The next 3 volumes of the story will be a departure from what I've done so far. As mentioned in a previous blog, volumes 10-13 will be different in that rather than push the story forward...it rewinds the story back 33 years. There are 4 featured characters within the "Revelations" arch; A 27 year old Susan Weaving, a 35 year old Malcolm McCall, a 30 year old Arthur Jericho and a 40 year old Franklin Reese. It will also introduce a character mentioned by Jericho in the panels of Stiel Maiden Vol. 6 by the name of "John Arrow". Who he is...I can't reveal as it's not only a surprise...but THE single most important story development (and plot twist) of the series thus far. But don't worry, his reveal is within the very 1st panels of Vol. 10...and figuring out who {and more importantly "what") he is a no brainer from that point on. If you've read Vol. 10, notably the final few pages, the Revelations arch ties directly into that as well. Essentially, we're going backwards to go forwards...because from Vol. 14 onwards the defecation hits the oscillation and it's full steam to the end of the 1st chapter of Stiel Maiden (Which will be volume 20). Now be mindful, vol. 20 is the end of the 1st CHAPTER...not the end of the story. It's always been my plan to make Stiel Maiden a long form, episodic story. There will be an eventual end, but not any time soon. Overall, there will be 5 episodes, consisting of 20 volumes each, so yea...there's a LOT more story to go.

I'm currently putting the final touches on taking pics for volume 13, then I go immediately into editing and production. I've got about 5 volumes of TLWL, 2 volumes of Bubblee & Victoria, the 1st volume of Magnum Opus and a couple ECS Shorts in the lab as well, so if you're a fan of my content...you're DEFINITELY going to be entertained in the coming months. So yea...the Revelation arch is next on the docket. I can't wait to see what everyone's reaction to the ACTUAL revelation will be.
