I hate the waiting part

I just finished the script for “Spike vs. Dracula #5,” the last installment of the series. It takes place during the early part of the fifth season of “Angel.” Dracula shows up in LA, because naturally his attorneys are Wolfram and Hart…and when he shows up, the ghostly Spike is lying in wait to drive him absolutely bonkers.

It may well be one of the funniest comic book stories I’ve ever written.

But now I have to wait for it to be drawn and everything. It’s so frustrating, because as soon as it’s done I’m anxious to get it in front of reader’s eyes. Kathleen and Ariel both read it and thought it was great. Now I want to get the finished product out there.

So next time you think how frustrating it is to have to wait a month to see what happens in a comic, keep in mind that the writer has to wait even longer to see what your reactions are to what happens.
