And with this final, tremendous battle cry, Rathik’s journey has come to its conclusion–perhaps the only conclusion that was possible given Rathik’s proclivity toward violence and his desire to live up to his family name. It would appear that even with all his strength and skill, his family name did little to protect him in the end. Ironically, he appears doomed to share Sratha’s very same fate.

Our sincerest apologies for the delayed page last week–this summer has conspired in many ways to confound our schedule, but we are hopefully coming to the end of such shenanigans. At least until the holiday season ramps up here in the States in mid-November, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it!

We’ve talked about the Patreon a little bit, and we’ve received some wonderful messages of support from readers about one. We’re dedicated to getting one spun up, but will likely wait until the page schedule is in a little better of a spot.

We also have some near-term goals to begin posting the Song of the Eastern Sands chapter of Western Deep on the popular Webtoon service, and also to get the digital versions of Volume One and Volume Two on Amazon’s Comixology platform to allow readers to purchase it from there for their e-readers and tablets.

Also, we finally got our table assignment for the upcoming Rose City Comic Convention taking place in Portland, Oregon in just a handful of weeks!

From September 10th through September 12th, Rachel and I will be at table O-4 in Artist Alley and we’ll have all sorts of cool merch on offer, from Volume 1 and 2, the pin sets from the Kickstarter campaigns, our famed Sharkhunter print, and even T-SHIRTS!

That’s right, the shirt design based on our Kickstarter Limited Edition cover is going to be available in ULTRA LIMITED QUANTITIES at Rose City Comic Con for the very first time!

As for where exactly O-4 is, here’s a map with some subtle directions emblazoned therein:

See you all next week!
