Popular comic book site Comic Book Resourse recently sat down with John Jackson Miller, the writer of the Kotor comic, to discuss the upcoming “Vindication” story-line. Here’s an excerpt:

The one thing that is certain is “Vindication” will be a pivotal moment for the series. “‘Vindication’ brings together a lot of faces we haven’t seen in a while in a sequence in which many of the threads we’ve developed converge on one important spot at one pivotal time,” Miller said. “Is it the right place at the right time, finally? We’ll see — but we know Zayne’s track record at that!”
