The Nadthsade Dragon

August 30, 2024

The idea for this was for a webcomic after attempts at writing my third novel continuously stalled. I thought instead to slow down, stay in the universe I created for a bit, and explore concepts, characters, and let it serve what my guru has been showing me all these years– the communication dictates the terms, and makes the schedule. I’m having a blast with this title.

Not only is this leg of the story about what happens after Jeshibian’s journey– his great search for truth in the form of the child of his sadhana– but it’s also about who that child is, what she might think of all the hype. It’s also about what each character who came into contact with her has to say about what the journey meant to them.

I’m having a blast doing this project. I hope you enjoy it to.

The eight remaining pages will be uploaded a month at a time, till spring of 2025. This gives me some time to finish Issue 7 (above).

Synopsis: Red Carridean, is restless, and so is his recently befriended partner in crime, the Bainish spy Brenn Edgewood. Hidden at New Niehembreth for nearly two years (or so) the edges of differences begin to manifest and annoy each other as one wishes to leave the planet, the other to stay. Meanwhile Jeshibian is tasked with trying to unlock the mystery of presence found in the dash of his acquired Triken vessel, Kullderabray. Mediha, the reluctant Nadthsade Dragon, begins to manifest better dreams of her future. Hue Truetell, the reporter tags along.

I’m so proud of this issue. Next is more of Jeshibian’s dream sequence with Tiela, and a sweet conclusion. I’m pleased with how it came together. Want to read more of Issue 6? Please register.

I actually like the way this one came out. I enjoyed injecting some cyberpunk elements and weaving it with Hue’s narrative. Next up in this issue; more action as I introduce the menace of our alien antagonists, the Trikes! I pay alot of homage to films like Aliens, Bladerunner, and cartoons like Starblazers in this run.
