Seems like there's more potential for stuff like Ab Ovo, eh?

NOT WORK FOR 'HIRE'

Back in March, a team of comic book professionals, Greg Scott, JF Mettler, Tony Harris, Jason Henderson and Churl Yo, decided to leave their Big Four assignments for a while and pitched a comic book series to BMW, based on their series of short films "The Hire." Each film shows a nameless, history-less driver take a short job in a story that always ends with a twist.

BMW's agency seemed interested in co-operating with such a venture. And so the team set about creating proposals, with many pages of drawn, coloured and lettered art. There were many meetings where the process of putting together comics were discussed, as well as budgeting and distribution. Meetings with Diamond were arranged between all three parties continued for quite a while.

In fact BMW's agency decided that it was such a good idea, that they dropped the team of creators and went to Dark Horse. Look forward to Dark Horse's "The Hire" later this year. Just without a certain team of people who put in the time, money and effort to get it off the ground.
