THE BOOK OF LOST SOULS #1
Written by J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Pencils & Cover by COLLEEN DORAN
The destinies of most people are defined early on. Then there are the
others - the lost. Those whose numbers aren't in yet, who could go
toward the light or toward the darkness - indeed, who could be tipped
one direction or another. And everything starts with the book. That's
what Jonathan is about to discover. When he took a suicide plunge off
the London Bridge more than a century ago, the last place he expected
to land was on his feet, in the present, standing at the entrance to a
tunnel into a world of mysteries beyond his wildest imagination. A
world of powers and principalities and, above all, rules that he'd best
learn quickly. Or he'll have to deal with the Dark Man. And what the
Dark Man can't turn, he devours.
**********
It's the kind of story I love in that it allows me to ask the big
questions, while answering them on a personal, intimate level. It's a
very quirky book -- sometimes funny, sometimes dark, sometimes just
weird and at times oddly romantic -- and totally unlike anything else
Marvel is publishing, which makes it kind of an experiment for them as
well. They haven't done much at all in the urban fantasy/magic realism
school, so they're looking to this to see how it works for them.
And best of all...for those who've been here for a while...it has a
talking cat named Mystery, who is based a bit on Buddy, the cat I
rescued from an underground pipe now two years ago. So Buddy has hit
the big time...and of course now he has an agent, a manager, a
girlfriend, his own driver...there's just no living with him.
Anyway...they're taking orders for the book now, and I really strongly
commend it to folks who liked the moral texture of B5, and the personal
stories, and the intimacy of something like Midnight Nation. And
Colleen is doing some of her best work in this thing, in my view, and
if you know her work from other books and her Lord of the Rings art,
you know that's saying a lot.

We've spoken about the Starlost a few -- very few -- times. One
doesn't lightly sprinkle salt in a wound of that magnitude. Beyond
that, we've sometimes talked about doing something together one of
these days (aside from B5 where he was our creative consultant for five
years), but so far we haven't hit on the right thing.
