I find it hard to believe it’s been almost a year since copies of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS were sent out to those who pre-ordered a copy in the months prior to that, but once I get past the release of KEN PENDERS’ KNUCKLES OMNIBUS VOLUME ONE (more on this later) and wrap work on THE LARA-SU APP, it’s full speed ahead on THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: SHATTERED TOMORROWS with the intent to see the print edition released during the Christmas 2026 season.
I haven’t talked much about the story and what people can look forward to, as I haven’t wanted to spoil the many surprises in store. That said, I think it fair to give people some idea that what came before doesn’t begin to prepare readers for what they can expect, as it goes way beyond anything depicted in previous stories.
As an example, here are two pages from the script of SHATTERED TOMORROWS.
As I establish in BEGINNINGS, Mobius is destroyed, and it’s now a battle for survival among the colonies that escaped the cataclysm. The life that everyone knew wherever they were has changed forever, and everyone is dealing with that reality in different ways. Some cling to hope while others take a darker path. For every action, there is a reaction, and no return to the status quo.
I started writing the script for SHATTERED TOMORROWS more than 13 years ago, changing plot points along the way, adding details and characters as the story began to take shape. Even I was surprised by some of the secrets unveiled that were only hinted at in previous stories as I wrote the narrative. Relationships and events I hadn’t realized began to fall into place.
The funny thing is the more I tried taking the story in a direction that moved it far from what had come before, the more it embraced what had come before and built on that. After a while, I quit fighting it and wrote where the story was always intended to go.
As I work on SHATTERED TOMORROWS, sections will be initially released in THE LARA-SU APP. Once the initial story is complete, it will be collected in a hardcover format graphic novel.
Whichever way one enjoys the story as it unfolds, I look forward to your questions and comments as we embark on the journey of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
