Robert bringing on Bret Blevins is an absolute dream come true, as his work has been a huge inspiration, ever since his work on\u00a0<em>Sleepwalker<\/em>.

Robert Kirkman\u2019s concept and Joseph Keatinge\u2019s rich and subtle script have made for a joyous collaboration and inspired me to reach beyond what I thought I could do and surprise myself, and I hope, the readers.
