You can read about it here!

As you can see I'm in some pretty illustrious company too!

How this affect you, the reader?  It won't.  Paranoid Mage will continue and complete as usual, but sometime in the future it will also be available in a visual format, and isn't that neat?

Although I guess it means we'll have to actually see Callum's face...

Funny re: his face - I had initially thought it was obscured by a scotoma in reference to his headaches.

Adam Boshcoff

Super cool!!! How much input as the author will you have on the character designs (if any)? Will you get to approve them or will it be a surprise for you like the rest of us?

Reno

Congrats!

Skchoad

Congratulations. Hope this turns into everything you hope for.

lootgobblin

Congrats! Can’t wait for how it will turn out!

Tanner Lovelace

This is the second announcement I’ve seen today on Patreon accounts I follow to announce something like this. I guess Webtoon is expanding rapidly?

Bunny Waffles

Don't be so pessimistic! They can just blur his face whenever he isn't in disguise! Keep that mystery alive!

Noldere

I mean, they could get good artists and manage to never actually show his face, but it's a webtoon company, so... I'll wait and (let others) see.

Pyrefiend

I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

I can’t tell what would be weirder seeing his face or it just being cut off for 5 books worth of a comic

Jim

I think paranoid mage is a perfect story for graphic novelization. I can picture so many of the scenes in my head played out via comic panels.

Jim

I'm okay with seeing Callum's face. I think the whole portal face cover thing is cool for the book covers, but it would throw off a graphic novel's cinematography since it's not a thing he really does at all in the story. I think if you really wanted to take his face out of frame, it would mostly be appropriate for alternate POVs when they're discussing or communicating with The Ghost.

Congratulations! I’d rather it was a Netflix miniseries but I’m still looking forward to this!

That is some epic company. Good for you, now go monetize the hell out of it because you deserve this (esp. for Blue Core) !

BJ

Callum with a face? Inconceivable! For the first couple chapters, everything is over the shoulder or its hidden behind books, tvs, etc., and when he goes into disguise give him the goofy and ridiculous mustache and glasses disguise, then when he's The Ghost give him a hat or hood and cast his face in deep shadow/portallyness.

NANI?! Practical Guide to Evil and Paranoid mage as webtoons? Is this Christmas two months in a row or what?

NordicDrake

Congratulations. Do remember to hire a contract and license attorney before signing anything. I have heard of so many starstruck creators signing some very bad long-time contracts,

Nori Lamphere

OMGosh! I am SO TOTALLY thrilled for you! This is awesome and you absolutely deserve this! WTG! It makes me all wiggly to think I've been a supporter leading up to this total treasure!
