Okay, so that’s maybe not the best title for the next miniseries–but it’s a pretty accurate relationship of what they’ve got going on in this arc–The Hidden War–as the previous Protector spends some time in a barren, monster-infested desert battling on behalf of the Council and Magistrate that fired him and hired Amelia Cole–whom they want dead.ComicBook.com spoke with series writers Adam P. Knave and D.J. Kirkbride about the latest issue, out now on ComiXology. This is a spoiler-filled conversation, so if you haven’t read the book already, buy it and read along with us!First off, we get our friendly neighborhood creepy wraiths. they don’t really do “big picture,” do they?APK: The Council have more going on than you can see in that scene. They can be distracted. But also they’re just frustrated, you know? Look at the last arc. Suddenly, at least from our point of view, things are going Not Their Way. They may not be used to that…DJK: As far as big pictures, they might see in a picture the Magistrate can’t even fathom. In his mind he has everything under control, but to them he really has no idea what “everything” really is. It’s a horrible working relationship.I like the device of cutting back and forth between Protectors 1 and 2 in terms of the voiceover. Is that something you’ll be continuing throughout the Hidden War or something special to this chapter?
