Matt Brady makes comics debut

Former Newsarama journalist Matt Brady is to make his comics writing debut.

Brady - who stepped down as editor of the site last year - has joined forces with Newsarama columnist Troy Brownfield to pen Dynamite Entertainment's Buck Rogers Annual #1.

He told Newsarama about how his earlier aspirations to write comics and how they were submerged by his reporting duties.

"I've got notebooks and notebooks of ideas, but you nailed it - as Newsarama got bigger and bigger, and especially for that period when I was running the whole works, there was no time, not to mention it would have been a huge conflict of interests to be trying to get into comics when I had, in some respects, control of any given writer, artist or editor's visibility."

Since retiring as editor, Brady has been teaching and found time to re-dedicate himself to writing comics.

Illustrated by Carlos Rafael, Buck Rogers Annual #1 will be released in March.
