Space Wars

Raise your hand if you see the obvious Star Wars reference  Very subtle, I know.

We’re getting really close to resolving this comic arc, I promise! David has lead his squadron into a fight with a planet killer machine, because Andrew didn’t wait for Star Fox to arrive… what’s going to happen?  Who knows.  Well, I do because I write the script, but that’s about it.

I’d like to direct your attention to our newest affiliate, Pokemon Yellow Comics.  Go take a look at his witty comic… right now!  Another Pokemon comic to watch out for is 2G Pokemon Webcomic.

I failed to give credit last week, let’s give a big round of applause to Chris, our spriter, who created the sprites for the Star Fox text boxes:

We’ve got a possible new feature in the works for people who vote for our webcomic… we shall see what comes of that.  In the meantime… how about tossing a few votes our way, huh?

Don’t forget to subscribe to our RSS feed so you can catch every update.  We usually update around 9PM Central Standard, in America, but we can’t always do that.  We just squeaked by with “one hour late” today… Lee was on call all week, and Shawn’s schedule changed radically.

On a final note, I’d like to give a shout out about a book called “7th Son: Descent,” a thriller novel I’ve been reading recently.  It’s a really neat thriller story about human cloning and it’s various uses, nefarious and otherwise.  Let me go ahead and warn you:  this book is not PG rated.  It’s got some disturbing scenes in it… I mean, it’s a thriller, right?  (Just had to get that out as our comic is generally PG rated… didn’t want any surprises)  In any case, I’ve been reading through the “Blog Text” version of the story in Boing Boing.  See, what’s really neat about this book is that the author is releasing the text in PDF and Blog Text and Audio Book version absolutely free as an enticement to purchase the actual book.  I’ve read through half of the posted story so far… and am quite entranced.  As a fan of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy, I like the techno-thriller aspect of it.  Now, for my peeve:  I’m not a Puritan… but I guess I’m a bit peeved about the trend in the techno and thriller genres to feel the need to discuss sex, have gory gratuitous violence, and feel the need to cuss every other word.  I realize that all of this happens in the real world, so I’m not trying to be a prude or anything… I’m just sayin’ that when reading a book about cloning or political assassination I don’t need to relive somebody else’s fantasies, if you know what I mean.  Well… I guess that’s why God invented “skipping to the next chapter.”  All in all, the book is actually a pretty good read… it’s the main reason why the new voting feature is delayed!  I’ve spent most of today’s free time reading the content available on the site.  The book is slowly being posted for free, or for those of you who aren’t freeloaders, you can get the book in print.

Anyway, enjoy the comic and see you guys next week… maybe even on time!
