Another Touching Base? And so soon? And with a half point? Well, um, there is one big old reason for it, one of my aunts died. Not a super close one (just the way the family is) but the funeral is likely some time this week and I don't know if I'll have time to write something else. I WANT to write something else, just haven't had the time.
At the same time, there are some updates to make that I didn't cover last time, so I'll do it here now. This one is rather short.
I'll start with Punch an' Pie paused sometime last month due to technical issues, and the next month isn't looking too good either with the writer being buried in work and the artist on vacation (a month long vacation, lucky shit). Updates have been very sporadic, but I doubt the comic is coming to a complete halt, at least so far. When October comes, we'll see.
Return to Eden, a comic with a big warning at the beginning which goes pretty much nowhere after the first chapter, is finally starting to wind down. The last page of the story proper went up this week and all that's left is the epilogue. I will, of course, do my thing with comics that end with Return to Eden when it does end, which will probably be about the end of the year.
Though I will have to do that thing (I should come up with a name for it) for Shadowgirls, which officially declared itself dead this week. This actually took me by surprise as I thought they were planning to charge for it or go for paper publication, not, well, dropping it entirely. The problem comes strictly on the real life side of the equation, as in one of the artists is unemployed and needs time to finally get his house in order. I get it, and maybe, just maybe, they'll find time to restart it, but if not, well, what a damn shame.
Anyway, that was it. Hopefully I'll soon get the call on when the funeral is and we'll wrap that up. Next week is the two year anniversary of this blog. Will there be a new batch of comic reviews? Um, no, but I'll do something, at least.
