Newsarama talked to McKeever about his return to the Waiting Place characters, what we'll learn about Rose Wilson in the Ravager co-features, and whether the writer has anything else coming up.
Newsarama: What's this rumor about a new story about The Waiting Place? Is it true?
Sean McKeever: Yeah, I got in contact with IDW late last year, and we set up a deal to reprint all of The Waiting Place in one volume, so that will come out in September. Mike Norton's done a new cover for it, and it's a really awesome cover.
And as an extra-special treat, Mike and I are going to be putting together a new 20-page story for the collection.
Back in New York Comic Con, in February, I had an idea for a new story, but I was kind of struggling with the ending. And then I saw this commission that Mike did for somebody of Jeffry and Lora from The Waiting Place. And seeing Mike, today, drawing those characters just lit a fire under my butt to get the story going. So I finally came up with the whole story. I'm scripting it currently. And I'm really geeked to see Mike draw them with his ability now.
The Waiting Place is the teen drama McKeever created and self-published for several years beginning in 1997. Telling the story of a group of coming-of-age characters in small-town Wisconsin, the series caught the eye of Marvel editors and paved the way for the writer's comics career. The Waiting Place is also where readers first saw McKeever together with Norton as they collaborated on the comic, and the creative team later introduced Gravity to the Marvel Universe in that character's five-issue origin mini-series.
Been waiting for this for quite a while now.
Ok, Norton- I'm officially a happy boy now.
