Full disclosure:
I fucked up big time.
Comics for February are so delayed that I will not be able to deliver them until mid-March, at least. That's not any of the artists' fault even, this time. That's all on me.
Ever since I took a few weeks off for the new year's holiday, I haven't been a properly productive person. A lot more has happened since then, ranging from dealing with my close family steamrolling several health emergencies to now seeing the world turning to a shitty global state of war... And all that came in between... Depression kicked in.
And I was aware of it. I told you guys there would be some delays and all, but... I didn't expect to be so restrained creatively to produce. I'm working on that now. Doing therapy and into some medications to get me in shape again. It's promising, but may still take some time to go back to normal.
So, comics... What does all that mean for them?
- SPIDER-SEX #2 - It's a bit delayed, but it's now wholly on Llama's hand to finish. Most of the inks are done, and I should have the usual full sneak preview for it in a few days, and it may be ready for release by the first week of March.
- SCIONS #2 - It's not that advanced. To be fully transparent, I still haven't sent all page descriptions to Thomas. He's been doing art for the first pages but, for the life of me, I just couldn't find the creative energy to work on this for several weeks. The bright side is that despite being slow, it's moving forward. I can assure you that it will come, somewhat sooner than much later. I'm completely embarrassed about it, but right now, it's looking like it'll be delivered around the 3rd or 4th week of March. I'm terribly sorry.
- MARCH RELEASES - They'll be revealed in the next few days. And the good news is they're much less delayed than the Feb releases. You can all thank the awesome Lety Does Stuff for that because she's the one helping me keep those on a promising schedule.
- APRIL RELEASES - Also because of Lety, they seem to be on schedule for the time being. I'll update you guys if that changes.
I understand the frustration you're probably getting right now, and if you don't want these delayed comics anymore, you can ask me for a refund on what you already paid. Just do know that if you still want these, they will come, even if late. I never left a comic undelivered, and this won't be the first time.
Delays happen, and I'm aware this is a particularly bad one, but I'm committed always to deliver good stories. I own my fuck ups, and I'm working to fix them. One way of doing so was to ensure the Feb delays didn't affect March and April ones. That did make Feb a bit more complicated, but it prevented a worsening snowball of complications.
I am grateful for your support, and be sure I'll keep owning up my accountability. It just may take a little longer for things to get fully normalized. Until then, I'm here, maybe not doing my very best, but accomplishing the reachable possible.
Kindly,
Tracy.
