And conveniently makes us all want the book.

(And to be honest as far as reading from the beginning, Cyrik, I didn’t actually start this thing out with much of a plan when I started. Didn’t really know the real plot until chapter two. Yay for good planning! I still haven’t completely worked out all my plot points or my outline. I have an outline in my head, so I do know basically how it ends. But I haven’t totally worked it all out on paper yet. That’s what I’m trying to do at the moment. It’s a lot of work, but I think good planning is important to make the story as good as I want it to be. )

Although I tried to fix the beginning somewhat in the ebook. It reads a little better than what’s online. It’s a bit smoother, anyway. More to the point of the main plot. In fact, I took out chapter one completely, and start with the 2 prologues. Then I have a new sequence (or totally redone scene) to introduce it. But I hesitate to change the old stuff online. It’s kind of like what makes the book a little special.

Ha. yeah that’s kind of a bad pun, in this case especially

And that’s a good question, Cyrik? Was it all a coincidence they got together? Was it fate or destiny, or some special plot? We’ll have to find out. (I’m not even totally sure myself. )

I don’t believe in coincidences . . .

And “up his sleeve” is a bad pun – don’t use it any more. PLEASE!

Bentley I would imagine is old school…. His history is one that I really want to see delved into, yet despite that I hope a lot of it is kept in mystery. Instead of a whole back story arc, make us work for it by putting together little pieces here and there, clues and tidbits that are given a little bit at a time.

I wonder if it was coincidence that set him up with our hero… I’ll have to read the whole comic again to look.

Thanks for the clarification Outlandish. Ya, it’ll probably be easier to see what’s going on and the distinction needed once this page is cluttered. Here’s hoping you get the chance to get your world orbiting in the proper direction again! (And you get a Gold Star for not being afraid of some C.Crit. ^_^)

Bentley is cool like that. For those who remember his previous encounter with hordes of killer machines, … My only guess is that he must be going comparatively easy on our boy Frak (which is okay, cuz we get to see the action!)

Thanks! I’m glad you like it. This was such a hard page to do. I had to really look at a lot of comic art to get ideas.

Oh my goodness YES!!
I love it how Bentley has all sorts of weapons up his sleeve!
Btw, I loved how you had Wellington eating the…..animal.
I’d really love to see more about “where-he-came-from”, and “what-he-is”.
But still, keep the story going, I love it!

Oh, I can see how that might seem a bit confusing. I should make it clearer when I finish coloring. I the left panel, panel 4, just after the Ka-Ching, Frak has been thrown backward and he’s only got the remnants of his swords, not the whole blades. Then in the next panel he realizes they’ve been cut off. I’ll make sure it’s clearer in color.
