It’s less than two weeks now until we’re doing a Kickstarter to print volume one of Phobos and Deimos. That’s basically all I’m going to be able to talk about for the next while.
UPDATE: There is now a LINK to the Kickstarter. It still hasn’t gone live yet, but if you want to be notified when it does, HERE YOU GO.

Panel 1: Narrator: "Ibrahim had to wait until we got home." Maida and her aunt sit next to each other in their small kitchen. Maida's mum stands across from them, alone. Rehema, not looking at the others: "I couldn't find him."
Panel 2: Rehema: "We knew which band had kidnapped him. The "Children of the Bodhisattva" kidnapped children all over Daedalia Planum. They were behind the airstrike at Laal Pahaadee Station.
Panel 3: Rehema: "The Lowlanders raided their base five months ago. Most of the children were accounted for-- dead, or rescued, or changed, at least their parents knew."
Panel 4: Rehema: "Some of the children were sold to Varangian pirates. We think he was one of those. But that's where the trail goes cold."
Panel 5: Maida's mum takes off her headscarf, which she has been wearing indoors until now. Rehema: "If Ibrahim is still alive, he's not on Mangala. Not anywhere in the inner planets."
Panel 6: Rehema: "I'm tired of living with this grief."
Panel 7: She sits down. Rehema: "And being tired makes me feel like a terrible mother."
