"When the opportunity presented itself all of these years later to explore not the act of sin, but more importantly the behaviors we crazy kids present when dealing with each other on, a daily basis, the Seven Deadlies beacame a consistent resource as to why we do what we do. Not because I necessarily believe in the Dogma. However the more we delve into why we do what we do, what are the causes, and what is the outcome, there are interesting and familiar outcomes. With that said, who are we to be defining the sins of others? I don't know the answer but I've had such fun trying to decipher the what's and the why's. In the first two stories in the series we will be exploring the definitions of Envy and Greed. More accurately we will be asking the question, can these words be truly and clearly defined at all?"-Stephen Riordan
