First off, thanks to everyone who attended the livestream back on Oct 11. We had a lot of fun. And we hope all of you who attended last week’s New York Comic Con had a great time as well, and are now recovering nicely.
Around here, it’s been a very exciting couple of months- as we celebrated three years of this project under the banner of [3W/3M/3Y], with a giant list of announcements of what’s to come in the year ahead.
So many announcements, in fact, that we thought it would be helpful to put them all together, here in one giant post, for reference. It’s gonna be a great year.
But what if we told you we’d actually held back our biggest news for this week? Read down to the bottom of the post for a hint of what you can expect from us in the coming days- you won’t want to miss it.
Before that, though, here’s a look back at all those announcements…
The 3W/3M App
Arguably our biggest announcement to date, the 3W/3M mobile app for iOS and android will be a new digital home for everything we do. It will be available first as an alpha launch exclusive to members of THE CIRCLE before rolling out more broadly.

[HISTORIES] Graphic Novel Sourcebook
Our third and (at least for now) final graphic novel sourcebook, [HISTORIES] will be an in-depth examination of the past and backstories of our new universe, featuring six new comic stories, concept art, and pages of world building lore all designed by Sasha E Head.
More details here.
[LEGENDS] Volume Two
Last year, we brought you [LEGENDS] Volume One- a collection of six new stories by some of the finest, most talented creative teams in comics, all set in the 3W/3M Universe. Now we’re back with Volume Two and six more great stories, serialized right here, exclusive to our paid subscribers.

ACADEMY Returns
Our ongoing Sunday serial with art by the legendary Steve Epting, telling the story of what happened to Institute explorer Tajo Vallar on the Kaoso moon, will return with all-new chapters, exclusively for our paid subscribers.

THE VALLARS Returns
Our ongoing series with art by the amazing Jason Howard, telling the story of a young Tajo Vallar and his adventuring family, will return with all-new, always free to read episodes, as well as a collected digital edition of Book One, exclusively for paid subscribers.

HYATT’S HOLD Debuts
A new ongoing, free-to-read series with art by the spectacular Stephen Green. Set in the same time period as THE VALLARS, it tells the story of Howe Hyatt, the lost warrior king of Fayrii. Members of THE CIRCLE will also receive an IN-PRINT preview edition of the opening episodes.

What’s Next
So yeah, it’s been amazing revealing everything we’ve got planned for year three, and we’ve been blown away by your response to these announcements. But like we said at the top of the post, this isn’t where it ends. There’s ONE very special set of announcements that we’ve held back.
And that’s what this week is all about.
We told you before that this upcoming year really marks the end of the universe-building stage of the project, and after that that we’d be moving into a new phase, where we take all that we’ve done so far and turn it into something bigger.
There are things we’ve been working on in secret, since all the way back when we started in 2021, that we’re just about set to reveal to you. These projects really mark the bridge between these two phases, and the beginning of what’s to come. And when you see them, we think you’re going to be very excited about what that future looks like.
It’s been a fantastic three years. Now get ready for [ONE] very special week that changes everything.
Will there ever be a print edition of Legends published?
3W3M annual graphic novels with Mike & Mike on interiors. LFG!
