Good Morning Dear Readers,
I have been absent for 6 months and have said that it was due to a family emergency, and emergency that is still ongoing.
On April 15th my younger brother, Troy, got into a motorcycle accident on the island of St. Croix, located in the US Virgin Islands (where I’m originally from). Fortunately, there were no broken bones, unfortunately he had a good amount of road rash and he was knocked unconscious and has remained in a slight coma to this day. A day after the accident he had to be flown to Miami, Florida for more examination and treatment.
He is somewhat aware of people being around him and is a bit sensitive to touch but he is not fully “there”. He can’t talk or look at you or even respond in other ways. The doctors say we have to wait for him to fully wake up.
My mother has been staying with him in his hospital room. Hearing about the accident, getting info only through text messages and calls with my mother from Miami were heart-wrenching experiences. I’ve gone down to Miami to visit them the week of May 8th. I was able to keep my mom’s spirits high and make her laugh, but couldn’t do anything for my brother. The whole family and all our friends just have to be patient. There have been little signs here and there that his body is possibly “waking” so we are praying and staying positive.
This is the reason for my abrupt hiatus and I thank you all for your patience. It’s hard to be creative with this situation in the air and also my day job still needing my attention as well.
However I couldn’t leave you fans in the lurch like that, I had to push myself to finish this chapter. So please enjoy the last pages of Chapter 6 as the hiatus is still ongoing until my brother gets better.
As always thank you all for reading, thank you all for your support and understanding, and thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
Have a great day, y’all

TT_TT That sounds so hard for you and your family. Thank you for posting the end of the chapter and not leaving us hanging like that. But your personal life and emotional well-being come first! Please take however much time you need to take care of things! We'll be here.
Oh no! I wish you and your family the best, and I hope your brother will pull through with little or no side effects.
Take care brotha, I am always here if you need anything. I will also pray for your brother and your family.
Oh my!!! all the best to you and your family!
Thank you all for the well wishes, prayers and support, they are much appreciated.
Finally caught up on reading this series! Great work- art, story- everything!!!
Seen your series when I was 1st looking around Tap in 2014. Joined Tap this year, and had a bit of a time finding your series...but I'm good now. Will def read when I get to it!
Greetings, good sir! I have recently discovered your work, and your comic is simply put amazing. How are you capable of producing such a high quality piece of artwork on almost a weekly basis?
Thank you, it means a lot to hear that. I pretty much devote Friday night to Sunday evening to the comic page. Some day I hope I'll get fast enough to do two or more pages a week.
Hello. Good afternoon from the Philippines. :) I really love your series, very good plot, the artwork is great and easy on the eyes. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Miao-Chan, I'm glad you're enjoying the series, thank you for the compliments, they are much appreciated!
Do you have a Patreon?
i have a question are you actually black or just good at drawing black people either way you're my new favorite artist because you don't over exaggerate Afro-American feature
Sorry for the late reply, Naki, yes I am black. Born and raised on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Thanks for the compliment,I glad you're enjoying my art and the series.
Good evening everyone.
Sorry for taking so long to talk to you all. It's been a hectic weekend and this week has also been the same. I tried to get this week's Kain page done by today but no such luck. I'll have to postpone it until August 17th.
That was the bad news.
The good news (since my last post) is that I am back to working full time. So my current mission is to replenish my savings and try to keep Kain going on its regular schedule.
In other good news Demon Hunter Kain issue #1 (Chapter 1) is now available on Comixology!!!
That's right! Now you can take Kain on the go with you on your cellphone or tablet! Help support the comic, it'll be much appreciated.
Here's the Comixology link: http://bit.ly/1DtcSFV
That's all I have to report right now. As always thank you all for your support and for reading. Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend, I'll see you back here on Monday morning.
Peace.

Good to hear!
That's okay take your time, we understand.
Don't worry! It's OK!
