Something incredible happened this weekend. I saw the 5th and final issue of The Overman. Of course, this wasn't the printed comic, but an emailed production pdf, which has yet to be edited and proofed. But regardless, there it was, on my computer screen.There is something shocking, yet soul-emptying about this last issue. I can't put it into words, in a way that properly conveys what I'm going through here. I'm seeing the last pages of a story that has been with me for 20 years. I'm happy to see it finished, and finished right.
You'll have to wait until April to see the last issue for yourself, since Book II will be arriving in comic shops on January 4th. Don't worry, you have months ahead of you before the end. You have time to prepare. You have time to warn others.
I'll put this whole experience into perspective later, and plan for whatever lies ahead, I suppose. I can't really put this into words right now, without coming across as needlessly pretentious. After all, you haven't seen how this story ends. I have. You don't know what is waiting for you, in the final moments...
I hope you'll stay with us on the journey.
