Whatever happened to "Pilot Season" by Kirkman? I bought every fun issue. And he never finished the LAST issue. Just 22 pages of script Kirkman, let's go!!

Sure, the thing is, I hate to have any project end or have some kind of an abrupt hiatus, but the fact of the matter is that Rob and I did have a disagreement over the art on the book. He wanted to take his art in a different direction and I wanted to keep the book consistent. We butted heads over that issue. The beauty of a creator-owned arrangement and also the curse of a creator-owned arrangement is that the creators get to decide what happens with that project. Rather than drive each other crazy -- because we are good friends -- we decided it would be better to part ways professionally for now. It is what it is. It's definitely an unfortunate situation. I don't think Rob or I are happy with the particular outcome, but it was better than driving each other crazy. It was definitely a case of creator differences and it's just one of those unfortunate things that happened. What can you do.

That's really s#itty to hear. Which issue will be the finale? I had a feeling that something would happen to this book when I saw Liefeld pick up three new books at DC.
