There's nothing like coming home again.
Yeah, life is good at Dreamwave Productions. We've got a bountiful bevy of beautiful books coming out. But there's always been a soft spot in my heart for where it all really began for me: Darkminds, and my pals at Top Cow.
Darkminds is what, I think, really put me on the map. And crossing over with Top Cow and the mighty, mighty Witchblade back in year 2000 really put the cherry on that sundae. Heck, it tasted sooooo good…we all decided to do it again.
And here we are: Witchblade/Darkminds: The Return of Paradox brings me and the Dreamwave crew back to the Cow for another pit stop. Witchblade-meister David Wohl lays down the words, while my pal Lou Kang pencils the pretty pictures. I'm playing Stern Taskmaster and Chief Cheerleader by drawing the cover, overseeing coloring, and making sure the whole thing gets tied up with a nice bow on it.
Yeah, it sure is nice to come home again. Feels good. And just so you know, I'll have yet more fun in the Top Cow playground coming soon. Just you wait…
