It’s 2022 already and this comic is back with a vengeance. We’ve got the first issue pretty much in the bag already and have the scripts for two more. Lucien has a great story and I can’t wait for him to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You probably have questions. I’m here to answer them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did you stop the original comic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our business model was to get the comic crowdfunded, but hardly anyone showed up. In the words of the Wise Man, first<\/strong> you need the crowd, then<\/strong> you can have the funding. With no one to finance the production of the art, it pretty much came out of our pockets and we just couldn’t sustain the comic that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s different now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First off, we’re not going to be weekly but bi-weekly (every other<\/strong> week), so it’s easier on the wallet. And we’re not going to rely on crowdfunding for the time being. We’re going to give the comic entirely free for as long as it takes to gather a sufficiently large audience, then we’ll start a Patreon page to back it up. Maybe. Let’s just focus on making a great comic first, see what happens. If you want to help, please share it with your friends<\/strong>. Tell people about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why not continue the Chain-Spider story instead?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were several issues with the original format, as Lucien will tell anyone (Lucien, please tell people, pretty please?). But it’s the same world where Chain-Spider lives, so I’d bet good money that she might make a cameo from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can we still read the old comics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They’re still on the site at the time of this writing, but they’ll be removed shortly and made available through an online shop (that still remains to be set up).<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what’s this new format you keep talking about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, I’m so glad you asked! We’re very excited about it. First, this is all very nugget sized, as I mentioned earlier. We’re working in “chapters” (or issues, if you prefer) and will be releasing one chapter per quarter (the first one being Winter 2022). Each chapter will have six pages that are kind of like a short self-contained scene. At a bi-weekly rate, that means 4 chapters a year. We plan on packaging those chapters into digital issues that people can purchase at a very cheap price to help support the comic. These issues will contain production sketches and some notes from Lucien that won’t be published anywhere else. And since we’re nerds and geeks, there might be gaming stats somewhere in there, we’ll see (no promise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A’ight, that’s all I got for you at the moment. I hope you’ll stick around and tell everyone about this great comic. I couldn’t be more excited about 2022 and what it has in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh yeah, and fuck covid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s 2022 already and this comic is back with a vengeance.
