His ordeals now behind him, Michael stood aside his Girlfriend, Alice, holding her hand and staring into the throbbing, pulsating energy field in front of them both, their clothes tattered, their bodies sore and weary.
As he mused quietly with himself that whatever lay behind them must surely be worse than what lay ahead, a humongous tentacle tore her from his hand and dragged her inside the now closing hole, her screams slowly subsiding as she disappeared within its depths…

First of all, I would go to Gaeyrth to meet all of my friends that I have created there.
From there I would travel to Middle Earth, and then Narnia, and then The Hyborian Age, Melnibone, and then I would love to go for a trip on Long John's Pirate ship.
Hopefully you get the picture - we are so lucky that so many different worlds have been and are being created.

Reacher - Sentinel
Reacher - Blue Moon
Rumble - Volumes 1 and 2
Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus - Volumes 1 - 4 (for the umpteenth time)
And then we will see how much time I have after working on Worlds End.

Where do we come from and where are we going...

Being able to tell stories that no one has heard yet.
Creating new worlds and universes to share with everyone.
Listening to what the fans of your work actually think of it.

The same way I would approach artist's block - step away from the work.
Take a walk with your dog (if you have one) - go shopping - go to the pictures (movies) - watch a film - listen to some appropriate music that will inspire you - anything, but looking at that blank piece of paper, or white screen.
Relax and don't think about it too much and your muse will return - it always does.

The best and only answer I can give that would be of any use is quite simply to read as much varied work as you can and most of all WRITE,
If you want to tell stories - tell them.
If you want to draw them - draw them.
Create your words and your worlds and let people read them.

I am currently working on the third graphic novel in the Science Fusion series, Worlds End • Volume 3 - Don't Fear The Reapers.
I am painting the strip pages at the moment.
You can check out teaser examples over on any of my social media and also on the main websites as well.

Inspiration comes from everywhere really - although I never know what aspect of life that inspiration may come from.
I have a 'need' rather than a want to create stories, I always have since being a child.
I enjoy all aspects of storytelling, whether that be part of the writing or artwork processes or both.

I first got the idea of fusing a science fiction story with fantasy way back around 1987, when I was working for Marvel Comics.
It was just one of lots of ideas you get throughout your career, as I took breaks from working on the comics.
I wrote lots of notes and made some sketches and then a synopsis, which I later returned to, when looking for what I wanted to work on as my first graphic novel series when I began planning Wizards Keep Publishing.
It was then a matter of thinking, what would I like to get out of writing and drawing the books themselves and from that point the story just told itself.
