And now HoT is done for the year! Phew! What a year this has been! I thought joining Hiveworks would be the most excitement I saw in 2018, but then my tablet decided to refuse to update the driver and I spent a few months not being able to draw nearly as much as I needed to. Thus, I'm going to need to take a short hiatus before I start Chapter 10.

My goal is to bring the comic back in February of 2019. I'm not sure exactly when in February, but that's what I'm aiming for. I've got a buffer to resurrect and work to do on some extra content for the upcoming books.

That's right - HoT will have a Kickstarter next year! Thanks to the folks at Hiveworks, I'll be printing all new editions of Book One and (for the first time) Book Two. So save up you money for that!

I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my fabulous readers! Whether you followed me from Tumblr or Tapastic or started reading on the new site, whether you comment or just read along, I am so grateful for your continued interest in the comic! I hope you will enjoy this upcoming arc, which will take us down some different paths than previous chapters. It'll be funny! It'll be spooky! It'll be worldbuilding!

If you enjoyed Heroes of Thantopolis this year, the best thing you can do to help the comic is to share a link on social media. It might feel random, but it's no less random than posting a picture of a tasty sandwich or sharing a funny YouTube video.

Have a great New Year's!
