Every episode has a purpose to move the story forward.
When I approached Volume 1 of 'Lucid,' I realized I could tell something that only exists in four issues, or I could roll the dice a bit and approach this as Season 1 of a TV show.
I'm one of those people who think that stories should have a beginning, a middle and an end, and then they're over, and then you tell the next story.
All novels are sequels; influence is bliss.
My view is that comic books are meant to be long-form stories. They're meant to be novels.
I love serialized stories of any kind. I'm a huge sucker for any kind of series.
I kinda write in sequences that I live through.
