Alex Kane has been a writing friend for quite some time. His work is sharp and colorful, and I have no doubt ASPHODEL will continue his high standards. I’m glad to have him here for an interview.
1. What is Asphodel?
Asphodel’s an underworld myth for fans of space opera: things like Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy, the videogame Destiny, or the Expanse books. It’s a 22-page, standalone comic book that I’m hoping will gain enough traction with readers to grow into something bigger, like a limited series or graphic novel. It’s the kind of blockbuster story we’ve never really seen in visual science fiction before, and I’m so thrilled to be working with an amazing artist like Gale Galligan, who’s done all the illustration in watercolor and also hand-lettered the book. I have pretty high hopes for the Kickstarter campaign. Gale and I would love to keep this going for a second issue, a third issue, and see what the future might hold.
