SO Excited To Finally Reveal My Cover For The Graphic Novel Continuation Of Danny Phantom-- A Glitch

SO excited to finally reveal my cover for the graphic novel continuation of Danny Phantom-- A Glitch in Time!

This is an all new story taking place after Phantom Planet, featuring the long-awaited return of Dark Danny. To be released July 2023 by Abrams Books.

Story and illustrations by me, with color and layout by the amazing Killian Ng!

Pre-orders are now up!

I can't edit in comments so I better post it like this lol English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes

@im-totally-not-an-alien-2

Danny is happy. You can finally sleep! No ghosts to bother him unless he wants to (his obsession is protection (and space) after all! How will he protect someone if there's no one to cause trouble?)

So Danny is less paranoid than usual when he meets him.

He feels like a ghost but it's not. He feels like the same Danny but different, very different, so he goes and says hello because Danny is just that curious.

The man introduces himself as Jason.

(Wayne's second son was dead. How was Danny to know that this Jason and that Jason were the same person?)

Sam had convinced him to go to this charity gala the Wayne family was hosting so she wouldn't have to be alone with her parents. It really wasn't that bad when you had someone to talk to who wasn't a rich snob, so Sam was always ecstatic whenever he agreed to come. Danny himself was feeling a bit overprotective of Sam who was just excited to see the city. Gotham was great for its gothic ascetic but Danny feared any number of crooks and creeps might try to take advantage of a rich tourist.

It was once they were at the gala that the trouble began. First of all, Dannys red string of fate pulled taught, signaling that his soulmate was near. Danny had been startled by it and turned invisible on reflex. Thankfully no one noticed. But just the though of his soulmate potentially being a rich snob ruined his mood. Soulmates didn't always get along after all and Danny didn't want to get stuck in a toxic relationship due to social pressures, so he decided just to stay invisible.

Meanwhile, whichever batfamily member you decide to ship Danny with noticed their string pull taught and informed the group chat so that they could begin looking for thier other half. They unfortunately, never found them.

Danny and Sam start quietly freaking out when they realize Dannys string is leading directly to the finger of one of the Wayne family. The princes and princesses of Gotham, who, to Dannys horror, was rumored to fund Batman and his endeavors. This was bad. Very bad. The bat family were known as the world's greatest detectives and could find anything/anyone.

Danny and his friends had done everything in thier power to keep what was happening in Amity Park hidden from the world. The Ghost Zone was a wonderful place of magic, mystery and extreem danger-even to its own inhabitants. It was a place where you could not only travel between dimensions and realities, but could access the entirety of the omniverse. There were so many artifacts of great might and secrets never ment for mortals to bare. If Batman did find any useful info it would likely be stored on a "Secure" computer where the information would be vulnerable to anyone who managed to steal- or ancients forbid- sell it.

More than anything the GZ was a place with a lot of power. Power that would be abused.

The entirety of the Ghost Zone would be in danger if Batmans clan came sniffing around to uncover things they shouldn't and Danny doubts they would listen to reason. They've never really seemed the type to turn away an intriguing case. So Danny stayed hidden.

The batclan wouldn't let it stay that way and a few weeks later, Danny saw his first bat in Amity Park.

Edit: I forgot to mention this but they checked the guest list and compared it to other galas and stuff to see which people didn't give the string that reaction and narrowed down the suspects. They then send the bat in question to get near to them until they eventually narrow it down to Sam and her "guest".

Only problem is that the only person in Sams life that matched the description from the cameras and witnesses was a boy who went missing when he was 15 and never found.

Also, what tf is happening in Amity Park?!?!

Audio processing issues plus living near the sea I think make me immune from cosmic horror cause sometimes the gulls sound slightly too much like women and I'm just walking to my bus like yeah yeah the all encompassing shrieks of human suffering coming from the sky we've all heard it. Do I have time to buy coffee before work.

Fic authors deserve more credit.

Story time: I started a book about 23 hours ago and just finished it. Also in that time I slept for 10 hours, spent time with family, was at work, etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the book (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). But it felt like it flew by, so after I finished I looked up the word count because what are pages? Pages are meaningless. I only function in word counts anymore.

The estimate I found was 58,580. My immediate reaction was “oh, that’s why. That’s nothing!” But what a shitty response. Because no. That’s not nothing. That’s a whole. Damn. Book. An entire novel! And Fic authors regularly bust out 30k, 50k, 100k, 150k words. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE. WHILE WORKING AND LIVING THEIR LIVES.

So anyway, thank your favorite fic author today because they deserve it. Because they’re amazing. They’re the MVPs.

You ever think about how Kaito in fanon tends to be portrayed as a bit of a narcissist who would absolutely call his reflection a handsome devil, but manga Kaito only seems to show pride in his skill and not his looks, and could potentially get a little tense as seeing himself unexpectedly because he had a robot with his face get close to killing him.

(Or we have the 1412 anime, where anytime we see a reflection, Kaito is seeing his dad or Kid and not really himself.)
