Ok. Act III of “The Mercadian Affair” is “restored” so to speak. And that is to say that, with only some minor tweaks and adjustments, I have put back up the second half as it originally rolled in 2007. I know, it seems like a waste to have all that newer artwork preceding it, only to “cheap out”, but in the end only two things really matter anymore: the story, and getting it all done so there isn’t a gaping hole in my early archive anymore. I mean, it’s obvious: I moved on long ago. But it always nagged me that I didn’t finish it. I’ve written three novels and numerous short stories. I completed “Maveen” and “Surrender” and I have a polished script for “Made in the USA”. But this thing and the hodge-podge of artists and collaborators who tried to help me make it happen have plagued me now since Spring of 2001. It’s time to finally close the door on this chapter of Starship Moonhawk. It’s time to finally lay it to rest and let the world decide if the effort was in vain or not.
At any rate, I think I am going to attempt to move forward with the current storyline and add pages of the final act of “The Mercadian Affair” as I can and wrap this beast up once and for all. then maybe we all can finally move on to greener pastures.
Thanks for sticking with me all these years. Your patience will soon be rewarded.

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.
