Glyph Award Winning and Eisner Award nominated publisher New Paradigm Studios has announced a new YA title releasing this winter, Werewoofs.
In the small Midwestern town of Howlett, navigating high school is tough enough. But when a group of friends are inexplicably turned into weredogs, adapting to their new powers proves to be even tougher. This leads to an unlikely friendship with loner Mara, a werewolf whose father has mysteriously vanished. As the high schoolers team up to solve the disappearance, friendships are tested, and secrets are revealed as the Werewoofs prove themselves in an explosive showdown against a dangerous wolfpack and their vicious alpha.
Werewoofs is written by Joelle Sellner, with art by Val Wise, lettering by Ed Dukeshire, and edited by Steenz.

Description: | Short. Meaningful. Memorable. How do you write great dialogue? What works and what doesn't work? Harrison Ford once said to George Lucas, "You can type this shit but you can't say it." Writers from animation and comics talk about how you craft a great line. A great story won't survive if the characters sound stiff and unnatural. They only truly come alive when they talk to us. So how do you make your characters sound real? And what's the difference between writing dialogue that's dramatic and dialogue that's funny? |

From the Article:
"Superslackers" follows a group of friends who get a bag of pot that has been switched with a drug being used in a government experiment that gives them superpowers. When a Professor Xavier-type shows up to train them, they have no interest in saving the world. They agree to move into a rent-free government compound, but all they want to do is watch TV and play video games. The Professor is convinced he can turn them into the heroes that the world needs - but can he do it before their infectious laziness spreads to the rest of the agents?
Seasoned animation writer Joelle Sellner ("Sonic Boom") wrote the script for "Superslackers," which hails from executive producers Warren Zide ("American Pie"), Mickey Gooch ("Skit Bags"), Ranajit Chaudhury and Ashwant Venkatram. David Silverman, a key creative figure on "The Simpsons," has signed on to direct.
