(How to start, how to start…

OK.)

Hey there, Zeros 2 Heroes. You’re looking might fine today–have you been working out?

(No, too needy. (I’m a Gemini, by the way.))

Holy Moley, it’s Zeros 2 Heroes’ newest editor Andrew Foley!

(Well, hell, if I’m going to rhyme I ought to be able to do better than that. Let’s see…)

There once was an editor named Foley,
Whose shape varied from roly to poly,
Z2H gave him a job,
That lucky fat slob,
If Black Jack’s bad it’s his fault solely…

(No, that’s not right. If BJO does end up being anything less than great, the editor should take the blame, just as if it’s the most amazing comic ever, the credit must go entirely to the creators, but it’s not TOTALLY on my shoulders…)

Hi there. Andrew Foley, the latest addition to Z2H’s editorial team, here. In addition to helping make DocNaberius’ BLACK JACK O’BREEN and Ruroshen’s NOVEMBER’S SONG’s first issues as great as I can, I’m also obligated to write an editorial blog. Which is problematic, as anyone who’s read my previous Z2H blog postings knows, I’m not big on posting and never know what to say…

(Will everyone see the irony in that? I mean, how many of them could actually have struggled through one of your Oddyssey-length blog posts? Who’s got that kind of time or masochistic streak, really? Wait, wait, I’ve got it!)

This is your humble correspondent, Andrew Foley, reporting live via blog from the front lines of the Zeros 2 Heroes creative process. It’s been an exciting couple of weeks here in No Man’s Only Editors’ Land, with your intrepid reporter landing two plum editing assignments in the form of the Fairytale Shoot-em-up BLACK JACK O’BREEN and the wildly funny superhero comic NOVEMBER’S SONG. I’ll be holding my position here in the thick of things, making regular dispatches for as long as I’m able…

(Sure, Foley. Why not start with that, it’s not like they don’t already know you’re a huge flake…No, no, chin up, chest out. You’re an Official Zeros 2 Heroes Editor now. Time to start acting like it! You can do this! You can write a simple introduction!

…

…

OK, maybe you can’t. My God, you’re a loser.

…

All right. How about this: take all of your aborted intros, make snarky remarks after each one, and get the basic point across while maintaining a safe ironic distance so nobody can tell you’re jumping up and down like an ADHD teenager on a suger high over coming on board Team Heroes.

No. That’s just stupid.

Sleep on it. I’m sure you’ll come up with something better by tomorrow.)
