Christmas news

Heyo all.

So sadly I have to announce that there will be no updates for either Dec 26th or Jan 2nd due to spending the holidays with family and my own woeful lack of buffer updates. *le sigh* I miss my buffer. It was most...buffery.

Regular updates will resume Jan 9th along with a general site redesign, including a links hub and a backdrop that doesn't look like the background of an autumn season hallmark card.

Until then I wish you all well and will see you in 2015!

Magick Chicks - Tiffany

Tiffany

Tiffany? Who's Tiffany? Clearly that is Artemis Academy's MASKED AVENGER! Or at least that's what Tiffany wants us to think/thinks we think. She is also the resident wanabe monster hunter of Magick Chicks, which makes it ironic that she's training a witch and is best friends with a vampire. To say she's not the most effective monster hunter in the world would be an understatement.

Grrl Power - Sydney

Okay, so how many comics can you name that are based around a mostly female superhero group? I myself can only name three (Birds of Prey, The Fearless Defenders, and Femforce) and that frankly is an appallingly low number for a genre packed to the gills with super team ups, many of them all guy. Luckily the nature webcomics provides a bit more freedom in story concepts, which has yielded this rather nice little gem.

As the name implies, Grrl Power is a comic based primarily around a group of super heroines and Archon, the government overseen super hero agency they all work for. Much of the comic centers around the things that you'd expect a group of super heroines to do. You know, going on dates, discussing diets, saving the world, dismantling tanks, that sort of thing. Pretty light hearted for the most part, but deffinately a read for any fan of super heroes. (first comic)

Sydney

Sydney, aka "Halo," is the co-owner of a small comic book shop and the latest addition to Archon. By far the nerdiest (and shortest) of the superheroines of Grrl Power, Sydney is constantly dropping references to nerd culture and is the most genre savvy of the group. Her powers are derived from a series of seven orbs that orbit around her head, each with a unique ability, and can be activated when she grabs hold of one. However this means she's limited to using two abilities at the most at any given time.

Sometimes Sydney's imagination get's the better of her

*le gasp* The fiend!

Sadly the foot activated death ray just wasn't meant to be.

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand.

Misfile - Heather

To cap this month of Misfile, it's:

Heather

Heather is a recurring rival/antagonist of both Ash and Emily as well as a skilled street racer. She can be rather single minded at times and will give it her all to "win" at whatever challenge she applies herself to. This also means that she doesn't take loss and/or humiliation lightly and can hold a grudge with the best of them.

Misfile - bonus update

As promised, one bonus update. Here are some scenes featuring both Ash and Emily that were missed in their respective updates:

"Uh, mom? This really isn't what it looks like."

The again...

Maybe ma was onto something.

In case any of you are eager to move to something other than Misfile, tomorrow shall be the last Misfile update and next week we will once again be moving on to other webcomics.

Misfile - Cassiel

Third to plate is:

Cassiel

Cassiel is an angel who is part of the same branch as Rumsiel, the angel who caused the celestial misfile in the first place. She is also his ex girlfriend as well as Lucifer's niece, meaning she is literally of the devil's blood. While she is still a member of the heavenly beuracracy, unlike her uncle, like him she still has a penchant for pettiness and causing mischief. Luckily most of her attempts either backfire or are laughably ineffective.

Unlike the other angels currently living in/visiting Tempest, Cassiel has a human disguise which she uses on a regular basis.

Misfile - Emily

Continuing the month of Misfile next up it's:

Emily McArthur

The co-protagonist of series, Emily is a bit more mature than Ash due to essentially being a college girl stuck in a highschool girl's body. Originally on the fast track to Harvard, now that she's been given a chance to relive two years of her life she's begun to wonder if an Ivy league education is really what she wanted. Although nowhere near the level of Ash and his/her peers, Emily has developed an interest in racing.

Misfile - Ash

Imagine for a minute that there is a massive celestial filing system run by heaven, and the files in this system determine every physical aspect of every person on the planet. Age, gender, race, species, everything. Now imagine if you will what would happen if there was a misfile in a system that controls everything. Yeah, putting the one unmotivated, pot smoking angel to look after one of the filing branches probably wasn't the best idea.

The result of this celestial misfile has drastic consequences for two individuals: Ash Upton, avid street racer and car enthusiast who has gone from being a "he" to a "she," and Emily McArthur, who has now lost two years of her life and has gone right back to high school starting in her junior year. Everyone else is oblivious to these changes and only Ash and Emily are aware of what's happened to them. Their only hope of things going back to the way they were is to get the angel who caused the misfile back into heaven so he can restore the files to the way they were. If not, Ash and Emily's files will be locked and the two of them will be stuck the way they are for the rest of their lives. (first comic)

A quick note: this one's going to be a rather massive post, for in terms of foot scenes Misfile outstrips any other webcomic I have ever read. If memory serves the last count was around a hundred and ten pages with bare feet, most of them in prominent focus. Thus I've decided to divide Misfile across the next four updates.

Ash Upton

Ash is the main character of Misfile and the local street racing champion. For as long as s/he could drive, Ash as has racing as a way to clear his/her mind and forget the unpleasant things in life for a time. Ash's main car is a modified Merkur XR4Ti.

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 Cuties, Magick 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)

"Roomie"

The freespirited and playful main character of the series. A lover of life and people as a whole, Roomie is a master of living large and the common thread that connects her large circle of eccentric friends.
