What was the push force behind this story ? What made this collaboration pass ?
Perez : Chip greased some palms , pulled some string , and got thing to pass . I truly believe he has mob affiliations .
Zdarsky : Ugh , ARTISTS . Can you be serious for ONCE ? !
Zdarsky : Like most writers , I ’m intrigue by the musical theme of immortality . But instead of glamorous vampire immortality , I desire to research the effects on a small townsfolk and its non - glamorous citizen . Ramón was our first pick for the creative person because he ’s across - the - control board awing at describe genuine graphic symbol and pervade them with life ( immortal or otherwise ) .
Daniel ’s life is spinning wildly out of control when we conform to him . Given the mysterious happening in Stillwater , is he the unluckiest admirer ever ? In a townspeople where nobody dies , is it dependable to assume he will bite the bullet train a few clock time in this series ?
Perez : the Christian Bible ’s tagline is " Nobody dies ” and well , all I can ever cogitate is you may still palpate annoyance . Can you figure being burned alive and living through the agony , or dismembered … . affair are not going to be pretty .
Zdarsky : Yeah . Though , he does get to live forever now ! That ’s pretty lucky … correct ?
What can readers expect from Stillwater ? The story protrude off somewhat commonly and completely gets alternate on its header . Things sure enough are n’t as they come along .
Perez : There is a tenseness below the airfoil in the townsfolk of Stillwater . Dividing faction and engagement permeates the populace . The townsfolk is a boiling pot of water leave neglected … I understandably do n’t want to give anything off , but every return build so beautifully on the last as things put on that I consider with every outlet the book gets harder to put down , and the delay will feel longer between progeny .
Zdarsky : I love the tranquil little - town aspect , but we do aside with that rather promptly . This is a townspeople at war but they just do n’t know it yet . And Daniel is caught in the eye .
Without spoiling , the book takes quite a dramatic turn towards the end . How unearthly will things get ? Is this just the tip of the iceberg lettuce ? The horror elements are really well done .
Perez : unquestionably the tip of the iceberg . We ’ve just scraped the Earth’s surface so far . Weirdsville is the next halt of the highway after Stillwater … .
Zdarsky : We spend a lot of fourth dimension figuring out this world and the weirdness that would arise from the town ’s curse , so I ’m really looking frontward to playing it out for the readers .
What do you think proofreader will really enjoy from the new serial ?
Perez : the development of the characters and how they play off each other . Immortality is an evil in this town and it ’s infecting everyone .
Zdarsky : I think lector will also like the thoroughgoing material .
