It’s one of those things where the weirdest part of this for me is knowing that I’ve had the last issue in my head since the beginning. I could write the last page of it now. What’s so strange is the idea that, in the next few years, it will be done and I will be one step further toward the grave. -- Neil Gaiman

Ever wondered how a magical girl series written by Garth Ennis would look like? Look no further.

Jamie Delano's Hellblazer: Hunger
Jan. 23rd, 2021 12:28 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

[In Hellblazer] I was always just writing whatever my characters told me to. They all existed in an (enhanced) reality that I shared and responded to it with a tip of the hat to genre. Being a bit of a squeamish sort, horror has never been my first love. I slipped into writing it largely through the opportunity presented by Hellblazer and discovered its allegorical potential. I exploited the genre to dramatise the aspects of human existence that disturbed me.

I Walk with Monsters #1
Dec. 25th, 2020 12:59 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

This is a hugely important project for me, both in terms of how personal it is, and how much of a comeback to comics it is. It’s the story of a young woman and her friend who can be a monster, going hunting. I think it’s my best work in the medium, my attempt to create horror that comes from a real place, with lots of heart and character. -- Paul Cornell

Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity #2
Jan. 28th, 2020 11:00 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

“I originally wanted to do a Joker book for the YA line. They explained to me that they weren’t doing villains, but they still said they’d like to hear the pitch. I had worked on an X-Files book, and my friend, Dr. Ed Kurz, was one of my consultants. He’s a real forensic psychiatrist profiler. I’ve always been interested in possibly writing an adult serial killer suspense novel, and Ed and I were talking about how there are psychopaths that never kill anyone. How does a boy or a girl who’s a regular kid end up becoming Ted Bundy? I was really interested in telling that kind of a story about the Joker. But the more I dug into the story, and the more that Ed consulted on it with me, it became clear that it was not going to be appropriate for YA. I really had to go dark with it. I wanted it to be true.” — Kami Garcia
