JMS AT RASTB5M SAID:
JAN.6.2003
[Midnight Nation] something that I
poured a lot of emotion into, a lot of personal feelings and history and beliefs, covering
life, death, religion, god, how we achieve meaning...all balanced against a cross-country quest
by two people, one out to reclaim his soul, the other a woman sent to help him or kill him,
depending on how the story ends up.
It is also, oddly enough, a love story.
It's one of the things I'm proudest of as a writer, and I commend it to anyone who found the
ideas in Babylon 5 of interest. And the art by Gary Frank is just
gorgeous, and evocative, and full of emotion.
It's a nifty little story. Honest.

MONICA'S REVIEW:
Wow, the suspense has been turned on high since there are only three more issues left to
go. JMS really has a knack for leaving us hanging after every issue and this one is certainly
no exception.
You may also be wondering why the images of the WTC towers remained on the cover. I for one
am glad they kept them on there. The note on the inside cover explains that "it's
because the events in this book take place before 09/11/01—P.S."
