I quit halfway through #2 over various payment and editorial matters, and my script for #1 had already been editorially-rendered incoherent.<br><br>I forget who they gave the book to, but wherever they went with it had nothing to do with my intended plot.Kurt Busiekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07642565760771297326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708400289937180713.post-63160334639900536212011-04-26T08:33:00.720-07:002011-04-26T08:33:00.720-07:00Double-checking the credits, I see I made a mistak...Double-checking the credits, I see I made a mistake in the review! And I apologize for that.

Had I completed it, her origin would have been throughly recognizable but with a few tweaks and more texture. I have no idea what they wound up doing, though.Kurt Busiekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07642565760771297326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708400289937180713.post-39250437295484629132011-04-26T22:01:08.264-07:002011-04-26T22:01:08.264-07:00I didn't follow everything Harris did in great...I didn't follow everything Harris did in great detail, but they took the "revamping" quite a bit further than just a little tweaking and fine-tuning.<br><br>It's too bad that they didn't stick closer to the original idea, because I think that all the Vampi-verse needed was a little tightening up here and there.Steve Miller, Writer of Stuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263633883997493518noreply@blogger.com
