I have a Riddler story in my back pocket. Actually an ensemble piece with Riddler in the center, with either an entirely new hero, or an interesting z-lister I can spruce up.

I think it's an idea that needs Veronica Fish on art duty.

Okay, you get to write ONE dream comic mini-series, featuring characters you did not create.

What character would you pick, and who would draw it?

I have decided that Sigil Prep's favorite vacation spot, Will Dispater's Diabolic Kingdom (and Water Park) deserved a bit of expansion, so I've created a lil' "boxed set" (web page) for it. #sigilprep #dnd

Speaking of #dnd, anybody with mapmaking skills that could do a passable theme park map? In a style akin to the brochure maps they give out at the parks, not necessarily to scale.

I have the locations that need to be included, just not the artistic skills.

I worked in a bookstore with a Horror section, and not a single author was immune to "Clive Barker isn't horror" " Dean Koontz isn't horror" "V.C. Andrews isn't horror." Someone told me Stephen King, the King of Horror, wasn't a horror writer.
