Glorification of Destruction

My newest comic script is at the halfway point of being finished. Once I've made some major headway with the 3rd Issue my new artist will begin work on the 1st Issue. Wait till you've seen this new guy. Oh man... You've seen Santiago. You've seen William. But you've NEVER seen this new guy... I get pumped just thinking about what he's going to be bringing to the table!

This new comic is a mobster story. Which was no easy feat. Every type of gangster story has been told in my opinion, and told in every possible medium (movies, books, comics, TV). So where does one go? How does one present a new type of story about a bunch of gangsters doing a bunch of gangster shit?

Therein laid the challenge my friends. But I what I've come up with, what you're going to see, I can assure you has NEVER been done in a gangster story. NEVER. This is a first. I know that's a tall order. I know I may be sticking my neck out to hang, but I promise that you will love what you see...

One of the aspects I'm working with is the glorification of destruction. (And no, this is not the trump card I spoke of in the last paragraph. You're going to have to wait for inks and letters before you see what that's all about.) I wanted to write about the obsession some people have with mutilation of the lives around them, even their own. But I wanted to present it in the way they see it: charming, alluring, sexy, gross in a nice way. Some people gain a strong sense of bravado from recklessness. They feel a certain strength and confidence from acting out in ways that ruin the world around them. I wanted to explore that.

And so I am...

I found this online. The drawing is by an artist named Caleb McCall. I tried looking him up, but could find out very little about him. Maybe you know him? Either way, this drawing is in a small way a cryptic clue as to certain aspects of new comic. I promise it will make sense the second it drops. Ponder. Ponder. Ponder...
