Fate undecided...
Okay, I want to be straightforward with you guys. I am here to ask you to please purchase a copy of Graphic Novel #8: Legends of Bara Magna and Graphic Novel #9: The Fall of Atero. Sales of these two books will help determine whether the tentative Graphic Novel #10: Power of the Great Beings will ever see the light of day. Who knows, we might even see Graphic Novel #11...
I asked Papercutz for their input on the matter.
In regards to whether Graphic Novel #10 will be released and if sales was the only factor:
In regards to whether a Graphic Novel #11 can exist:
There is no guarantee of GN 10 being released, but we can try.
Now, why EXACTLY do we want GN 10 to be released? Well, the GN will have a lot more information on Mata Nui's journey to the Valley of the Maze? We will see the Element Lord of Sand interact with Mata Nui. The Element Lord of Sand in GN 8 was drawn by Stuart Sayger, so in GN 10, we'll see him drawn by another artist, Christian Zanier. Awesome art like the what we see on the cover is expected. And what exactly is the power source that was located in the Great Volcano? We'll learn more about that too.
If you cannot afford to get both books, I suggest you get GN 8 as it has all new content. Both books are relatively cheap (that's my opinion) and absolutely worth getting. Not only does Christian Zanier, the artist for Hydraxon's Tale, come back, but Stuart Sayger, the artist for the 2006-2007 BIONICLE comics, returns as well for GN 8.
GN 8 features three all new comics:
Fall and Rise of the Skrall, detailing the Skrall's first encounter with the Baterra
The Exile's Tale, featuring Malum's exile from Vulcanus
All Our Sins Remembered, featuring the Core War and the Shattering

GN 9 supposedly features the 2009 Glatorian comics:
Sands of Bara Magna
The Fall of Atero
A Hero Reborn
Before the Storm
Valley of Fear

On another note, because of this situation, BS01 will not be adding GN 8 spoilers until further notice. If BIONICLE cannot survive through sets, then the story must go on. It's really up to the fans to keep BIONICLE alive, and what better way to do that than to do buy these books?
As a "thank you" for reading what I have to say, I would like to show you an exclusive GN 8 image someone provided me with. Just to let you know, you MAY NOT spread this image to BZPower as their spoiler policy strictly says that you cannot do so at this time. Anyways, here is the image.
