I wrote a new six-issue comic book series called IDES OF BLOOD which comes out on August 18 from Wildstorm (a division of DC Comics). It's a project I began working on years ago, and much of it was written while listening to John's music. I'd say early drafts were probably written while listening to Inside of Emptiness and a Sphere in the Heart of Silence. The most recent polishes were scribbled under the thrall of the Empyrean.
The story takes place in an alternate history where Julius Caesar conquered Transylvania, making vampires Rome's new slave class and ultimately paving the way for his own assassination. Underneath all that, it is about how we all forge our own chains, enslaving ourselves to certain people, ideas or fears. It is also an exploration of the relationship between history and immorality, between legend and lies.
Since this is my first comic, I could use all the support I can get. If you are interested, you can order the comic online from any number of retailers by googling Ides of Blood, or you can pre-order it from your local comic store. Go to www.comicshoplocater.com if you don't know where the closest comic store is. If you've never read comics before, now is the time! Thanks for your support (or just for reading).

I only need your permission for that, I won't do anything unless you allow me to.
