All the old comics can be found here. Now for the explanation.

When I started the comic, having just retired Knightwatch, I had a plan. This plan was simple: I was going to write a comic that was close to home. A shoujo/shounen romantic comedy series. That got waylaid the minute Rich showed up, because I hadn't defined the other characters well, and things were suddenly moving too quickly. The audience barely knew Matt or Sera, and the only character who was remotely interesting was Liz. She was exaggerated enough to be memorable. Everyone else was just there.

When I realised this, I took it under my belt and considered trying to force the issue, and make it better as I went along. Ordinarily, this works. However, the foundations for the comic needed re-mastering, so I said "Hey what the hell, keep the general idea and space things out a little more". Then, I got rid of the comic I was working on and started thinking up episode 1 from scratch. Lo and behold, that's what you've got in front of you today. I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm going to try to hold the course this time and keep up with frequent episodes. The cast page is sparse at the moment, but it'll get an update as warranted. Matt, Sera, and Liz will all return. There'll also be some substitutions and additions for the rest of the cast, but I'll let you find out who's in and who's out as we go along.

Thanks for sticking with me. Liz'll be here to comment once in awhile as well, so keep an eye out for when she posts.
