Creatures of Habit was the planned third comic in the Faction Paradox series. This was derailed by the cancellation of the Faction Paradox comic.
Lawrence Miles finished writing Creatures of Habit before Political Animals was published,[1] and he had a definite plan for at least nineteen issues of the comic, somehow involving North American cannibalism.[2]
However, according to Mad Norwegian Press publisher Lars Pearson, the comic was cancelled in 2003 for three reasons: the superhero domination of the market; the restructuring of Image Comics; and the immense cost and manpower involved in doing a comic "when we could be doing something else." Lars also said "it's virtually certain that [the story]'ll be completed in some form." [3]
Fourteen years later, when asked if he would share details about his plan for the comic, Miles said, "Oh, thank you for asking. But I'd rather not go back there. I may want to live in the past (given current awfulness), but not my own past."[4]
Publisher's summary
Events quickly whip themselves into a frothy bloodbath, as the strongarm of the British Secret Service, named the Ratcatchers, try to capture Mayakatula much to their chagrin - not to mention repeated disembowelment. Meanwhile, Sabbath has an impromptu duel, and Mother Francesca has a colorful, albeit somewhat civilized discussion with a prostitute in a bar. It's more fun and skull-faced merriment in Faction Paradox #3, "Creatures of Habit", from your buds at Image and Mad Norwegian Press.
