Lots of homoerotic comics weirdness of late– it seems that the editors in Italy would like ‘Roulette’ expanded to a two-volume release; in order to accommodate them, I’ve had to add a new scene to the original DQ script (which was 176 pages); and for the second volume, I’ve been asked to add a side-story… At first I thought ‘no way!’ not writing BL anymore…but… as I thumbed out the extended scenes, I’d forgot how much I love the volatile pairing of Riley and Colletti.
I’ll be writing an ‘epilogue’ of sorts, a little small one-shot that will give Volume 2 the page count it needs to release with the Final Chapter of Roulette. Lots of shockers in that Chapter, I think readers will find it’s been worth the wait.
The Italian publisher plans to take Roulette to Angouleme this year, so Volume 1 will be released before that.
Still very sorry to hear you’re not writing BL any more but glad things are doing well for you.
