Wet Moon 6 FINAL PREVIEW PAGE!

i did so much research on the hospital equipment, including talking to professionals and relating to them Trilby's condition and what equipment would be used, and one nurse even snuck into unoccupied ICU rooms at her place of work to take secret photos for me! :O she risked her job for Wet Moon!

the boy here is Trilby's brother Mat, who hasn't been introduced but i wanted another one of Trilby's several siblings to be there, since it was mentioned in a previous book that she has a large family. i figure the other siblings are older and off at other colleges or living in other cities. the others, including the already-introduced Minnie (also seen here), are Tila, Truman, and Wily; i'm not sure yet if they will be eventually introduced in the comic or not. i have lot of background material that never or barely gets used.

ANYWAY, this is the final preview page! thank you everyone who's been reading along and especially thank you to everyone who has commented, it's been very much appreciated. thank you to everyone who has bought the book or is planning to, too. i really hope the preview and my commentary were worthwhile, and for those of you who had been waiting since volume 5, i hope Wet Moon 6 is worth the wait.

thank you as always for all the support! it's super amazing and flattering and a total honor for me that anyone reads my stuff and even gives a tiny shit about it. you guys make this all possible, so thank you for this amazing cartooning career i've been able to pull off for the last 9, almost 10 years (i think?). i've been so lucky and i'm so grateful.

THANK YOU!!!! <3 <3 <3

so now that the mushy stuff is out of the way, even though the WM6 preview is over, i want to keep posting here with exclusive Wet Moon stuff. i've been thinking about posting other people's fanart, character profiles/bios (what their favorite books/movies/etc. are, stuff like that), and maybe a behind-the-scenes/making-of for Wet Moon 7, but i'm not sure if that would be too spoilery. what do you guys think? any other ideas or anything you're particularly interested to see?

i hate drawing showers and characters showering!

a couple people have asked me what color Myrtle is dying her hair, and i'd say it's up for interpretation since it's never specified in the book but in my head she's bleaching it blonde.

my perspective kind of sucks on this page.

so! i will be at New York Comic Con this year, in Artist Alley at table R8! which is cool because it's like 'R' as in my first name then 8 as in the number of letters in my last name?!? XD

i'll have Wet Moon 1-6, Shadoweyes 1-2, Glory (both issues and the trade), TMNT: Leonardo, Mountain Girl, maybe a couple Water Baby copies, prints (Wet Moon, Shadoweyes, TMNT) which may or may not be free, maybe some buttons/pins if i can fit them in my suitcase, some original art, and i'll be doing however many sketches i can manage.

when i'm not at my Artist Alley table, i'll be signing at the Oni Press booth:
Friday: 3:00-3:45
Saturday: 3:00-3:45
Sunday: 2:00-2:45

in case you missed my previous post, WET MOON 6 IS FINALLY OUT!!! it came out on Wednesday!! thank you again to everyone who pre-ordered it, everyone who went out and got the book on the release day, thank you to everyone who has already let me know what they thought of the book, everyone who's planning on getting it, and everyone who's stuck with me and waited all this time since volume 5. i hope more than anything that volume 6 is worth the wait. here's to volume 7. :)

if you pre-ordered the book on Amazon, the site says right now that the book isn't released yet, but Amazon usually functions that way, because of how the distribution works they tend to get their shipments a bit later than the brick-and-mortar stores do.

Fall and Slicer are two of my favorite characters to write, i love the dynamic between them and Audrey overall, i wish i could find more pagetime to give them. this particular conflict between the three of them is difficult but i like the challenge. i like trying to figure out how to present each of their sides of the conflict without making them either 100% likeable or 100% unlikeable.

i wrote a high-school-era flashback of Audrey and Slicer showing them in their early days, before Audrey got sucked into Slicer's whirlpool of trouble, but it got cut. hopefully it'll make it into volume 7.

if all goes like it's supposed to, Wet Moon 6 comes out in book form in just a couple weeks!!!! :O

i think i've talked about this before elsewhere but sometimes i feel like i've painted myself into a corner with Fern. she has all these mysteries around her and there have been some reveals like her talking about her family in volume 2 or the earlier scene in this volume, but i get the sense that at this point any further reveals about who she is or where she came from or what she's doing will never live up to what readers likely have in their imaginations. it'll probably just disappoint in an "oh. that's it?" way.

there is more to reveal about her (whether it's interesting or not is another thing, heh) so i should probably just say screw it and do it anyway, but sometimes i wonder if leaving things mysterious is the best way to go, but then i also wonder if not providing any real answers is a jerk move. back in the early books i didn't think much of it, i had all the time in the world, i'll get to it and the mysterious stuff is part of the comic, but now that i'm outlining the final few books in the series, it's looming over me to really figure out how much to reveal and and how much to leave unanswered.
