Black Rainbow that made you want to connect it to a novel rather than a comic this time round? "Well, one of the things I've wanted to do is adapt the pre-existing comics into standard prose novels: and this being the first story, essentially, the origins of the characters Coheed and Cambria, I thought it'd be nice to just start in that medium, and that way, in terms of novels, it'll come, the story will come out and unfold in chronological form. As opposed to the comics, which are kind of mismatched and out of sequence." Do you ever regret doing the comics? "Oh no. Not at all, I don't regret doing the comics at all. I'm actually doing the story of In Keepign Secrets... right now - the first issue came out last month, and the second issue comes out later this month - so no, not at all. I love comics. I mean, I love literature in general and any form of it, so you know when I get a chance I'll read whatever, but comics, that was my first introduction to reading as a kid, so I just enjoy it." So as someone who works in both comics and novels, did that influence your decision to work with Peter David on this novel? "Yeah, yeah. You know, I met Peter through our agency group, and I've always known Peter's work with Incredible Hulk, and some of his creator-owned titles like Fallen Angel . I thought why not?
