Walking on Broken Glass - Kennedy and Maria

'Allo all.  And happy Halloween!

Ask yourself: what would you do if you knew you were going to become a sadistic serial killer with a taste for live dismemberment and torturer?  You're a pretty nice guy but you know (not think, know) that somewhere down the line something's going to happen to you to make you an absolute monster.

Such is the dilemma that faces Nick Grey, CEO of Grey Incorporated, werewolf, and victim of prophetic dreams.  His is a world of magic and monsters, were you have every right to be afraid of things that go bump in the night.  The job of Nick and his associates is investigate cases of paranormal violence and if possible bring in/eliminate the perpetrator.  However the more good Nick does, the more people are drawn to him.  And as he believes that he will inevitably butcher everyone around him, having people get close to him is the last thing he wants. (first comic)

Kennedy Parker
Kennedy is Nick's best friend and action secretary, meaning she has a gun and she knows how to use it.  Both she and Nick have feelings for each other but he is reluctant to let her close because she is main subject of his prophetic dreams.  While cheerful, she's not afraid to speak her mind and to let Nick know when he's acting like an idiot. 






Maria Johnston
Maria is the youngest member of the local werewolf pack and one of the few that awakened at birth.  She considers the pack to be akin to her family, as she barely remembers her biological family.

Magick Chicks - Melissa

Another direct spin off of Eerie CutiesMagick Chicks tells the story of three witches transferred to a all girls monster hunting academy as punishment for causing trouble at their old school.  The three must keep their identities as supernaturals a secret while going about their daily highschool lives, lest they be slain by a hoard of fanatic huntresses.  (first comic)

Melissa Hellrune
Melissa is the leader of the Hellrune coven and the main protagonist of the story.  At first glance she's your typical queen bee wannabe, although she genuinely cares for her friends.  Arrogant and proud to a fault, much of the story deals with her getting thoroughly knocked down by life and slowly building herself back up along with the help of a somewhat air headed huntress in training and a magical girl heritage she'd rather forget.

Oh yeah, we also find out that she's a magical girl witch.  Or is that witch magical girl?  Well, you get the idea.  It's one of those series.

Melissa and her mighty coven in the face of the washroom ghost.
Fear the fairy!  Fear her!
Dream sequence or a loose interpretation of a "causal dress code?"  You decide!

Delay: film school windup

Woof!  What a week!  So a little fact about myself: I am a film student.  And as a student of film I occasionally partake in the most ancient tradition of film making, that of the crunch deadline.  As Murphy's Law is a bitch and seems to love film makers, we encountered some...delays.  Namely our guy responsible for post production dialogue flaked out hard on us and one of our crucial scenes never got shot.  In the end we got the film finished but let's just say it was exciting for awhile.

So yeah, that's what's been happening in my life the past few days.  Sorry for the delay all.  This weeks update will be up in a few and next week we will be back to our regular schedule.

Go Get a Roomie! - Roomie

Imagine if you will a slice of life story with oodles upon oodles of colorful characters that explores the meaning of open love.  If you imagined the San Francisco Castro during the sixties, I wouldn't blame you.  And you wouldn't be that far off from the feeling one gets when reading Go Get a Roomie.

The series follows the adventures of Roomie, a wild, happy go lucky girl who is constantly wandering into people's lives and sometimes their bedrooms.  Most of the story after the first couple of chapters focus on her interactions with Lillian, a woman who's affinity for sleep borders on narcoleptic.  Many, many antics ensue.

In short, a story about the light hearted side of a kinky life that mixes beer, sex, and heartwarming character moments that will make you laugh one page and go "Awwww!" the next.  Not for the lover of angsty drama. (first comic)

Newman - Emaline

Hmmm.  Good thing I decided to check before I went to bed as it appears mah blog's auto-update is acting persnickety.  Well anywho, time for an update!

---

Before the current run of Newman there was a version the artist did where Newman had a different partner and had some sort of destiny as the ultimate hero who must sacrifice everything in order to save the world.  Sadly the series was never completely finished but is referenced to in the modern run of Newman.  (comic vault)

Emaline
Emaline is a fairy and Newman's partner during the first run of the comic.  The penultimate antagonist was directly responsible for the death of her father and she seeks to stop him.  Newman cared deeply for her and towards the end even proposed to her but for whatever reason it didn't work out.

Late update

Hello all.  Some unexpected business came up that's going to keep me out late so this week's update is going to be a couple of hours later than usual.  However you should still expect it to be up by 2:00 am PST.  Until then, take care.

Newman - Gwen

Imagine if you will a modern day fantasy world where gnomes, elves, wizards, and so on all live in a city that could pass for present day Chicago.  The days of knights in shiny armor and high adventure are gone but monsters, fell beasts, and abominations of nature still remain.

Enter the Creature Removal Department, or the C.R.D. for short, a government agency tasked with keeping the people safe from monsters.  Two of the best agents of the C.R.D. are Newman, a cynical gnomish sword user with a standoffish attitude but a heart of gold, and Gwen, drow sharpshooter skilled at sniping monsters with arrows and Newman with snark.  Despite their differences though the two make an excellent monster fighting duo and good thing too.  For the land of modern day fantasy is still full of much weirdness that will not go down without a fight.  (first comic)

Gwen
No further introduction needed really.  But since I abhor wasted space, let's go over a bit more about Gwen and by extension Newman.  She and the titular gnome are partners in the C.R.D. and after the first chapter they're also a couple.  Gwen at times has difficulty with her drow heritage, especially in the case of Newman as drow genetics/courtship rituals means that technically Newmann is her quite literally her "love slave."  Not that he seems to mind that much.   Gwen also has the quirk of dressing up Newman in frilly dresses 'cause she thinks he looks cute in them.


















Do NOT try to mess with Gwen and run away.

The old drow ceremonial armor comes in hand on Halloween.
