Hi , so what a year 2025 was, I wanted to make sure I took time out to say thank you for your support in 2025.  

Making comic books, is actually way more work than someone can imagine - but thanks to people like yourself, it is totally worthwhile.

I have received lots of messages from people from so many different places and from so many different backgrounds, sharing with me how much they have enjoyed the latest edition of Battle Panda.

Knowing that I have helped positively impact someone's day is such a great feeling.

So what do we have lined up for 2026?

We have some big action for 2026

• Battle Panda 5 
  • the final instalment from the Battle Panda arc is in progress.  
  • Melissa and I are have gotten the script in a really strong place. 
  • We're aiming to get the script to Melissa by mid-Jan
  • We're aiming to start art work by mid-Feb
     
• A brand new IP is in the works
  • I'm not going to say too much about this new project at the moment, but we're working on something very new and very exciting
  • the thing is without having any art to show - an idea isn't quite as exciting, with art to show along with the idea, well that is a different proposition 
  • If we can pull this off, it will be our biggest project to-date
  • Stay tooned for more
     

I'm going to take a new approach to the newsletters from next year..  I was away for a while, fulfilling a Kickstarter in record time (I managed to get it done in 4 weeks) is quite exhausting.

Not everyone realises the amount of work in making a book, preparing a Kickstarter, running a Kickstarter and then fulfilling it - it takes a toll, I just needed a bit of time after to recover.

Recovery is done and now I'm back at it.  

However you mark the new year, I wish you good health, prosperity - if you have an idea you want to pursue next year, go for it with full vigour.  

There's no point in doing things by halves - 

• define your dream, 
• figure out a plan, 
• be prepared to rejig the plan 
• and go again.  

Thanks again for your support and looking forward to an exciting 2026 - have a great one.
