Hey everyone!
So, we announced that we'd be answering three questions from this forum thread every week! And this week, we only got three questions, meaning I'm answering all of them :)

Question 1: "Hey, I was just wondering if you had a set amount of chapters you are going to make or if you just have a basic story line that you want to complete."
The comic's story is already planned out and written. So we know the exact number of chapters its going to be, although we won't be revealing that number :)

Question 2: "I was actually wanting to know if there were any plans to do some backstory for some of the main characters. I realize the main story takes precedence, but I like knowing more about the people I'm reading about, like Solaris or one of the many students."
The first printed volume of Aikonia includes a mini comic that covers some of Arial and Solaris' backstory. Each volume we release will include an exclusive mini comic that covers more backstory!

Question 3: "Can you tell us what all cloaks are there at the academy? We've seen the Black With Blue/Red Trim for first-year students, White With Color Trim for upper-classmen, the instructors had their own color (which I forget), then there were those awesome Red cloaks that random-guy-outside-the-councilroom wore. Can we get some insight?"
Sure thing! Casters, Channelers, and Binders are universally represented by blue, red, and green trims respectively. First grade students start out with black cloaks and one trim, second grade students have a dark grey cloak and two trims, and third grade have a light grey cloaks with three trims. White cloaks are instructors, with trims colours that represent what it is they teach. And finally, purple with gold trims are council members (obviously).

We look forward to answering more questions next week! Oh, also, I (Andrew-David) will be at Otakuthon in Montreal this weekend (August 3rd to August 5th)! If any of you are going to be there, look for me! I'd love to say hi and maybe give away some stickers and whatnot!
Have a great week and enjoy the this week's page :D
