This is it! The last page!

I have so much more work to do to get it ready for publication, starting with giving the library an unreasonable amount of money to print the whole thing out so I can take editing notes, but for now, join me in celebrating! I drew a whole comic! Twelve-year-old me with her collection of drawing books (it was the era before YouTube tutorials) would be so proud.

I’ll be working on editing for probably the next month or two. After that, I’m starting a new book (more on that later) and planning Volume 2. Thanks for sticking with me until the end, and I hope you continue to do so! I have lots more of this story that I’m excited to show you.

Here it is, the penultimate page! It’s a dense one. Stop by tomorrow for the conclusion of this volume.

There’s some violence implied, but not shown. Full page below:

All four of our protagonists are in one panel! And, as you’ll see, we’ve just about come full circle from the beginning.

Two pages remain!

There’s some cool action on this page, but I think you mostly want to see the cat.

I have a keyboard with a number pad, but the alt-codes for special characters don’t seem to work. I have to copy/paste the O with a macron (ō) into Photoshop. I do make sure that the num lock is on. Does Windows 11 have different alt-codes?

Anyway, three pages remain!

Some more blood on this page. Find the full version below:

I’m writing to you from the local library, because the internet is out at my house, and Spectrum estimates they’ll get back to me sometime on Sunday about when it will be up. Thanks, Spectrum.

Four pages remain!

The teahouse fight continues, so expect some blood. Full page below:

Action poses are so much fun but so difficult.

Five pages remain! They might get posted late in the day, but they will be posted on schedule!

It’s been tens of pages (and therefore many weeks) since we’ve had a proper fight scene, so I hope you’re ready for the last, climactic battle of this volume.

Six pages remain!

As you might expect, the full page contains blood and violence. Find it below:

A new kind of magic? We’ll explore it more in later volumes, but for now, know that it is a thing.

Seven pages remain!

For now, have a little glimpse into the political nonsense of the setting, and get ready for the next big fight.

I wouldn’t blame you if you thought that I forgot about the demons, but don’t worry, they’re still relevant. Politically, in particular.

We are counting down! Nine pages remain after this.
