Andrew Taylor's first contribution to the comic - one he actually wrote a good couple of years ago, such is the nature of our workflow - has come to an end. You can say what you want about this issue, but I loved it. After all the swashbuckling and adventure Meaney and Llewellyn have had, taking it down a notch and giving them a "smaller" problem to deal with felt right. Especially considering what's coming next.

I'm not shy about how much I love Andrew's writing. Each of the writers here at Team Jump Leads has their strengths and weaknesses, and just as Euan Mumford has the best handle on Meaney, no one writes for Llewellyn better than Andrew. That's probably in part because Andrew basically is Llewellyn, only instead of travelling to parallel universes Andrew grinds teeth for a living. Or something. I've never really looked into it.

The next issue is two things. Firstly, it's an experiment in team writing. All four writers were involved in this issue - Euan, Andrew, Paul and myself - from the early plotting stages right through to final dialogue. We even did a rare "table read". We all wrote, and re-wrote, and then I ultimately edited everything together and made sure you couldn't see the seams where writers' work had been joined together.

Secondly, it's a gargantuan story. Mammoth. I've jokingly referred to it as our "season finale" story, because that's what it feels like - something to end the first season of a show, and to prepare for the second.

It's called "The Voyage Home".

I'll let you digest that for a while.
