![]() ![]() "It was fun working with Phil in that way, but since then, most of the narrators of Astro City stories, to pick an example, are both point-of-view characters and leads. "In making Phil an observer and narrator, but not that much of a direct participant, we were hearkening back to older traditions, when novels were often narrated by someone off on the fringes of the action, someone who was in a position to know what happened because he or she knew the lead characters, but wasn't all that involved in events," Busiek told me in a 2008 interview. ![]() ![]() It was the events of that epilogue which later became a jumping-off point for Waid's story, while Ross went back to the source material. In the case of Kingdom Come, the epilogue was shorter, and developed for a collected edition of the original miniseries. ![]() Waid would return to the world of Kingdom Come not long after (with The Kingdom), but it would take significantly longer to lure Ross back (in a JSA arc with Geoff Johns). This - as well as the epilogue itself - feels a bit like Kingdom Come, which Ross developed for DC and published with writer Mark Waid on board. Busiek has returned to the world of Marvels once before - with 2008's Marvels: Eye of the Camera - but Ross was not part of that story, which was instead illustrated by Jay Anacleto. ![]()
