Edenwood is a collection three years in the making, one which I used to be starting to craft proper earlier than Scott Snyder and I crossed paths in NYC and destiny took me in one other route, co-creating Nocterra with one in all comics’ best writers. This collection represents what I really like most about comics: pleasure, drama, large motion, heroes we are able to relate to and fall in love with, and villains we’ll like to despise. This collection may be very excessive idea—but its characters stay relatable and grounded in actuality—all whereas now we have an epic, large-scale battleground of demonic tanks, floating battleships and demon troopers pitted against witchcraft-infused weaponry and armored troopers. And away from all of the violent magic and mayhem between Edenwood and Necronema, now we have the ‘Open Lands’ (the remainder of the United States) the place simply as a lot evil is going on however in a quiet, deliberate manner, to additional the demon enlargement. All of that is the backdrop for our hero, Rion, and his solid of enjoyable and thrilling demon hunters. So to say that I’m excited to be engaged on this new collection can be one in all the greatest understatements of my profession!
