AUTHORS' COMMENTS:

[Christina] When it came time to discuss the trade coming out, Brian Hurtt got really excited by the notion of making the book like a DVD that comes out chock full of "extras." We certainly weren't going to stand in his way. Brian got busy drawing all sorts of sketches for Adakai's office and pictures for "How To Build A Hogan." And then he said "Hey, why not add an extra story?" It was sort of like the lost footage from a movie that winds up on the cutting room floor. We immediately agreed and got to work on the 5 page prequel that became Forsythe's story. (Though it started as a 4 page story and once again it was Brian who felt the story needed an extra page.) We think the trade paperback came out really well and that credit goes to Brian Hurtt.

[Nunzio] This trade sports another gorgeous Durwin Talon cover. I think I got spoiled as a writer, because the first 5 issues I ever wrote (Detective 754 and the Skinwalker mini) all had covers by Durwin. The man is incredibly talented and incredibly nice on top of that. After the trade had come out, we saw Durwin at Comic Con in San Diego, and he offered us a print of one of his beautiful digitally painted covers - which he was selling for a pretty good price - for free. We loved the trade cover so much, we knew it had to be this one. But, as we looked at all the covers, we realized we wanted them all. But we were struggling writers then (as opposed to now, when we're writers who are REALLY struggling) and knew we could only afford so many - we loved the fact that Durwin was offering us one for free, but we wanted to pay for any other(s) because Durwin's got bills to pay too. We settled on one extra one. So now two Durwin covers grace the walls of our office. They're great, movie-poster quality covers. We hope we can do a book with Durwin on covers or (if we're really lucky) interior art someday.
