In the interest of advancing the story
May 5th, 2008Riess already talked about this in the notes for Page 25 but I want something in the blag for new readers / anyone who missed it. We restarted the comic in January so that it would be possible to advance the story at a pace we were happier with. Riess added color because it seemed like it would be possible to get out a color page on a weekly basis. The problem we’ve seen is that it’s not always possible to do so consistently, so what we’re going to do is work ahead with the inks so there will always be story, and that way when the painting gets hard it doesn’t cripple the week’s work. We’ll post updates in the comic notes when Riess has caught up with some of the painting, and we may work out a way to do this more effectively with the website.
