Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that this comic has veered off the turnpike of “fan art” and has been flung down the cliff of “fan fiction with panels.” Whether for good or ill, I can not say, but I state thusly: I’m gonna see this through to the bitter, carpal tunnel syndrome inducing end. We may have a four-parter here folks. Rest assured, when this series wraps up, my next two comics that I have planned will be sans dialogue; so you may all breathe a sigh of relief.

Available for download via that handy button to the right, should anyone find that it takes too long to appear full-sized in the DevArt window.

The amazing has gathered a group of voice actors and given the Scout's Story a radio-play treatment. Check out the awesomeness here:

They're playing an Arena match. And the server erases your game file if you die. Then it frags your hard drive.

No....poor Ivor...the engenear..., I dont know why I called him than in my mind. He had a family in Apature as well. Nice perspective on the long shot as well. Gives it an awsome cinimatic look. These would be a brillaint flash animated series.

Oh, that was a good one for sure! You did a good job of making the Engi likable, then crushing our hearts when he died so easily...very powerful. Loved it, can't wait for the next one!
