Hi, sorry for the absence... I've had a hell of a last few weeks... truth to tell, my father passed on the saturday before last. I won't angst on about it here, I have a shrink and very good friends who are kind enough to let me vent such sadness upon them.

About Final Blasphemy... Well, good news and bad. The bad news is that I've decided to call it quits on the comic. I'm sorry to what fans I have, but too much has happened lately... too much of it was going to be tied into certain aspects of my real life (the plan was, amongst other things, to deconstruct that whole "author avatar" thing prevalent in sprite comics and fairly common in fiction in general) for me to want to continue. Plus, to put it simply, it was too damn big. In case you couldn't tell by the numerous dangling plot threads that still hadn't quite converged, I had a lot planned for the thing. A hell of a lot. In great excess of 100 issues (I was currently at 13). When I conceived of the thing back in high school, this didn't intimidate me, but, well, age has wizened me somewhat. I simply don't have the time or inclination to make something that massive. I love the comic to death and still catch myself plotting for it, but I know I can't possibly write is as originally conceived.

That said, I love the comic simply too much to let it fade away in peace. I AM going to finish it in the next issue. It will probably come off as a bit abrupt, but there simply isn't a choice given my intentions. I don't want to give away too much, but expect an unexpected plot convergence or two... and maybe to be a bit confused by the end. It'll likely be what the good people at TV Tropes like to call a "Gainax Ending." Again, pretty hard to avoid.

I can't say when it'll be finished, as at the moment I'm very busy with school work, dealing with grief, doing a new, but short-term job, and looking for a long-term job, but I'll say maybe late summer. Sometime in mid-to-late August.

So... whatever fans I may have, ready yourselves for my grand finale: Final Blasphemy: Deconstructed/Demolished!

I just discovered Final Blasphemy a few weeks ago and love every minute of it. Your readers will enjoy whatever you make. Take your sweet time with it, too : )
When I was back in high school and middle school I remember my friends and I plotting cool new game ideas when we were younger, but this series takes creativity to a new level.

Don't worry, I enjoyed reading this comic, so I'm willing to wait for it...

I would've enjoyed to see what else was meant to happen, but at least it will still end...

Um, well, in all honesty, probably a while. Summer didn't afford me a lot of time to work on it, due to various things I won't go into, but I at least have an outline done now, and a few pages... I'll probably have a decent amount of time in the coming couple of weeks to get a lot of rough work done (Yes, I do outlines and rough pages for this comic). Also, in my outline, I divided it into five different "Acts", I was thinking, particularly if it starts to take another exorbitant amount of time to get done, of releasing it one act at a time as I finish them. So... It may not be too long before SOMETHING comes out, but perhaps not everything will come out at once. I guess, in effect, making it as if I'm releasing five more issues instead of one... *shrug* It depends on how things go, though. And be prepared, the entirety of FB:D/D will be FAR larger than a normal issue. Probably on par with Issue 10 in terms of size.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is: It'll get done, I won't go all Duke Nukem Forever on you, but it'll probably be a while still. Sorry I didn't get it done within my deadline, though I'm sure no one's surprised by this. :(

Well, not so much condensing as... substantially altering. Maybe fitting things in where I can, and definitely trying to preserve the spirit of the thing, but... yeah. In case you haven't noticed, I've already pretty much missed the deadline I set up there... oh well, it WILL get finished.

Does that mean you're condensing plot from 90 issues down into one? Cause seriously, that's... kind of ridiculous. Oh well, best of luck. (Though I'd really rather see it without the GainaxEnding....)

atleast your finishing it off. That is a lot better than letting it hang open ended.

best of luck
