This January, Steve has a rather unusual one-shot coming from Image Comics called “Pieces For Mom: A Tale of the Undead” with artist Andrew Ritchie. Last Friday, Steve talked about “Pieces for Mom” with Comic Book Resources:

“Not to knock anyone who’s doing this - and I’ve done it myself with ‘Remains’ - but everyone’s read the survival story at this point,” Niles told CBR News. “So, for me I wanted to play with some other themes within a zombie world and add an extra layer. With ‘Remains,’ the subtext was about relationships and how difficult they can be and what causes jealousy and how two people who absolutely hate each other can still be jealous. Things like that. With ‘Pieces for Mom,’ I really wanted to play with the family dynamic because I felt if a situation like this did ever happen, I think it would be something like this. Just because the world has ended, it doesn’t mean you’d stop fighting with your brother.”
