Q: What the hell??
A: Huh?

Q: Didn't I already see this comic?
A: No, of course not, don't be silly.

Q: Stop fuckin' with me man, what's going on?
A: There's not that many regular readers, but the handful there are should know what's up. I've recently examined where I am in the storyline and where it's going, and it's not where I think it should be. This examination has also given me a chance to see what's working and what's not. Yes, I'm basically starting back at the begining, but there are some perks to this: First of all, the artwork should look at lot more consistant. The 20 or so hand-drawn pages stick out like sore thumbs, and I won't be sorry to replace them with something shinier. It also gives me a chance to impliment new character models without really easing into them. Yes, it's going to take a while to get back to where we were in the story, but on the plus side, by the time we get to the introduction of 'Chief,' I think it should be a lot richer this go-around. In all, I took a look at the pros and cons, and decided that it would be easier to restart the story. It comes first, after all.

So consider what you just saw the network pilot episode while we enter 'Phase 2.' Hopefully the few of you will stick around and you'll enjoy what you see. If so, or not, drop me a line and tell me what you think. For the time being, the older comics will stay up until I can code a better way to archive them.

Thanks for reading!
