After a long semester of thesis work, studio coursework, and preparations for a study abroad in Japan, I managed completed the third issue. This one would've been completed sooner if not for college courses. However, I will be graduating by the end of this Spring semester, and thereon my schedule should open up to where the next issue will be completed sooner.
I'm glad to have revisited Agatha' story line though, for it showcased both her flaws and strengths (albeit with a great deal of help, lol) as a protagonist. Lore-wise, the introduction of the Murder raises many (and hopefully engaging) questions about the Crowley family's lineage. And poor Cassidy… she exemplified the equivalent exchange of death in the Junctions, whereby not every individual is spared its cold embrace.
In any case, the next issue will focus on Boyd and his niece Isabelle. That's one of my intentions with this series: to allow each character to have the spotlight on them per issue. It aids in breathing life into the world.
Sequestered between decrepit woods and dreary swamplands, stands the Cardinal Junction – a collective of oligarchical city-states embattled in a 500-year-old civil war. The Abbots of the windy North combat the Covens of the damp South upon the war-torn farmlands of the East as broken souls escape to the West for a life of rail work and mining. The Junctions each seek an audience with their Lamb-Veiled Shepherd, for who they birth and die for alike. Amidst the wisps and corpse-lights, young Agatha Crowley, alongside her compatriots, plunge further into the shadows which inspired this age-old war.
