It's been a minute. I have some BIG news for this series~! Not only will it finally return now (since I'll be wrapping up The Grave You Made final arc and all the promised artwork for that), August Wright will also be getting special treatment. TA~DA~
We're getting a promotional manhwa of the prologue!!! I'm super stoked that I got to work with one of MY favourite Korean manhwa artists! The stunning artwork is done by THE amaizng Juhan[주한] (which you may recognize as the artist behind the hit manhwa 'Half of Me'). There will be a few language versions besides English and Korean (Spanish being one, plus a few others by request, working with local native speakers for fluid translation).
But I'm also here to share some of the behind-the-scenes of the making of the promo, hehe. It started off with me info dumping on the poor artist, who (the sweetest she is) took the time to read it in detail and ask about August and Oliver's relationship, their motives, the plot details - all so she could get the emotions across in so few panels (which, in my opinion, she nailed it). But because the prologue was a very wordy monologue, she asked me how I would like it portrayed. So, due to the 13 hour time difference, I sent a very sleep-deprived scribble storyboard:
Which, thankfully, she understood my quick doodle and my scribbled Hangul very well and responded back quite fast with a cleaner layout xD
This was the sneak peek I wanted to show you all to get you excited for what's to come. This work means so much to me because it takes place in Toronto, Canada. I thought it was such a cool setting for a regresison/save-the-world story (especially since I grew up reading Kelly Armstrong's supernatural series set in my home province of Ontario, Canada).
Thank you for waiting patiently for me, and I look forward to continuing the story soon with both their written story and the prologue promo comic by Juhan~

August Wright has always felt out of sync with life - but now, he’s stuck in an endless loop of his worst days. Each time he tries to fix it, something goes catastrophically wrong, unravelling reality itself. Cities crumble, people vanish, and the apocalypse inches closer with every failed attempt to stop it.
Oliver Reed is the only constant in this chaos - a brilliant, enigmatic stranger who seems to know more about time than anyone should. Together, they fight to rewrite fate, but the closer August gets to saving the world, the more impossible the choice becomes: save humanity by sacrificing the one person who’s been his anchor through it all.
Time isn’t on anyone’s side as August races to repair the shattered threads of existence and discover the most dangerous choice of all. So what happens when time is flowing backward for the only person who can help you? And what if... you don't even remember who they are?
