I’m OK and not dead: Hi, folks! My apologies for the radio silence… through a combo of various life circumstances and utterly losing track of the time somehow many weeks passed without any progress on the Magellan front. I’ve had a 95% drawn page on the drawing board since Easter, and yet it feels like I last worked on it yesterday. Clearly something broke creatively and I just lost all focus – like on everything, email, comments, whatever. You can thank my friend Miguel who finally blasted me from my dazed and confused state, and then my girlfriend Fiona and another friend Naomi who both gave me an additional kick in the backside to get me reactivated. Anyway, I’m grateful for and appreciate everyone’s concern – but no, I’m not dead. I suspect that if I did die you’d find out much sooner than six weeks. I will update weekly for a couple of weeks to get my momentum back.

MAGELLAN “WHAT”-EVER???: This page syncs up with the second panel of pages 9. The first time I used MAGELLAN FOREVER was during the Lock(e)down chapter several years ago. At the time Black Panther had just come out and Wakanda Forever was a phrase used here and there. Since then it was grown to be a real battlecry for Wakanda… so much so BP2 will be titled Wakanda Forever! lol… can’t help that.
