This is brainchild of actor Creator/ThomasJane in conjunction to Steve Niles, Bruce Jones and Tim Bradstreet. [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs The premise was literally conceived on drugs]] as Janes was hopped on Vicodin following a car accident, where he dreamed about [[SpidersAreScary horrible alien deathspiders]]. The first issue was released in December 2005 with planned 12-issues though [[ScheduleSlip a very irregular schedule with the most recent issue being released on 2013]].
