Last page! After everything Kimber Lee's been through, I feel just fine with this slightly twee ending! Leaving it open about Kimber Lee and Emilio's future (although we know where his heart is..) - Little drama (although Emilio's probably made it awkward if he decides to stay with Mari Pas)!!
I gave some thought on the song Emilio would sing here. Knew it should be sorta dream-themed. Thought about Heart's ‘These Dreams’, Queensreich's ‘Silent Lucidity’… Finally settle on Elvis Presley's ‘If I can dream’. If you wanna hear (and see) it Click Here - I imagine Emilio's version is a little more Rock, less horn-section!! I kinda had to go with this song because… My man does Elvis impersonations here and there, and I'm a pretty big E.P. fan!!
Thanks so much, everyone, for a wonderful trip!! There was a couple times I felt a little bit of burnout but your continued support always made it just go away. Glad too, cuz it's a story I really wanted to tell. There's a few personal elements here and it's been quite cathartic. Also, some philosophical themes I've pondered on, but also just a lot of sci-fi, superheroic, slam-bam romping!! It's been thoughtful, dark, and fun - pretty much has touched on all the ranges of human emotion for me!!
But, everything does end, one way or another! I'll probably do a 2 or 3 page epilogue at some point, perhaps throwing some hints about a new project I'm formulating and hope sees the light of day! Also will include some DD Awards pages should I be honored with some!!
I'll maintain a presence here on DD. Will continue to read and support my faves! Like you have for me!! Thank you all, once more!! When you dream, dream big!! Let's close with a quote, by a Native American Chief from the movie Grey Owl:
“A man becomes what he dreams - you dreamed well.”

Oh my, I was so used to The Godstrain updates I will really miss them! On the other hand every good story has to end eventually and that was a great ending :) That must be a great feeling to have a complete story on your account, congratulations! :D

Sorry I'm so late chiming in, had issues logging in. But, wow! Thank you for this long, rollicking, twisting, touching, thought-provoking ride, I'm sorry to see it end. It's been a pleasure watching this intriguing story, these characters, and your own confidence and skill, evolve over the years. Hope to see more of your work soon!

Thanks so much Steve. Was a pleasure (and sometimes frustrating) watching myself grow ha!

CONGRATULATIONS! What an achievement! Well done! I will read it start to finish now, rather than in short bursts, the moment I always cherish in every webcomic. Well done! <3

:) Thanks so much Tantz - Hehe I always cringe when I know people are reading the early pages, but my art does get better!! :D

Aw this is cute! I had to re-read a few chapters since been not so much time to read comics the past months, this has been wonderful. Its so admiring considering how many pages this is, you finished a huge project. So much work, i can imagine with all those pages and you always draw so much detail and life into your artwork. That's something to be proud of, congratulations!
KimLuster at 7:02AM, July 29, 2017
Thanks, Udyr, yes it was a big project and sometimes a toil, but I loved it... and miss it already lol!!
