Certainly in the case of MIDNIGHT NATION, it's a focused story about two
individuals, as opposed to an epic tale about 113 people over 60+ years. We
get right into it and get things moving almost immediately.
It's also been a big help to get Rising Stars going because it's helped me
learn a lot about how to do this. My goal as always is to make the next thing
better than the last thing.

No. I specifically made sure that the pages given for the preview did not
contain the format stuff. You'll see....

Yeah, it was a great book, and the art and the story were engaging and weird
and funny and innovative.
>What comics have you found inspiring? What current and classics do you enjoy?
I like weird stuff...I get any of Frank Miller's stuff, the Alan Moore stuff
from Awesome, I always get Usagi and the Tick...just a wide variety of stuff.

We've discussed this, but I'm not quite ready to commit yet until I know what
that story will be. (It'd most likely be just a 3 or 4 issue mini.) I'd
rather take my time and do just a few things and do them well than do a lot and
do only half of them well.
