. He and Calero met because Dennis had illustrated Todd's character from ''
Heroes'' into an online comic based on the series. The two decided to collaborate on their own title which is being self-published once a week in traditional serialized strip form on Stashwick's personal website.
''Devil Inside'' tells "the story of Jack Springheel. aka The Devil, who has a crisis of conscience. He blasts out of hell and lands in the Nevada desert. He does not want to go back, he wants to quit. But there are forces conspiring to drag him back to hell. If he doesn't use his mojo he stays off the grid and they can't find him. But he is the Devil after all and old habits die hard, not using his powers proves more difficult than he thought. A man caught between what he is and what he wants to be. He's trying to stay one step ahead of his adversaries."

Syfy channel with their pilot ''Clandestine''. The two will develop and write the pilot script for the swashbuckling space adventure drama. They will also serve as co-executive producers.
