Extra Strength Nap Time

Last week, Page 22 went up and this week, the penultimate, Page 23 is up. We’re getting ready to give these electric dogboys the business.

With this, I think it’s also time to announce that the comic will be taking an extended break until later this year to catch up on real life work, commissions, and such. I’m aiming for somewhere between October and December…er…I mean August and October (the real world months, not the Electric Fencer ones) for the debut of Issue 3. I’ll have details closer to the date, but fret not, this space isn’t going to just be dead for the next four months. I have a number of updates planned, primarily aimed at content for the extras section, and some side content. Maybe a behind-the-scenes look at some things too. In the meantime, of course, Issue 3 will be worked on. I even have the first several pages ready.

For next week, Page 24 will go up and as a bonus, just to show you guys that I’m not just making shit up (as Elliott would put it), I’m also going to share some panels from the next issue to show you all what you can look forward to when we come back.

Until then, I’m going to get some very well-deserved rest.

D is for Distortion Beasts

Today on Page 20, we learn about distortion beasts. They look like giant magical eldritch good boys.

Giant magical eldritch good boys.

They’ve also been given their entry on the Characters page, with a bonus entry for Boss Distortion Beasts. We’ll be meeting these guys in proper soon. The characters page also received a slight change to how each character is numbered. Nothing big, but I foresee we may need the hundreds place for the number of characters at some point in the distant future.

HERE COMES (another) NEW CHALLENGER

Page 17 is up and with it we finally have a name for our mystery woman: it’s Tarragon! She’s been added to the character page in full. Tarragon has also received a site banner, which will cycle with the other banners on the site, so be on the lookout for it as well.

Speaking of character banners, I added a new banner for Elliott, this time based on his design featured on Monday’s Valentines, however, I also added one for Magnus. He hasn’t made many appearances in the comics yet, but based on my discussions with fans of the series, he seems to be a favorite, so here’s a little something of a treat for them as well.

Mystery Woman Revealed

This week’s page, 2-14, finally brings us to the person who sent Jiro to Ronan’s shop. Clearly, she’s the mystery woman who worked with Ronan and Wayland in the past, but just what lies behind those ruby red eyes?

I’ve got another little bit for the Extras section I’m working on. Not sure when I’ll have it up, but I made the image portion of it so next is the writeup. It’s a nice little bit of worldbuilding (quite literal) I’ve been working on for some time now. Stick around to see when it drops.

Snow Day

Sorry for the radio silence on this space the last few weeks. New Year has been pretty stressful, so I haven’t had the mental capacity to really write any formal blog updates for the site. However, the comic has been going up dutifully. Have you been staying on top of your reading? If so, treat yourself to one of these:

Page 11 and Page 12 went up over the last couple of weeks, and we’ve got another one coming on Wednesday. The story’s been moving a little slow right now, but I promise the payoff is worth it. It’s a snow day today, so if you’re behind, now’s a good time to get caught up. As always, if you’ve been with us from the very beginning, thank you for your continued support.

Like A Flash of Lightning

And for the final update of 2021, 2-10, and wow, what a note to end on. The requisite update has been made to Elliott’s bio. If it wasn’t immediately obvious, he’s THE Electric Fencer.

That’s a wrap for 2021, though I’m not sure how much fanfare is needed since we’re rolling right into 2022 with page 11 next week. In any case, if you’ve been with us this far, thank you for your continued readership, and we’ll see you in 2022.
