Whew, that was a good arc, if I do say so myself! It’s good to be done with it, though, and to move onto the next thing. In this case, we’re not moving on to the next arc of Elf Blood, but instead to a single-block arc of a new work of mine, Mei Wu. Fear not! If you enjoy Elf Blood, I think you’ll enjoy Mei Wu as well – it’s more modern urban fantasy action, but instead of the Central European/North American flavouring of EB, instead it has a disinctly Cantonese theme and setting! It’ll also become a print work soon after, with extra content specially created for the paid-for version!

Anyway, to round off the Crush Depth arc, I’d just like to say thanks to the real Nabeel for letting me steal his name for this arc’s antagonist/victim! The real Nabeel is a stand-up guy, a real bro, who’s ten times the engineer I could ever hope to be. He’s also one of my art and writing’s most fervent supporters and promoters, and I owe him a hell of a lot!

I’d also like to thank the real Areej; I haven’t seen her in years, and I hope she won’t mind me naming a character in her honour! The real Areej is a brave individual, never afraid to speak her mind, and to stand up for those she cared for.

Anyway, toodlepip for now! See you on Friday for the first cover, hopefully of many, of the very first issue of Mei Wu!
