Rants!
Plan Bee. ~~ 11/18/09 12:06PM
First of three bee-pun strips. I fully expect to lose half of you by the time its all over.
But before I lose you guys, I must grab and redirect this attention elsewhere. Last year, Left 4 Dead came out and I plugged an awesome zombie apocalypse story comic.
And so I aim to coincide that link with the release of this year's Left 4 Dead 2.
As many of you probably also are, I am enthused by post-apocalyptic settings in stories: Fallout 3, Left 4 Deadz, the upcoming 'The Road' movie (Fallout 3 actually drew a lot from the book, so I'll be seeing that for sure). The struggle to survive, how and what mankind degenerates to in that struggle, the desperation and the everyone for themselves environment, fighting for the meager scraps left behind.
dead winter has all of this in shades. It is my favorite story comic. It is the only story comic that I read.
Still on the fence? Try this sample.
I just knocked you off that fence and into a zombie world of awesome.
There are over 250 pages so far, so to help you guys set into the story, I'll break down some of the chapters here. (Some of the pages are NSFW)
Chapter 5- The gang find shelter.
Chapter 6 - Black Monday Blues kicks more ass. We learn about the characters living in the shelter.
Chapter 7: Another bounty hunter goes after Black Monday. Gang heads out to find food.
Chapter 8: The Army AND city police go after the group (holy shit!). Losing both, the group make their way to the supermarket, though getting in is not going to be as easy as they thought.
So there's my super big plug of deadwinter.
Comic's in progress ~~ 11/16/09 9:55PM
Comic is on the way. It's all drawn, I'm just on the Photoshopping phase now.
DWEX and viruses and forums. ~~ 11/13/09 11:02PM
First off, I will be at DWEX - Dallas Webcomic Expo all day Saturday (today!)
Next, I understand that Google is listing Slackerz as harmful. Last night, a Russian bot/hacker/whatever (I'm assuming it's a bot, since all of my 'index' type files got infected, which there are several) put in a line of code into all of Slackerz' index pages...to download something from a Russian website.
That line of code has been removed from this website.
Google will probably take a while to update this, but the virus has been removed from this site. If you have visited Slackerz in the last 24 hours, I recommend getting your computer scanned.
THIRD: Forums are fixed. I spent two hours trying to fix it after an exhausting trip to Dallas. (so you're fucking welcome, socks)
'ficial instructions. ~~ 11/10/09 1:29PM
New comic's up. Once again, drawn by Anthony Bianchi, who is pretty much now a 'ficial Slackerz artist at this point.
Supafine HOLLA' BACK.
Also, quick reminder that I'll be attending the Dallas Webcomics Expo this Saturday. More details are at the site and on my previous front page post.
As for the comic, Left 4 Dead 2 is coming out soon. Ellis' has 'ficial instructions:
