It's been six days. Six days that the tiny blinking cursor of my word processor has flashed at me mockingly from the top of an empty white page. Six days since I was given the task to announce the release of the latest issue of Lonely in Black. I've written countless introductions and announcements in the past, a few mini stories here and there and four scripts for the comic. Yet this one simple announcement has been the most difficult thing I've ever had to write throughout the years that Andy and I have been working on the book. That's because this issue of the comic wraps up the storyline and brings us to the end of the Lonely in Black quadrilogy. It's been a decade in the making and I've got to admit that, while I'm not normally at a loss for words, polishing off the final issue has left me completely wordless. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that there is no way I will ever be able to express how utterly momentous this occasion is to Andy and I. I would like to say that it’s kind of like learning how to drive, watching a baby take its first steps, owning your first home, taking a dream vacation, wrestling a bear (and winning), traveling through outer space, and capturing a unicorn. In that order. One of the greatest joys, however, comes from the fact that we get to share all this with you. So without further ado, I am pleased to announce the fourth and final installment in the Lonely in Black saga.
When and where can I get mine you ask? Well it will be making its debut at the Wizard World Con in Austin this weekend. Once the dust settles, it will be available here on this site. And oh, just because it is the end of what we started doesn't mean that its the end of Lonely in Black. There's a LIB special release planned for early next year. Stay tuned....
