I first met Jeffrey S. Streeter at a
comic convention and was immediately impressed by his preparation for getting
sketches. I’d never seen someone so organized about getting commissions before.
Jeff even has a reference book for artists to use that is complete with
multiple alphabetized variant costumes of each character. As probably the
biggest Titans fan I’ve ever met, Jeff’s collection of original art is beyond
compare. Seriously, I don’t know how he does it, but he gets the most amazing
sketches from artists and he gets them with ease. Maybe it’s because Jeff is such
a naturally likable guy that even someone like me can’t help but become friends
with him. In fact, when I first met
Jeff, I walked away thinking I’ve known him for years.
I quickly realized that’s all
part of Jeff’s evil plan. How else can you believe that the die-hard Titans fan
is also a prominent forensic investigator? Or that he and his partner have
their own company focused on developing creator-owned content for print, stage
and screen? And that the company is (not surprisingly) called Evil Mastermind,
LLC! It all makes sense.
It also made me believe that Jeff
is a creative guy and with his background and credentials, he’d be the perfect mastermind
to write the Agent Huggins story in the second SENTINELS Anthology. As I
mentioned before, Agent Huggins is an important character to me for personal
reasons and I wanted to make sure she was handled by creators who would get her
right. I was very happy when Jeff agreed to write the story and even happier
once I read the script he turned in! In just 10 pages, Jeff was able not only
captured Agent Huggins’ character, but he was able to recapped her entire
history, give her depth by revealing her relationship with other characters (good
and bad) and tell an exciting and interesting story that moves the character
forward. Seriously, I couldn’t ask for a better story for Agent Huggins!
I’m extremely proud of the story
Jeff and Sasha have created for such an important character in the SENTINELS
universe! And I can’t thank them enough for being involved in the book.
