XIII - WATER ENDING - AWAKENING
So, it ends. XIII itself is practically over. This is the next-to-last delivery. We still have to survive a two-part four-page Epilogue.
This is the perfect proof of how easy it is to begin things, and how horribly hard it is to end them. You could say it took me ages to finish these pages. Well, they'd been sitting in my archives for weeks, then scanned and left again for some more weeks, which means I could've been over with this a long time ago. Yet, for some reason, this part is the most terrifying to post. It's a gamble, you see: I'm taking my chances here. You will immediatly notice many different things... Different from my earlier comic pages, and different from other pages of XIII. It was the last experiment, a bang and a whimper as one. Personally, I feel like I totally failed it... There are a million different ways this could've been much more awesome.
Yet, at the same time, this is the end of it: The way it should be. A story I had to tell. The first threads of a bigger tapestry I want to weave. You see, I like telling stories; it's one of the few safe places I have in this world. It's the least scary thing I have found, and telling the stories in my brain is relaxing, one of the few things I find relaxing these days.
XIII is, ultimately, just one story. Its 4 different endings shouldn't be treated as different things, but rather, as one single event, one single existance. Epilogue #1 is the continuation of all 4 Endings, as unbelievable as it may seem, and it wraps up the story by showing us another key in the story. Epilogue #2 is an explanation, an introduction and a launchpad, all at once. Two characters appear there. Two characters you, dear reader, will be hearing more about soon.
The Epilogues are pretty much over, just need to be worked on digitally. After that, I will need to reorganize my ideas for the next phase. Maybe we'll be posting some more comics. Simple, bizarre, like those first that were done before XIII even began. Yeah. That'd be nice.
