...In May, 2007 (issue #90.)
http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/ ... /index.htm

I got hooked on the series back in '97. I followed it consistently until about 6 months ago. The story just seemed too repetitive for my tastes. I think Terry should've finished the story two or three years ago.

I will keep an eye out for it in May of next year to see how things get resolved.

I know Terry did some stuff for Image ( I think it was Lady Supreme ... which I thought was awful. ) I did like the SiP trade I picked up a while back, though.

Any idea what he's going to be doing next?

Terry didn't say in the Comics Continuum article. He's got 16 months or so to figure it out, though.

For a while there Terry was doing assorted projects including a Buffy spin-off mini-series and (I think) a one-shot or two for DC. I haven't seen his name outside of SIP in a while.

I almost posted this news myself, but after hearing about the IMWAN tradition of shooting the messenger, I figured I only was allowed SO much leeway for this being my birthday!

What they neglected to mention, Eddie, is that THIS is what we shoot 'em with:

So, no worries! :)

I think he probably should have finished it up long before that. Every time he ventured back into the mafia story, I drifted further and further from the book. I think Dave Sim pegged it best when the storyline was introduced, it was a fairly unneeded plot being imposed on a charming soap opera. I think I called it a day when they revealed the link between the two muscular woman and Katchoo (I totally forget what it was now), which struck me as gilding the ol' turd.

Just read the whole thing from beginning to end in 3 days. I loved it. Even the spy bits.

Great, great series. The first fan letter I every wrote, well fan email I ever typed was to Terry Moore around issue 5. Would have loved for it to have been made into a show on HBO.
