Death is only the beginning of true evil…

We finally got to the end the story of the king of shadows,

Now we come to the final resolution that sees the fight between Lazarus and Shane explode.

This one really plays into the idea that things are never always what they seem. For better or worse, Shane fills in a lot of the blanks with intuition and deduction.

But maybe that’s not always enough when it comes to a being like Lazarus that has been around for centuries.

We wanted to bring some familiar faces here, characters we didn’t know well before, even if it seemed like some of them had been more dead than dead for a while. That is the power of Lazarus and the mysterious metal, selenium.

Much of the inspiration for this came from the idea of ​​a road trip to say goodbye to someone who has passed. Ian once drove cross-country with a friend to scatter the ashes of someone who had passed away, and it brought back memories of things said and done on the same road and in the same places they traveled.

It’s revisiting how things were towards the final goodbye, which can be bittersweet whether ghosts are involved or not.

Here’s hoping the walk down memory lane resonates, with the final conflict answering some questions while raising new ones that Shane will have to grapple with in more detail in the future.
