After Storm Front? A question for the Dabels or the thematic consultants

[ludomaniac]

So, Storm Front v.2 #1 has arrived, and it's great.  The visuals are fantastic, and the writer is doing a great job with a difficult task.

But, like every fan, I'm inclined to look forward to what's next, rather then appreciate what I already have. I remember talk that Jim was planning an original graphic story to be published between each adaptation, depending on his schedule and sales of the comics.  Is this still true?  Specifically, will an original story be coming after SF, and if so, approximately when?

From the interview found in the back of the comic "...the next one probably will be set between Storm Front and Fool Moon. Early in Fool Moon, Murphy asks Harry where he was the month before. He tells her, Minnesota. Somebody saw something in a lake. So I guess we'll find out what it was!"

Ah, you must mean that interview I ignored because I thought it was the first page of a lettercol.  The one that, had I read it, would have kept me from looking silly.

I'll poke at Ernst for an answer, but as there's been no announcement one way or another, he may not be able to say.

Remember, alot of that hinges on Jim's schedule. He's still writing the last Alera novel...depending on deadlines for that and the next Dresden novel, and combined with the schedule for DBPro, it's possible things may not line up.

(This is assuming he'd write the script, and not just a treatment Mark would expand upon.)

Ok, apparently we're jumping straight into Fool Moon. While I don't know the exact reason, I'm guessing scheduling of the creative talent did not allow for a new story at this juncture.

Ah, well.  There's no rule saying they can't go back and do one later.
