So, I doubt anyone reads this anymore, but I’ll leave this comment here anyway. “the Mercadian Affair” is… gone. I’m done fucking around with this particular story. None of the edits I wanted to make are making it any better, the art is inconsistent, and to make matters worse, few seem to like it all that much anyway. At least, the way it is currently presented. And y’know what? I don’t blame ‘em. So, it’s history.
My plan is to get a book version of it out by the end of the year. But don’t hold your breath just yet. My publisher, Stonegarden.Net has gone tits up. they cease operations September 1. (so if you were planning on getting “The Admiral’s Daughter”, the book that is the prequel to the story “Maveen” on this site, do it now. Just look up Starship Moonhawk on Amazon.) So it looks like I’m going to have to hire an editor and crap out three new books sometime in the next 12 months. Yay…
I’m not currently updating any of my comics except “Ship in a Bottle”. The current artist is pretty amazing, so you might want to check it out. In the meantime, please check this space periodically. Who knows. I might surprise you.

The latest Chapter in the Starship Moonhawk Origins series is available from Amazon in Kindle form! “How to Steal a Starship” is the flagship book in a series of proposed novels where I show the early adventures of our heroes before they were famous! Assuming we have decent enough sales, I will be making a new book at least every year until the entire tale is told. Enjoy!
I have a few things on my plate that will put “The Mercadian Affair” on temporary hold. First, I have a three page comic commission I am struggling with. Second, I have a script I am working on for White Lightning that I have had for more than six months. The third item, and this is pretty big, is that I am finally finishing “The Fire and the Forge”. I am trying to have print books available for KamiCon, but it is far more likely I will be able to have them ready for Megacon. The book will first be readable here on the site for free, and then purchasable in paperback, exclusively (for the time being). Since the events in this book set up the events in “The Mercadian Affair”, I figured it was high time to complete it at last.
So, some kind of updates will resume when that is completed. Just letting everyone know!

I’ve added or “fixed” another 9 pages. Feel free to check “The Mercadian Affair” storyline. I replaced those dastardly pages with the red X’s on them, two more of the missing Act III pages are up, and I color corrected the uniforms on the first two of Nekoshiei’s pages from Act IV. I’m going to have to wait for Marie to get the rest that I did not do because there are some special effects in the way. But otherwise, we’re on track!
Notes regarding the story:
-Rachael on the bridge in Act IV and V were once canon. But I changed the story so she goes with Cobalt. So until Marie fixes the colors, the redhead is actually a Middle-Eastern brunette named “Commander Sarah Izza”.
-At the end of Act III, Adm. Cobalt learns that his son Kraz is dead, but then he discovers Milea is his daughter. (hardly spoiler if you saw this before)
-The final fate of the Horizon is a mystery that will be revealed at the end of Act III. Sorry, no spoiler there. ;p
If you’ve browsed through the archives lately, you might have noticed a lot of ker-fuckery going on up in this piece. What you are bearing witness to is the final effort to restore some dignity and integrity to this here fine comic establishment. To wit, I have taken all of my “3.0″ pages of “The Mercadian Affiar”, and combined them with all of the pages I commissioned between Marie Tary and Nekoshiei, and now I am a mere 55 or so pages from finishing the whole damn thing.
In the short term, this means we have a slightly bomb-blasted archive where various elements skip over one-another and as yet, there is no ending or Epilogue. But this will change soon, my friends. Ohhh, yes. My plan is to get those 55 pages done… nah. Why spoil the surprise. Just keep checking back.
Oh, and I almost forgot: the last two pages of Act V (you can find them under the tag “Act V”) are new, never-seen-before. So if you are wondering where the updates are, well…. you’re welcome.
