Temple is going on a temporary hiatus for a while. Both Olivia and I thank you so much for reading and hope that you have enjoyed the stories her and I have been toiling over for the past 2 years. Me telling them with my words, and her telling them with her pictures.
But not to worry, this is not the end…but the beginning!
For now, though, we’re taking a break.
Thanks again!
Marielle starts kicking the crap out of some Bishops, showing off some of her bad ass assassin skills.

I’m a guest of honor at ACEN this weekend (in Rosemont, Il), and I’ll be sharing that status with comic greats such as Russell Lissau, Josh Elder, The Brothers Moy, Paul Sizer, and Misako Rocks!.
It’s a great honor, and I’ll be on several panels all weekend, plus attending various events – and will also have a table somewhere on the floor. Be sure to look for me at the show!
A narrow escape from a beating right there, but Seymour and Marielle are not out of the woods yet. This is where the action begins, folks. Time for some ass-kicking!

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I’ve been a busy guy. I just started a new job today at another agency, and I’m super stoked for it. I can’t really go into details, but I’m essentially doing the same thing I have been (media planning), but now on a brand new client that really excites me. Opportunity abounds!
Reviews are coming back again. I have a back-log of titles I’ve been meaning to review for a while now, and they should be coming out on a semi-regular basis again. Sorry for the delays, folks. Life took priority.
Also, I’ve just joined a paid online dating website. Fingers crossed that the experience is more positive than the free sites have been. Otherwise, I have new content for @$$hole!
Be sure to stop back (or subscribe to the RSS) tomorrow and Thursday for more reviews, and Wednesday and Friday for more comics!
The comics have been updating on time, I’ve just been swamped playing host to the greatest group of friends in the world. This past weekend was C2E2, and I had Russell Lissau, Joe Dunn, Phil Chan, Steve Wallace, and the brother’s Heinowski staying with me for the event. It was a fun time, and great to get to hang out with my comic friends.
And entire weekend of geeking out with your best buds is fantastic…but also exhausting.
I plan to do a convention review soon (once I finish compiling pictures from everyone), so be on the look out. In the meantime, be sure to check out last week’s @$$hole! pages as well as today’s Temple page.
Later!

@$$hole! and Temple and laptops, oh my!
April 12th, 2010 | by TrevorSo a lot’s been going on in my world lately, and sadly I’m not able to get into details on many of the items, but there’s good news and bad news.
The bad news is that I find myself back in the job pool, hunting for work and finding an agency where my skills and experience can be utilized to their fullest. Unfortunately I can’t get into further details on this (and those who know me know that I love to rant), but for now I try to see this as a blessing in disguise. Namely, because I may have time to start reviewing movies and games again.
The good news is that I went out and bought a new laptop. Since the computer that I had been using was a work laptop (and a Mac at that, which kept crashing any Microsoft programs that I had to run every day), upon trying to turn on my old personal laptop I came to the conclusion that it was just too old and too slow for the purposes that I needed it.
The new device is father sleek, fast, and efficient. In fact, it’s technically better than my desktop computer – which is 7+ years old and I never sign it on the internet anymore. Mostly because if I ever did, it would shut down and never work again. There’s just not enough space on it for any more Windows updates, and since it’s not going online it doesn’t really need any updates.
So last week Friday another @$$hole! uploaded, continuing the adventure of Carl trying to stop the evil Michael Eisner. And today a new Temple story went live, where we see Seymour (who we know is not a fighter) getting into a scrape with some Bishops in the Capital City market streets.
This week I’m prepping for C2E2, and I’ll talk a bit more later this week about my convention exclusive print (to promote my story in the upcoming Reading with Pictures anthology), as well as my signings and panel schedule. Then next month I’ll be a guest of honor at ACEN, which is one of the most fun shows that I go to every year! Gonna be a blast!
Anime Milwaukee was a blast. I’m totally exhausted, but had a fun time hanging out with Alan at the table and being on panels and meeting all the cool people who attended. I’ll do a con report for Tuesday’s update to let everyone know how it went.
So it looks like Kidjo was delayed on his way to take out Portis, which is why Sophia and Selphi got there first (see Hikari). And since Marielle and Kidjo have met in person, this explains why she was able to recognize him in the original story.
See, no plot holes here.
Temple: Assassin 4
January 4th, 2010 | by TrevorBack to the old man narrator…but who could he be talking to (we’ll find out in this story)? Has he been talking to this person all along throughout the prequel stories? How did he get his hands on Marielle’s personal diary? And why is this information so important…?
Finally, by popular demand, Marielle’s fateful events in her own words.
Happy 2010, everyone!
Be sure to tune in on January 12 (8pm central time) for my live interview on TGT Webcomics. We’ll be talking about The Temple of a Thousand Tears and you can ask questions via call-in or the talkshoe chat room. Ever wanted your questions answered by the creator of a comic series? Now’s your chance!
