   Was Maxion series ever finished?

   Was the Maxion series ever finished (past the fourth graphic novel)?   
      
   At the end of the fourth graphic novel, the main plot is still incomplete   
   and the author's note apologizes for not finishing the story.  However, the   
   author also says he's made the next plot twist for the story "...all of   
   it...until the end...", and he's looking at his options to finish the   
   series.   
      
   That was ten years ago, and I can't find any signs that the final episodes   
   exist.  (The author's web site only mentions the four graphic novels.)   
      
   Issue #25 of the Maxion comic say "The Long-Awaited Series Finale!" on the   
   cover, but it's just the same thing as the ending of the fourth graphic   
   novel: nothing different, and the main plot up in the air.   
      
   Even with the final episodes missing, I still enjoyed the series.  It would   
   be nice to have found out a little more background about what was going on   
   and see how the final confrontation with the bad guys worked out, but the   
   only unresolved issue that really bugs me is: how does the love triangle   
   between the hero and the heroines finally get resolved?   
      
   (My favorite solution would be "One of you can be my girlfriend and the   
   other can be my mistress!", as in 801 T.T.S Airbats.)
