Like what maybe inspired it? What, what, uh, what things you were looking at and you were like, you know what, let's, I think I like these ideas thrown together.

Sure.

Well, I had just finished my first creator-owned comic, which was a superhero comic back in 2015.

And I had sort of decided that I thought, you know, I need to exercise my writing ability because, you know, I really studied more as an artist.

I really didn't have a whole lot of writing experience before.

So I decided I was going to try my hand at some different types of stories, like sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

So when it came down to writing a horror story, or at least kind of coming up with a starting point where I wanted to go, I don't know, for whatever reason, I just got the idea in my head that the Frankenstein story had been sort of retold again and again and not necessarily so much reimagined or expanded upon.

That's fun.

What was it like to pull on those people and parts of history?

Well, you know, I definitely wanted from the very beginning of the story to make villains of the story, the Confederacy.

And so I wanted to also pull from real historical figures in the book.

So I settled on Stonewall Jackson as sort of my main guy.

He doesn't really come into play.

He's more of a...

It's more of a major leader that comes back in the end of the series.
