Shooter has done some misc work for other than DC, Marvel,
Valiant, Defiant and Broadway. He wrote an introduction in
Battlestar Galactica 1: The New Millennium,
published by Realm Press and he wrote the introduction to James
Maxey's "Nobody Gets the Girl." Those interested can also read
excerpts from Shooter's
"How to Write Comics"
seminar.
Shooter wrote an editorial published in Dreadstar 1 and was also
involved in a parody comic that was published after he had left
Marvel. Titled "Fred Hembeck
Destroy the Marvel Universe," it parodies Shooter's plans to
severely alter the Marvel Universe in ways that fanboys would
despise. It was published in 1989, 2 years after Shooter was
gone. Full details can be found here.
After Broadway Comics closed down, there were mentions of Shooter
starting Daring Comics but nothing materialized. It has also been
mentioned that Shooter is working on a book titled "$uper Villains"
detailing his rise and fall and rise again through the industry.
Shooter wrote several plot outlines that never got published. Most
of them centered around his Valiant, Defiant and Broadway creations.
In early 2002, he also wrote an outline for a
new Avengers story
that would unfold as a sequel to The Korvac Saga. Interviews also
mention that he has a couple of good Legion stories he'd like to
see published.
While doing research for this site, I found that Shooter's name comes
up fairly frequently in the newsgroups and message boards but there
isn't a lot of news about what he's up to these days. Most of the
discussions center around comic fans wishing he was still writing
and editing books. The most recent news shows him being involved with
Phobos Entertainment
since August 2000.
