The good folks over at the Comic Book Page Podcast talked with me about the upcoming comic series Last Reign and had some great questions regarding this project as a comic vs. this project as a film.
One thing I've noticed after listening to this interview and the Geekerati podcast last week is that I am a stuttering idiot. It's embarrassing (actually, it's pretty frikkin' horrifying). But if you can get past my "you know, um..uh-uh-uh-uh..." it's rather informative. So take a chance and give it a listen.

Fall of Cthulhu: Godwar #1 out today (8-13)
Today the Godwar begins. Those of you who have been itching to see some of the bigger nasties get their day in the sun will want to read this arc. Don't worry, the little people you've come to know are still around (and we even see the return of an old friend), but there's no telling what will happen to them when all hell starts to break loose. Pick it up at your local comics shop or order it online here.
If you'd like to get a little taste, Ain't It Cool News has a preview.

Delaying the inevitable.
As of this moment, I am nearly done with Fall of Cthulhu. The final issue of Apocalypse will be the last chapter of the meta story I've been telling since we first saw Abdul Alhazred resurrected in issue #0 all those months ago. Almost done.
But I can't bring myself to finish it.
It's not that I don't have the story outlined and ready to go. It's that I don't want to finish it. Yes, FoC will be continuing on after Apocalypse, but it will be a different story. This story, with Cy, his crazy uncle, poor Jordan, that damn knife, Connor, Arkham, Sysyphyx, the Gith, the Masked Mute, the Gnruk, Sheriff Dirk, Lucifer, the Harlot, even the big C himself, will finally be over. And I don't like that very much.
I felt this way when I finished DINGO. I was so happy to type the words THE END, but there was that weird sadness that came with no longer being able to live in that world with those characters. Reading about them is one thing. Creating them quite another. Once the story is over, there is no more creation. That particular thrill is gone forever.
There's also the horrible knowledge that I'll never be able to make the story better. The story could always have its less than stellar moments, but even so, there's always the hope that the next issue or the next arc will be the one that really makes the story something to remember. Readers can forgive (usually) a lull in performance if there's some redemption later on. But if the story's over, that opportunity is gone. Carved in stone, as they say.
But the nice thing is that when this story is finally over, I get to move on to the next one. And the next one. And the next one. I can only hope I enjoy them as much as I have FoC.
