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.
Nominate TrevorAMueller.com in the 2009 Web Comic List Reader’s Choice Awards (no need to sign up, but it helps if you put in some info so they know you’re not a spambot). I’d take any nominations, but I’m specifically looking for:
- Best Writing
- The Innovation Award
- Best Supporting Character – Susie (or the crazy cat lady…or the waiter)

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!
The ol’ Wishing Tree. Seems a lot of people have been buried there in this story. It appears that the Order covered up the assassination attempt by Sophia, and no one else in the world is the wiser.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Last page of this story is next week, and then we get started on “Assassin!”

My Site and Drunk Duck
Holy boobs! That’s right, Sophia had to remove her dressings and her shirt in order for someone to get in there and help redress her injured ribs. Most of that blood isn’t hers, though. It’s her sisters.
Sounds like her suicide mission is something that we’ve seen before. I fear that this story parallels the original Temple story a little too closely in terms of plot points, but at least I was able to divide up the beats a bit better. This story feels like it flows better, has more action and adventure, and is overall a more fun story to read. The first story suffered from some slower periods. It’s amazing what you can learn about writing in 8 years.
Wizard world was a blast, and I hope to have pictures posted to the blog soon. I may also try to turn some of them into a photo story arc for my other comic, @$$hole!, but we shall see.
Speaking of @$$Hole!, the comic was nominated for two Drunk Duck Awards this year:
1) Best Photo Comic (second year in a row)
2) Best Socio/Political Comic
Thanks to all who read and voted!
