Here’s a single page summing up the two previous prequels in this series, to help catch new readers up to speed – and also so everyone else doesn’t have to re-read everything that came before to know what’s going on. Assassin starts next week with a cover by myself, and then we’ll get right into the thick of it. Tell your friends.
Assassin takes place before, during, and after the events of Hikari, by the by, so some of the details may be nice to know from that story – but shouldn’t be necessary. Some half conversations will be completed, and the locations of some characters (like where was Malukai during Sophia’s attack) should be answered.
Still deciding if I want to put the extended Bushido story in before the finale in Holy War, but I have some time to figure that one out.
In the meantime, I’m going back to writing scripts. I’m so behind….
Later!

Just a reminder that the next story arc needs a few weeks to get going, so in the meantime I’m posting some supplemental materials. To tease a bit about the up coming Assassin story arc from Olivia, here are some of her sketches for Seymour and Marielle. Next week will be some additional bonus content. Comic should start in late December.
I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

Xen is an arms dealer after all, so it makes sense that he would look forward to a war. A war that we will see happen in Holy War, but that’s a little ways down the road yet. Still need to tell the next prequel, “Assassin,” and then possibly the last of Sophia’s stories (which includes the previously announced Bushido story), and then we’ll be there at the last chapter.
I hope you enjoyed the ride, and I’ll see you all next week for the next prequel chapter.
Also, in case you didn’t know, last Thursday was my birthday.

A body double, eh? Milikin’s a sneaky guy. And what was Malukai doing that he couldn’t be there to protect him? Clearly it wasn’t attacking a Hikari stronghold, since they don’t know where it’s located.
The plot thickens, but these are questions for a later story….

And now we know why I was originally going to call this story “Genocide.” I’ll explain it all at the beginning of the next book, I think, in a “Previously” section, but here’s my synopsis:
Milikin rose to power by assassinating everyone in his path and had been wagging a secret war against the Hikari ever since. His justification is this prophecy that the gods left with Abraham, but Sophia could give two craps about that – she’s just sticking up for her people and avenging her sister’s death.
But wait, if she just chopped off his hands and he has two hands in the original Temple story….hmmmmmmmmmmm….

We’re only pages away from the climactic ending to this chapter of the prequels.
Is he bluffing? Is she going to go through with it? Find out next week!

DUH DUH DUN!
If you recall from the original Temple story, Seymour said that he “was more of a lover than a fighter,” and here’s why. The guy was forced to kill innocents, and then he went to the one place that he thought he could receive penance for his actions – and it turns out that we know that the very place is where the ones responsible have been all along!
Seymour is very confused at this point in his life, and we’ll find out more about that in his prequel story (which Olivia and I have already started working on). The next story is called “Assassin,” and it’s going to take place during and after this very story here. It’ll follow Seymour and Marielle, and fill in some more of the gaps that abound from the original story.
If you think Sophia is bad ass, just wait until you see some of the stuff that Olivia’s working on for this story!

Anyone else seeing some parallels here? Will history repeat itself…?

The first self-published book for @$$hole! premiered this weekend at Reactor (September 18-20) in Rosemont, Il. It collects the 41 page black and white story of Laura’s 21st Birthday. The book is going to be 52 pages and has an original cover, some new artwork, guest strips, an afterword by the creator (that’s me), and a forward by Josh Elder (Josh from TokyoPOP).
On top of that and all the tasks associated with printing the book, I’ve also gotten a table at Mid-Ohio Comic Con (October 3-4 in Columbus, OH) with Rival Angels creator Alan Evans. We’ll be hanging out with The Dreamer creator Lora Innes, and several other comic creators. Not sure on any speaking schedule while there, but I’m working on it. More to follow.
