(Interview conducted via e-mail)

I noticed that you didn't ink Part 3, would tell us what led you to that decision?

After looking over the first two parts, and having some time to mull over it, I decided that my inking really didn't do my pencils justice. So I decided to take the final book in another direction, stylistically.

I like the light blue tone you used. I think it gives the comic a softer more finished look. I'm wondering what prompted you to use that effect?

After seeing Acidpet's use of tones in "Insurrection" and "Hauntis," I thought I'd use something similar, yet something all my own. I liked the yellow tint that "The Crow: City of Angels" had, and thought a more cool blue tone would fit the story Kubra D had written.

I know you thought about scrapping the project and I'm glad you didn't. What inspired you to go ahead and complete Revelations?

It's true I was contemplating scrapping the project. I was pretty worn out on Crow projects, and hadn't heard from Kubra D in months, but seeing as how we dedicated the story to our departed friend, Forensic Data, I felt it needed to see completion, even if it meant finishing it myself, to really honor him.

You had to finish the project yourself. What type of impact did that have on the finale? Did you find that you had to change the story very much? If so, in what way and why?

That's a good question. When I decided to finish the story, I had to sit down and go through the story, and what I had mapped out in the way of artwork, and decide what could be left out of the pages, that weren't integral to the story. Once I had that figured out, I had to go through the process of laying out the pages according to the story (deciding what angles would be good for a particular scene, and so on). I really didn't have to change much of what Kubra had written. I only rearranged a few scenes, and added some dialogue to some others, to fill in some gaps. For example, when Damaen finds Angel in the asylum, the scene is more drawn out before he actually appears before her. Another example is the explanation Angel gives for her being there at all. Originally, it was to be in a flashback, where we 'see' her awaken in the morgue, and run away scared, then see an explanation as to why her casket was buried with no body, and how she ended up in the asylum. After giving it much thought, and taking into consideration the page count of the book, I decided it was best to have her explain to Damaen what happened, since she's had a lot of time to think about what happened to them.

I really enjoyed the twist at the end. How did you get the idea to bring both characters back and have them return to the realm of the dead together?

That was actually Kubra's idea. I'm not sure if it's easy to gather from the conversation or not, but Angel was brought back first, to avenge their deaths. She couldn't handle the realization that she and Damaen were dead though, and went into a daze. An employee for the asylum was passing by, and found her wandering in an alley wrapped in a sheet. She was believed to be insane because of the state of mind she was in.

In the past, you've said that doing an online comic was a learning experience for you. Would you explain what you learned and what you would do differently if you were to produce another one?

It was a learning experience for sure. The main thing I learned was, not to announce a project's release date until it's finished. * lol * Honestly though, I had no real idea of the work it would take to make this book a reality. With real life things to deal with, and a full time job, finding the time it takes to do a book (even one that's online) is rough. I have newfound respect for the pros that do comics on a monthly basis. Also, after completing the first two issues I realized that even though they block the artwork somewhat, word balloons serve a purpose, for me anyway. The only thing I'd do differently with my next projects (and there will be other C3 projects), will be to complete them before I announce a date for their release.

I've enjoyed reading this comic. I really like the story. I don't think it's too close to the original either. I know, at one time, you thought people felt that way about it. How do you feel about that now? Do you still think they will see it that way or do you feel that you changed the finale so that it strays far enough from the original?

It's true I felt, and sometimes still do feel, that some people think that this book is a rip off of the original comic/movie. We addressed this in our first interview, but I'll mention it one more time here for those who may not have read the other interviews. When Kubra D first wrote the story, the idea she had was to take the ending of the first Crow story, and give it a twist. After talking it over with you and her (something many people didn't know), we decided it best not to mess with the original material. The first part of the story remained almost like it was in the first draft, which is why there is some similarity to the first film (with the pawn shop scene). I think Kubra did an amazing job of rewriting the story on such short notice, keeping the twist she thought up, yet adding the other elements to make it a story all her own. I hope people can pull themselves away from preconceptions about what a Crow story should be, and give this story a chance. I think it deserves that much. The finale hasn't changed, only the road to it has, and I'm proud of the ending Kubra created. As far as I know, it's the only story where both victims have come back to avenge their deaths, albeit at different times, when something happens to the first avatar.

In closing, I'd just like to thank you Moon Mistress, for asking some great questions, and thank the folks who may be reading this, for taking the time to read the end to this story. I hope you enjoyed it.

You're welcome. Thank you for the great answers and for taking the time to answer my questions, Salem. I truly appreciate it.
