With the launching of this brand new website came lots of new stuff to make your comic reading experience even better! To make it easier to find what is new, I’ve compiled it all into this nifty little update.

WEBSITE STUFF

Reorganized archive! – Long gone is that awful long list of every single comic with no other description other than its title (which I’m pretty sure broke a few years ago and I just removed it entirely). All comics have been grouped together into “chapters”. From each chapter you can look through an overview of all of the pages, start reading from the first page of the chapter, or skip to where story arcs within that chapter start. If you fancy just looking through every single comic indiscriminate of the series it is a part of or the chapters within, you can view it that way also.

I’ve built out a search engine to make sorting through the archive significantly easier. Remember a specific comic featuring Bryan, where the theme was Halo, published sometime in 2015? YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP EXACTLY. Other filters include the exact month the comic was published, as well as series and chapter it is a part of. If you remember a keyword that was in the name of the comic, or a topic I discussed in the blog attached to said comic, there is a keyword field for such keywords!

Character Bios – I’ve significantly expanded how many characters have bios. From each bio you can jump to comics featuring that character.

I have also hidden various easter eggs throughout the website. Have fun looking.

COMIC STUFF

I’ve done a major overhaul of a lot of the older comics. The original comics started out WAY too wordy, so I’ve cleaned up the dialogue significantly. As well as (hopefully) improved the general humor. I’ve also removed any comics I felt didn’t fit in with the series, felt a little too insidery, weren’t really funny or were funny but just not used at the right time and can be reused at a better time. My hope is that the series starts out a little less shitty for new readers. If you realize I axed a comic you truly cared about, I may not be against bringing it back so just let me know and I’ll consider it.

And last but not least, NEW COMICS! That’s right, various comics got art overhauls, and some story arcs got deleted scenes added in, as well as alternate endings.

Political Editorials that had their art overhauled to look like actual political editorials:

Alternate endings:

  • Skirmish – Pg. 12 – (MeesterPepper convinced me to make this change)
  • At Peace – In the Football scrimmage story arc, I decided that Austin simply pulling off a successful block against Big Mike was too easily earned. So, I came up with a different ending for that scene.

ENTIRELY NEW COMICS

  • Hats – I had always intended to do this gag with these characters but somehow completely forgot to do so before I officially retired them, so they got one more comic in!
  • Warthog Run – A deleted scene from the election story arc.
  • Angry Mob – Second page of that deleted scene
  • Something Halo This Way Comes – More info on this later, but for now enjoy preview cover art.

And that’s all of the new stuff! Between all the new comics and overhauled older comics, I hope that there’s plenty of new content to make up for the insanely long hiatus this new website required of me.

I had actually cut a significant amount of stuff I intended to have finished before launch in order to make move the launch date up, so here are my ideas for phase 2 of the website:

  • More search filters
  • More character bios
  • New cover art for every single chapter
  • More Easter Eggs
