While the first arc that Spencer is writing was primarily done with just himself and Kirkman, later arcs had more writers involved, collaborating on the breakdowns of the plot, asking questions and assigning the actual scripting to different writers after everyone has gone over the idea and made appropriate suggestions. In a departure from the norm in comic writing, Kirkman and Spencer and several other writers yet to be announced are collectively working on the series similarly to how most TV shows are written via a writer's room. Nick Spencer talked about the concept of Thief of Thieves, how a master criminal decides to go straight and deal with the consequences of not knowing where his professional life as a thief ends and his personal life begins. Assume that I've just made a clever gag about timeliness and Kirkman and Image United. The Skybound panel featured Thief of Thieves co-writer Nick Spencer, Witch Doctor writer Brandon Seifert, Skybound editorial assistant Sina Grace (who also draws Lil' Depressed Boy) and a late arriving Robert Kirkman. Both panels effectively blended into one continuous whole as Kirkman held court first with fellow Skybound creators and later on his lonesome. A new Witch Doctor: Mal Practice miniseries was the big announcement of the Skybound panel at Image Comics Expo, followed by the stealth announcement of a second Walking Dead novel in the follow-up Kirkman solo panel.
