The Code Crimson

We are so happy to share this drop dead gorgeous guest art by the incredibly talented C. A. Morgan of The Dracko Universe Graphic Novel. This is absolutely how I imagine Crimson would look like, if only she was a real girl instead of an adorable cartoon.

In other news, Free Comic Book Day was quite a success! We’d like to thank everybody who picked up a free copy of the prologue at Tate’s Comics and The Trouble with Girls All-Female Art Revue. We gave away our entire stash, but we reserved a handful of signed copies still for sale at our online store. Order yours now, before they’re all gone!

We’ll be back in a few weeks with Issue 3: Terrible Things. In the meantime, we’re still looking for guest comics. Send us your art for a chance to see you or your character make a cameo in the next issue.

So concludes issue 2! Thank you for joining us on this adventure. We launched this comic with the prologue more than a year ago, and we’ve got good news if you’ll be in South Florida during Free Comic Comic Book Day on May 4! We’ll be giving away the prologue issue at Tate’s Comics, my favorite comic book store of all time. I can’t even describe how excited and grateful we are for the opportunity to share this crazy comic with everybody.

Curious as to what Crimson just read on-screen? We’ve posted it to our Facebook page. Check it out, and give us a like, if you’re so inclined.

We’ll be taking a few weeks off of the main story line to work on a few website updates and prepare to launch issue 3. But worry not, we’ve got some fabulous guest comics in store for you and we’ll be posting art and other assorted spoilers regularly. We’re still looking for more guest comics, so if you’d like the chance to have you or your character make an appearance in a future issue, send us some art!

We’ve thought a lot about how the dual existence between Serena and Crimson would work out. I always imagined how frustrating it would be for Crimson, trapped, silent, no control over any aspect of her life. A prisoner. I’m not sure that’s changed. If someone else can wake up and take over, is she free?

I love the idea of Fitz as a thieving little goth kid. We’re getting so close to the end!

Just two more updates and we’ll be taking a little break, hopefully filled with fabulous guest comics and many updates of our work in progress. Would you like a chance to have your likeness in a scene in issue 3? Just send us some guest art!

Ah, those mysterious postcards… They truly are spoilers, including one for the very next issue! Fitz received quite a few postcards from the future in issue 1, and this won’t be the last time you see them. Each has its own story to tell.

Issue 2: Page 20

Can you believe we’re already on page 20? Which means issue 2 is almost finished! We will be taking a few weeks off before launching issue 3 to build up a little buffer and work on the website, which will soon feature a fabulous character page and section detailing the story so far for new readers. Is there anything specific you think we should add?

In the meantime, check out our new TV Tropes page! Please feel free to add any tropes you think are relevant. If you’ve never been on the site before, prepare to lose many hours discovering the prevailing themes, plots, and character archetypes common across all media.

We’d also like to put a call out for guest comics! We always love sharing guest art while we’re away from the comic. If you’re interested, email us or contact us on Facebook or Twitter.

Issue 2: Page 16-17

Sometimes you get the robot, sometimes the robot gets you. That’s just how the universe works.

I’m afraid I’ve been called out of the country for a family emergency, so we’ll have to leave it at this little cliffhanger for the next couple weeks. Fear not, for we have plenty of art and a guest comic on the way to keep all you dear readers entertained.

Happy Valentine’s day to all you lovely boys and girls out there! Hope you enjoy this electrifying transformation scene. This year, we’re participating in the Valentine’s Day Sex Drive, organized by Stef Marcinkowski of Sarah Zero. Starting Thursday, all of the comics below will be featuring their characters in various stages of undress. Warning, most of theses are incredibly NSFW! Or kids and stuff, heh. You’ve been warned…

This fierce guest art is courtesy of the incredibly talented Cary Polkovitz, a South Florida painter who recently launched a successful Kickstarter for Often Overlooked, a book featuring his evocative short fiction alongside seemingly mundane photography. We were quite honored when he sent us this alluring sketch!

We’ll be back next week with more fascinating tidbits from Serena’s intriguing past in the form of a two-page spread featuring all sorts of surreal marine monsters.

Issue 2: Page 11

So we begin to unravel her mysterious past! There’s definitely some darkness, but also a cool explosion so that’s pretty nifty. The next few pages shall be devoted to exploring oceanic depths, and more of her intriguing history. But don’t worry, there’s a giant eyeball robot on the way as well.

Next week we may have fabulous guest art, as the lovely Lisa is currently preparing for her very own art show on February 9 at Undergrounds in Fort Lauderdale.
