus Inc. i.e. Space Merchants?http://anitraweb.org/books/activist/spacemerchants.html
I hadn't read this before, but looking through the synopsis in the link you provided me, it may not be so far off:
"In 1983, Frederick Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth wrote a science fiction novel in which great multi-national advertising companies have replaced government and most other social institutions. Advertising is the media and the media is advertising: the songs people hum on the streets are ad jingles. "News reports" are straight propaganda and sales messages, and few people stop to analyze them. Corporations take over the personal loyalties that used to go to churches, clubs, clans, or sports teams: most people graduate from school into a corporate job and stay with the same corporation until death. Corporate wars are passionate and very physical -- there may be shootouts on the company steps."
The world of REVVVelations isn't strictly as described, but not too far off. Corporate wars in our world aren't necessarily a subtle as "shootouts on the company steps", but that will likely be fleshed out more in a much, much later chapter beyond the CoorGen Regionals. Look for more about that during the Nationals.
Honestly, both of our influences on this story come from movies moreso. Jolyon was definitely inspired by Deathrace 2000. I was inspired by Mad Max and Cannonball Run. Someone on another message board said it really harkened of Max Headroom, which I actually agree with quite a bit... I think some of that subconsciously seeped into my writing, as I was a big Max Headroom fan back in the day.

true, aside from DeathRace 2000 and Mad Max this also reminds me of the RPG/board game 'Car Wars*,' elements from Franks Miller's 'Give Me Liberty,' and Neal Stephenson's book 'Snow Crash.'
sorry, i hate it when people bring up parallels to my own stuff. :)
but still, i LOVE this type of stuff and am psyched to see another variation on the theme. i'm eager to see what you've got so far.

Joe, I'm glad you'll be a part of the quickly-growing fanbase for this strip. I know that others will see it as derivative of other things, but I DO hope we bring a unique twist to it all. Jolyon came up with the concept having seen many of these movies, and I've been writing the script without the benefit of seeing Death Race 2000 or some of the other things you mentioned. I actually just borrowed the Death Race 2000 DVD from Jolyon and saw it last night -- hilarious! Oh, and I played Car Wars ONCE in high school.
Enjoy! -- Please feel free to chime in with comments whenever you like.

Started on page 1 and went right on through to the last one. I really like this, and I like where it's going. And despite what Essie used to be, yeah, I'd hit that.
At what point did you decide to collect The Wang: Who's Your Daddy in GN form? Did you always intend to do it that way, or did you see the opportunity and take it?
I'm enjoying Revvvalations. It's really showing your growth as a writer, and Yates' pencils are quite complementary to this story. I particularly liked the sign on page 46: "Trespassers will be eten."
Why did it end up the way it did on the page, with tresspassers being split up, and eten being misspelled? Was it by accident or to show how intellectually impaired certain parts of that culture might be?
Squid Works

I'm really glad you're enjoying it! This is definitely a challenge for me, as this is the first time that I've attempted to write an action/adventure.
As far as "The Wang: Who's Your Daddy?" is concerned, it was always going to be a GN. I started off with serializing the ashcans for "The Wang: The BIG One" and noticed that folks that were buying the first issue at conventions were coming back to buy all of the rest, so initially in talking with Diamond, I was going to serialize it. But, after getting printing quotes and having my brand manager tell me that they would only carry the TPB and not the individual issues, I decided to go straight to the GN with Quebecor. So, when it came to work on the sequel, I didn't even consider the pamphlet installments.
"Tress passers Will Be Eten" - Jolyon gets credit for that one. He's brilliant with that stuff. I'm always impressed with how he interprets my script and the little details he chooses to include. Where he comes up with this stuff? Who knows, but this project is his little brainchild, so he knows where he originally wanted this to go. I just had the pleasure of taking his concept and developing a script out of it. Although, showing how intellectually impaired MOST of culture might be was definitely something we were trying to show throughout the story.
Yes, Essie IS quite a hottie. Spread the gospel, brother!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with REVVVelations:
REVVVelations (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/StanYan/revvvelations/series.php) - Written and Colored by Stan Yan, Illustrated by Jolyon Yates (http://www.aesthesiaweb.com/Jolyon_Yates.htm)
Imagine the future of this country where corporations have usurped control of the states; where corporate mercenary war fallout has left humanity rampant with genetic mutation; AND, where your TV remote has an on/off button, volume control, and only ONE channel because you only NEED one channel for the craze thats sweeping the nation: the RACE!
This is the world of REVVVelations (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/StanYan/revvvelations/series.php). Enter Moose and Essie, our fearless guerilla TV broadcasters chased by FCC agents into the CoorGen Mountain Regional Race. These two archrivals are forced to put their social and professional differences behind them and join forces, battling their personal ghosts, to stay alive -- but more importantly -- professionally viable in their quest to deliver REAL news!
REVVVelations (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/StanYan/revvvelations/series.php) is an action adventure jam packed with humor, reliousity, romantic tension, and mutant disfigurations. Oh, and YES, there is cannibalism, but it's really not polite to talk about, even though everyone knows it happens. [Recommended for Mature Readers]

Also, apologies for those of you who have been following The Pre-History of the Wang (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/StanYan/prewang/series.php), but I've been swamped, and haven't had a chance to color any new pages for the last couple of weeks.

i must say, this thread continually 'gets me'. I think it is about the wonderful Dark Horse comic by Ramos and Jenkins, then I remember it's nothing like that.
But good luck to you all! ;)

Thanks so much! I hope you continue to follow the story as it unfolds.
Yeah, it's hard to find an original title, but we just couldn't pass up the puntastic opporutnity to use "REVVVelations"... so hopefully those extra two "V's" distinguish us enough in the minds of folks that are familiar with the Dark Horse title.
