Still trying to get back on track so 4-23 is still on hold. Being forced to rely on capitalism to survive is not it, man 🥲

4-22 is up, and we have a visitor! Can’t hold the cameraman up too long. He has psychic adventurers to document.
ETA on 4-23 is in the air at the moment as I have some things to take care of, but I’ll keep you all posted.
I should probably also take this time to announce that unlike previous issues, this one is going to run a little bit longer than before. If you recall, the plan was originally that Issue 3 would be 24 pages long. Then rewriting the issue for pacing led to making Issue 3 run for about 36 pages. Then that went bust and I split the chapter into Issues 3 and 4. We accomplished everything we wanted to do in Issue 3 in 24 pages, but didn’t hit that mark for Issue 4. In fact, we overshot it. Issue 4 will actually be 32 pages long! Don’t worry, this time I won’t chicken out and split the issue again. To be honest, that’s not really a feasible solution this time around, especially since I want Issue 5 to cover completely new content.
Work obligations have made getting the comic done a bit rougher than in the past, but we’re gonna make it through this 😤
4-22 On Hold
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.electricfencer.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image.png?resize=978%2C892&ssl=1)
As predicted, things got a little hectic this past week, so I’m putting 4-22 on hold until next week. It’s about halfway done, at least!
See you guys then!

Ronan gets in touch with emotions long thought buried on Page 4-21. This is a side of himself he really needs to show more often, yeah?
Page 4-22 is underway, though I do have a couple engagements situated right next to it, so we’ll see what happens after that. Issue 4 is turning out to have a mind of it’s own! Lots of good stuff coming soon.
The World Map, Revisited
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.electricfencer.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image-1.png?resize=1140%2C402&ssl=1)
Elliott, Lee, and Ronan have a very brisk meeting with destiny today on Page 4-20! The siblings seem none too thrilled about it.
Today’s page was also a chance to bring up the world map! So far, five countries are highlighted: The Salemian Union, Amaerys (both of which were already covered in the previous Extras article I wrote), Marahoya (which has been vaguely mentioned a few times in the story already), Nukuria, and Pharaon. We’ll be learning about those countries as we go along. The other how many or so…maybe passing mentions in the narrative? Asappon, Lafrans, Dragomasca, Ladurana, and Svetalán have been brought up at some point.
I still need to do the rest of that article on the world map. One step at a time, maybe.
Get you someone who looks at you like

4-19 is up and we have a new character, Lado! You can learn more about him on the Characters Page. He’s actually a character I developed for a much older iteration of the comic and at one point dropped wholesale due to the sheer number of characters in the traveling party at the time. I figured we needed some more members of the Astral Conservatory to work with, so why not give an old friend his job back? Whaddup, Agent L-Deezy?! Glad to have you aboard once again.
4-20 (yes blaze it ha ha very funny moving on) is in the pipeline and will be out next week, barring any unforeseen outages. I had Techokami look under the hood and we’re hoping the problem is at the very least contained for now.
Site Troubles
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.electricfencer.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image.png?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1)
Had some issues with the site the last week or so and as such, I actually WASN’T able to get 4-18 up like I planned. But it’s up now.
Since the comic wasn’t up as scheduled, I’m going to let the new page have a little time in the spotlight and push 4-19 to next Wednesday. See you then!
Sort of a Two-fer?

Page 4-17 is now up, but also, I completely forgot to post that Page 4-16 also went up last week 😬
4-18 will be going up next week, though I do have a bit of frustrating news to share…There may or may not be a hiatus in the coming weeks due to how bad this summer has been for comic creation. I’ll try to stave it off for as long as I can, and even try to get multiple pages done to have a steady stream of content. Apologies in advance!
I’ve taken on a lot of new responsibilities at work, so this aspect of my life has taken something of a hit, but we’ll see things through.
Vacation…I mean…*RESCUE MISSION* Planning

Page 4-15 is up and it seems like Renée has other ideas as to what’ll be happening in the days to come.
We’ve been having a bit of trouble with the server again. Not entirely sure what’s causing it this time, but we’re looking into the issue.
Taking a Step Back

Page 4-14 is up, and this one is a bit light on the humor, but for good reason. Healing takes time. This page shows us a more affectionate and introspective side to Ronan. Lee’s not much for talking about her feelings, but her emotions speak volumes.
