Official statement
From Sir Jamie:
Hello all!
First off, I'd like to apologize to everyone for the lack of any
updates the last few months. To be honest, the reason for the silence
was that I myself wasn't sure what to tell people. I've been really
busy with a lot of stuff and I haven't had time to work on the last
issue. But I did tell my staff that I was planning to release issue
12 around February. Obviously, that hasn't happened. I also had some
problems getting in touch with Jhomar initially the last few weeks (no
doubt he was also busy with stuff while waiting for Cast scripts), but
I've gotten in touch with him and we're furiously working on finishing
the issue. Arnold and I have been working on various stuff both
together and separately, but he's on board and is all set to finish
his half when I send him the script.
1) Cast 12 won't be out this February. Expect it most likely late
March, probably after Holy Week.
2) While I had trouble contacting Jhomar recently, both the artists
are now working on getting the issue done. But all the delays were
because of me. I hadn't finished the script.
3) Both stories are plotted. 12 pages of Jhomar's script is done and
8 have been drawn. I've given Arnold 4 pages of script and he's given
me 2 colored pages and the cover.
4) Cast 12 will be the last issue of Cast for the foreseeable future.
5) Nautilus Comics has finished its association with Mango Books (on
good terms), and have already ceased operations as of January 2008.
Thank you all for your incredible patience and support the last five
years. It's been a wonderful trip!
Again, last that I know, Arnold Arre will be doing the Will/Ces/Manny story that includes Mons and majority of the cast, while Jhomar Soriano holds scripts for the Lel/Joe/"Joy" story. I have no idea which illustrator the Elmo/Maita side story went to, and how it was weaved in.
So, a little more waiting, okay?
