[quote]Death Vigil would be easiest to define as an X-Men style team book. By that, I mean it is a book about people with special abilities under the guidance of a mentor.
It is definitely a character-driven team book. Its general plot is about a bunch of death knights fighting necromancers from letting in the, eaters of universes, known as the Enemy.
It is the exploration of characters that I think will be its strongest side. The reasons for their actions and behaviors, their motivations and fears, their boastfulness and their apparent aloofness.[/quote]

Clara Jenkins never had many friends. Then she joined Death Vigil…and she gained many friends. The end! Oh…and of course there is that whole small print deal about the League of Necromancers who aligned themselves with a world-devouring enemy of all life, can summon unholy abominations to do their bidding, and seek to destroy the vigil above all else…[/quote]
[quote]« Initially, it was more like zombies and vampires, but once I got the story rolling it became bigger. This Lovecraftian aspect started emerging, with this bigger threat outside trying to be let in, » Šejić said.
So far, he’s taken two approaches to the beasts attacking the mortal realm.
« There are so called ‹ archetype beasts › – they have a pattern to their form and how they fight and the vigil knows what they are, » Šejić explained. « But then there are ‹ chaos beasts, › ones that were never touched by purpose. That thing that exits the tear at the end of the first issue is one of those, an unformed litch. »[/quote]
