I'm trying to follow a formula that I saw in Marvel's Punisher MAX 
series. There is only so much you can say or do with a character like 
the Super Wizard From Space, so instead you try focus on stories of 
those he interacts with instead. The title character is rarely the focus 
of any arc, allowing me to experimentally flesh others around him.

I didn't do too much with the devil story, but I'm trying to add a bit 
more with this one, particularly Gavrilo. And I'll try to continue with 
future characters.

I'm having too much fun with the idea of space- were-bees, I admit it :P

I may lose some of the entertaining spontaneity of each issue, but I 
figure I'll gain in ongoing continuity instead. Or that's the plan 
anyway *crosses fingers*
