Hey Chatte, hope all is well!

One of my favorite my art pieces from Kaika so far is the picture of the Uzumaki clan with an adult Arashi. I’m a sucker for lore especially for shows/comcis/managa that I love. I’m interested in the history of the Uzumaki clan and how it changed from the matriarchy to the patriarchy and how Ashina came to power. I’m also excited on how Naruto and Karin relationship is going to play out and it looks like that will come first before her eventual meeting with Sasuke. I also like how you are giving her and Sakura agency. (Yes we want them to get together with their respective partners) but I’m excited to see how their own personal stories move forward. Finally that art piece that has Naruto and Sakura as sun gods, you think they be a chance with Sasuke and Karin as moon gods? Can’t drop an awesome concept like and be done with it, and we have to their children to as a little pantheon lol.

Heyaa,

Welcome back to my inbox, haha! So good to have you back. :D

Glad to hear you liked the adult Arashi picture. Hope I can expand more on the characters there visually as well.

The thing is I have sooo many ideas in my head. I only wish I had the finances to act upon all these ideas lol.

Anyway, as for the Uzumaki clan, I hope you guys will love the lore I have for the exchange from the matriarchy or Ohirume to Ashina's patriarchy. It'll involve something really juicy, if you ask me, haha.

I just hope you guys will find it as juicy as I do in my head, lol. It's all in my mind, I just need to get to it.

Like I said on my other socials, I'm currently planning on writing Kaika's 13th chapter, after which I plan on taking a break from that because I wanna fully focus on plotting the story in arcs.

I already have the timeline finished from a looooong time ago, I just never got to the point where I actually arrange it into arcs & see how I can display all that history & background I worked on.

As for Karin and Sakura, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed that because honestly, from a writing perspective that has been a top priority of mine - for the girls to have their own agencies outside of the boys, even if I wanna go with those respective pairings.

As for the artpiece, it's already ordered. I wanted to have it as a surprise but you spoiled it for yourself. :P

But yeah, I already ordered it and it will definitely fit with the entire pantheon haha. You'll see more when I publish it.

PS: You now gave me another idea with SK (both the kids and the parents). *writes idea down to commission it at some point*

Where's all the money in comics coming from anyway?

Where’s all the money in comics coming from anyway?

It’s a joke as old as time:

How do you make a small fortune in comics publishing?

Start with a large fortune.

However, as Rob Salkowitz explains in a prescient piece at ICv2, people are just lining up to put their money into comics. In addition to the recent Chinese investment in Dark Horse, there’s DMG and Valiant,  Amazon, Tapas, Webtoons, Humanoids’ new ramp up,  and even Lion Forge, owner of…
