Top Cow's 2011 group of Pilot Season titles boasts a number of impressive names, but only one can be seen on television every Sunday. Lance Briggs, whose "Pilot Season: Seraph" just came out, also happens to be a linebacker for the Chicago Bears. A lifelong comic book fan, Number 55 has teamed with writer Phil Hester and artist Jose Luis to tell the tale of Seraph, a man who, after trying to kill himself, discovers that not only is he not dead, he's been imbued with supernatural powers.
While on a trip to Top Cow headquarters, the company expressed interest in the concept of "Seraph," an idea Briggs had in his head for a while. The football pro immediately set to work on a bible for the series, resulting in about 30 characters and various scenarios that Hester combed through to develop their Pilot Season one-shot in hopes that it will be the gateway for a full series. CBR News spoke with Briggs about the book's origin, the main character's demons and the story's larger themes of religion and faith.
