Amelia Cole #18: Talking WIth the Creative Team About…THAT Ending

Amelia Cole

The series, which takes place in the space between worlds, split some of its lead characters between settings at the end of this most recent arc, “The Enemy Unleashed,” and it promises huge changes for the upcoming fourth volume of the fan-favorite series.

As always, writers Adam P. Knave and D.J. Kirkbride joined ComicBook.com for a discussion of the issue.

DJK: APK: The Council have to be pretty dim that they didn’t see a trick coming with whatever she was doing to Lemmy, doin’t they? APK: DJK: Is that shot of him revived the first splash page in the series? Obviously they don’t play quite the same in digital… APK: DJK: APK: DJK: Was their “you have the will but not the power” comment a deliberate callback to last issue when Hector said something similar about how she beat him? DJK: APK: Even the Council just call Hector “Former Protector.” Man, he’s got it rough. DJK: APK: APK: DJK: Hector, of course, is now kinda the Amelia figure from the first issue a little bit. He’s got magic but living in “our” world, actually using it would probably be unwise unless absolutely necessary, right? DJK: APK: That said, is Lemmy the last magical being left in the Unknown World? APK: DJK:

This volume blew by. Is there going to be a time anytime soon when we can settle down for a minute and take stock of all the chaos that’s been going on?

DJK: That’s an interesting question. The book does keep getting more and more action-packed, and we also love the quiet moments. At this point, it’s such a roller coaster for Amelia, with incredibly high stakes. She’s not they type of person to just have a sit down and rest when work needs to be done. That being said, everyone needs occasional downtime to take a breath, whether they like it or not.
