Description
so, a few things to cover here.1 sunstone volume 6, first chapter of mercy storyarc will be in print and on sales starting this november.
mercy will have about 10 chapters. i decided to reevaluate my cutoff points as over 300 pages would give me a lot of trouble with some european publishing formats, and since i do have good points sot split the volumes, all in all the reading experience won't suffer. so it will be roughly 200 pages long. about 180 pages of comic (more than twice of sunstone v1) and about 20 pages of some fun bonus content.
2 swing
swing is a story written in the same shared universe as sunstone and blood stain, and connected in pretty much the same way, as in, the characters play the same mmo together. it's a story written by Matt Hawkins, and his wife Jenni Cheung, with art by calisto-lynn
you can read a bunch of it already here
calisto-lynn.deviantart.com/ga…
and amazon has their preorders opened here
www.amazon.com/Swing-1-Matt-Ha…
and of course in comic stores and book stores where available. given the nature of the book preorders are the only insurance you got. like with sunstone. what can i say, welcome to the comics industry XD
3 Letters to the vampire queen.
for the few of you interested in how this is going. broke 70 pages last night. in the process of the final rewrite and then having another beta reader go over it to see if it all makes sense to them and after that i'll see about uploading a few chapters here, every now and then.
4 mercy next update
around may 4th. i'm guessing around ten to 15 pages for this one, and then about ten for next one. i got a nice cutoff point these so i don't need to overkill it on the length.
that's about that. see you all soon

i know its pretty entitled from my part to ask this
but could you write sort of a novel to wrap up SWITCH?
i just discovered it and i feel pretty bad that i couldnt support it when it still mattered

I concur. It needs a proper send off. That was such a fun story to read, and the art was phenomenal, as always.

(Also, totally looking forward to the vampire queen.)

Oops, didnt even notice you replied to that (the point there was, that its never on time so instead of may I already expected you to put it ln june, when you realise, youre out of time

krios008's being optimistic (yes, and a bit sarcastic) by saying "june". It'll be september.
Those of us who've stayed with Sunstone through the years know perfectly well the great talent of the artist and the complete absurdity of his delivery date predictions. Some of us have tried to point this out while not passing judgment on the pace of delivery, objecting only to the phenomenon of publicly stating target dates that never come close to being met.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when i break those dates it usually comes paired with me vastly increasing pagecounts and overdelivering.
in this case, pagecount is kept simple as the next strip has a good cutoff point

Much <3 and joy to all of these announcements.
Can't wait to be able to pre-order Mercy, already have Swing ordered and will totally order Letters to the vampire queen if that goes on sale somewhere.
Now to sit back and wait for the next Mercy update.

Ok. so I should go to sleep, so I didnt read it, but as any good internet user I will share my opinion on something I have no clue about: basically you guys made stories and then you made spin-offs, and soon those spin-offs will have their own spin-offs.

Thank you for this fucking brilliant update 
Cant wait 'till I move into my new place, so I can preorder Swing

And, Death Vigil. We did see Lisa and Ally in the background first issue. Apparently, they like to dine with necromancers.

I love your updates and look forward to your next steps. Though I do miss the weekly small one-offs you used to give us. It makes it easier to wait as the months go by. Like this one: detention
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, but i made those when i wasn't making a comic. now i have to choose. i will either progress with the story i want to tell, or waste my time on one off stuff. and i don't mean that in any mean way, just objective. i have a certain amount of free time to dedicate to sunstone verse. i have to pick my battles as to what i want to do. i can be easily distracted and just mess around or i can focus and get the story rolling.
i choose to focus on the story as that already contains stuff like the image in question and far more of them
especially past this point XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Total understand. I'm hooked at this point either way.

Can we hold up our hopes for Mercy to be released as hardcover, like those amazing hardcovers for sunstone?
I know it will be like... 5 years wait, but well worth it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
can't promise anything as the book has to sell enough for me to justify it to the publisher. best i can say is, fingers crossed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I shall cross all of them... maybe even some toes. Will be hard to walk with toes crossed, but it'll be worth it.
I just love the design of the hardcovers and am looking forward to each Mercy update. :3
