Folks,
there's a huge benefit to a Novelist also writing comics, and that's the importance of a mutli-dimensional supporting cast. As is evident with Atticus' stable. It also allows for plots / sub plots - of which (a good) comic writer has the best expertise in. Besides the ones we know and love (Erika, Bridie, Natalie (rip), Dale, etc - we haven't met his parents or siblings yet. "That" would be interesting, as he seeks redemption but keeps falling into the abyss of the other direction.
Regarding 'solo' projects - again it's mining a rich comic writers vein. Although I've read 100s of books, Shooting stands unique as it's two books in one - and loved it.

: Exactly Danny well said. I just had this really different picture in my head and it messed me up a bit there. lol
: I'm crossing fingers we'll see them in Walking Dead too.
: : I agree with you! Getting used to Atticus' new status quo was hard at first. As it turned out Patriot Acts was nothing like I expected it to be, but now looking back I think it was my expectations that were screwed up. What did I think was going to happen after Critical Space?
: : I really felt the absence of the rest of the supporting cast a lot. But there wasn't really any other way it could have happened. Hopefully we'll see them in Walking Dead
