If you thought something didn’t look quite right about the Previews solicitations for Pocket Books‘ Degrassi: Extra Credit graphic novels, well, you’re right.
Contrary to what you may read, Comic Book Resources contributor Arune Singh didn’t replace J. Torres as writer of the books (based on the popular Degrassi: The Next Generation TV series).
No, it was a bizarre mistake.
“Trust me, I was shocked,” Singh writes on his blog. “I don’t know how Pocket Books, a well known company, could mess this up so badly, but I guess they just got their wires crossed somewhere. Let me reiterate: I did not write these comics. I would like to write comics at some point but remain unpublished despite having written a decent amount (including a 176-page original graphic novel). So if anyone wants to hire me, I’m happy to work for you, but I did not write these comics. J. Torres did and that’s why they’ll be great reads.”
