Jason Novak and I are working on a new comic. I sent him the the first draft of the script a couple of days ago. He’s working on the images now + I want to supplement them with larger-scale portraits of the characters.
In the email to Jason, I also wrote that there is an indirect link between this script and the Saint of the Desert idea, which we’re continuing to develop:
The connection is there are different versions of this Desert Saint character—the way Giorgos drew and described him, the way you're doing it, these messages and drawings we've gotten from the readers... The more versions we are able to bring out of the imagination and into text and images, the more we'll be able to see the meta-character behind them all, and the more real he will become.
I’ve rewritten the draft since I sent it to Jason. It became longer and perhaps more convoluted. We’ll see what it grows into.
