    And I realize that the argument about Aileen is just an aside here, but to toss in my own two cents, I tend to agree that such a trope can be hit-or-miss. Specifically in this case, it doesn't bother me unless I think about it. I guess I have mixed feelings.
    It doesn't bother you unless you think about it?!?!

    Dude? How can you not think about it ... she's in every issue looking like a cross between Bobby Brady and Pancho Villa.

    It's clearly an open secret. Everyone calls her by name, even in public. Doesn't seem like the writers are thinking about it all of the time, either. Seems Furth just wanted an excuse to include her. Writing consistently of an alien culture is more difficult. I expect some measure of slackness when I pick up a comic book. It's just a part of how I read, I suppose.

    In response to the argument that King wouldn't be able to balance writing both comics and novels, doesn't his involvement in the "American Vampire" series disprove that a little? (I say "a little" as he's not in it for the long haul like Furth and David apparently are, but he's still doing it)

    Yes, on some points, for sure. Then again, he's just contributing, it's not all on him to write the whole thing, every month.

    Many thanks to nocny for this link! Thought I'd bring it over here so hopefully more folks will see it.
