Original kickstarter for Issue #1 is here if you want more info, including a short trailer for the series.

But yeah, I basically made Bob’s Burgers meets Game of Thrones…because that’s what the world needs in 2025.

I actually came on here to tell you about it and thank you for indirectly inspiring my third major series. Kit Buss of Critical Role campaign one actually did the cold open (And that amazing cover). PM me if you want a free PDF of the first issue and/or your own physical copy. Thanks!

Also, not to distract, but this is a bit of serendipity. We met at DragonCon back in 2015 & I pitched a web series (starring you) about NPCs to Geek and Sundry.It didn’t work out due to budgetary reasons. Since then I’ve become a Ringo Award nominated comic creator & that very story just came out!

Hey, Congrats! Great to see you’re also doing comics! Can’t wait to see it.

So sorry for your loss. Beautiful example of a tuxedo. Mine died of the same, due to cancer. Whenever death touches my life I find this excerpt from an #alanwatts lecture to be of comfort: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uieX...

Sorry to hear this. We lost a cat to cancer about a year ago. I've had pets my whole life. It never gets easier, though I find poems like the one below provide some real comfort.

Incredible work! Also: check your email/PMs.

Yeah, that’s what I was getting at. Even before the show (which I haven’t followed closely) Crowley and A were the most memorable characters. I literally forgot Adam existed until this conversation reminded me.

I mean…technically? Sure, but w/ very little exception no decent writer will write a protagonist who both doesn’t change AND simply reacts to everything around them. 99% of the time the protagonist is the character(s) with the greatest amount of agency with regard to the events of the narrative.

Hell, you could easily argue that Juliette’s choices have more impact than Romeo’s. Her decision to marry Romeo leads directly to Tybalt’s death. For a character with no social agency, she has a huge amount of personal agency in the narrative.

I’m a writer so I like to talk shop. ;)

Juliette accepts Romeo’s advances, rejects her arranged marriage with Paris, and schemes with the priest to escape her fate, then unalives herself, which is the single biggest moment of the entire play, to which everything has been building to. She drives the story throughout the entire narrative.

Centering the show on Adam doesn’t make much sense in 2024, as we don’t really have that particular genre Adam was inspired by. Ultimately the movers and shakers in the book and the show weren’t Adam and his friends, it was always Crowley & A.

I’m not sure about that. Crowley & Aziraphale were the main characters, not Adam. They were parodying a series of children’s books at the time and mashing it up with movies like “Rosemary’s Baby”. The thing is, Adam really isnt the main character b/c he doesn’t change, nor does he drive the plot.

Anansi Boys. Same universe, very different story.
