I’m way behind in my reading; the last thing I read was “Avalon Bay”, but having just reached the end of “Chapeltown” I can say it was well worth the wait; great ending. I hate reading comics on my computer and I’ve got all the Mercy stories up to “Avalon Bay” in hard copy and I’m about to order “Rite of Passage”. Are the subsequent stories available in printed format?
Hi Paul– Thanks for catching up with Trekker! Glad you have found it a good trip so far. LOTS more to come! And, you asked the perfect leading question! Yes, both RITES OF PASSAGE and the next book, CHAPELTOWN are now available for order on my ETSY STORE. You can click on the link here, or click on the book images in the right Sidebar. I’ll be running a Kickstarter to get the next book, THE DARKSTAR ZEPHYR, into print this fall! So, stay tuned here, or sign up for the TREKKERCOMIC NEWSLETTER in the sidebar to get word on that! Thanks, Paul!
Hi Ele- I’d say, “Sorry to put you through the emotional suspense like that”, except it would be a bit of a lie. The storyteller in me is delighted that you went through exactly the emotional experience I was hoping to get out of the reader. Also, like you, I’m so happy these two have finally gotten together. I hope to keep you excited with the adventures they have in store. And mostly: thanks for reading!
Hmm! Well, that’s a problem I don’t think the WordPress program can help us with. I guess we’ll all just have to suffer along together, waiting for me to get the next page out week after week. (Until that sweet day comes when the series supports itself to the point that I can increase the posting frequency, at least.) Meanwhile, I hope you at least find the wait worth it most of the time 🙂
Yes, I was being (somewhat) facetious there, but it’s been a long wait; the first hints of this came (for me, at least) way back in “Train to Avalon Bay”. You really know how to play the long game, don’t you? 😉
Mike, you have no idea! Yes– this has been “in the works” for a looong time. Especially when considering that the “Avalon Bay” was fully outlined and largely scripted YEARS before I finally got the chance to get back to Trekker and pick up the story at that point. And you could argue, as some careful readers have, that I was laying some subtle seeds even earlier than that. But the point is that I’m just doing all I can to make the character(s) evolve and develop as realistically and believably as I can. Which for all of us takes time and experiences, right?
Well, I don’t know that I’d call it “some action”, but I expect you were being playful there yourself. But yes, I’ve tried to have this be a “slow build” long enough in the series that it’s quite likely that this moment will come as a big surprise to no one– except, of course, Mercy herself 🙂

a late reaction but still WoooHoo!
One of my favorite parts of this job is knowing new readers will get to page 48 of Chapeltown 🙂

Fox is horrified!
Hmm. I think perhaps you do not know this particular fox quite as well as you think you do. 🙂
I hate your “next” button, it always stop working when I want to read more…or I’m impatient, not sure which yet.

But what does the fox says?

Yeah, I figured Molly would finally be getting some action 🙂

About damn time
Excellent. Just the reaction the storyteller was going for 🙂
