Page 1345…
Well…we made 4 pages this week…despite the computer problems.
As always…thank you for your patience when things go KABLOOEY!
I’m going to be putting the finishing touches on Book Five this weekend.
I’ll be sending the book out early next week.
If any of you are so inclined…I would LOVE to make sure we catch some typos.
Head over to Chapters 15 and 16 and see what you see.
Leave me whatever notes you can here. I’ll be checking throughout the weekend.
Other than that…I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
See you on Monday!
Scott
Monday was Labor day! 4 comics is right on schedule >D.
Here’s to next week having less technological explosions, and lots of awesome pirate pwnage. muahahaha >D.
ooohh.. there be pirates! Harr!!
Nasti looks decidedly icy&scary in frame 3 8O. Alex better be careful with this woman…
*Nick appears
Twas just a flesh wound!
Love the comic. So please don’t take this as trolling. You seem to be very keen on small details. Was the “when I thrust(ed) the sword…” intentional? Should be past tense?
That grammar is OK. “Thrust” can be past tense.
Aye, the past tense of “thrust” is “thrust”. “Thrusted” isn’t technically a word.
“Through his BLACKENED heart? Well ya know, dragons have TWO hearts, and this treaty is still valid as long as any of them is still beating!”
🙂
Is it just me or does Felicity look less than pleased to be part of the pirate destroying party?
And where did Alex land? He was in the lead. Headed for the captain’s perch? Fore deck or helm, maybe?
And yeah, Nastajia’s reply is interesting, citing the Sword of Kings’ use against ol’ Nic. That’s gotta make a statement!
I’m waiting for Paddington to land on the flying (for now) ship.
She’s purdy… 🙂
And the pirates are so concentrated on the here and now with the elf, that they don’t seem to have noticed the fact that she was flying, which only happens when a human is nearby… And if they had enough time to think about it, and to think on the fact that they would not endanger the life of a human child, and had they heard about Alex, being an adult human in Dreamland…
Well, they may not be so cocky… but they don’t have time for logic, right at the moment, do they…
Yeah, I imagine Nastajia’s statement is going to raise pirate eyebrows. It might be the news hadn’t filtered into the Nightmare Realm yet on exactly what happened and they didn’t know.
Or that it did and this is a trap. That would be some pretty fast and impressive work on the part of the Ruler of the NR, to put together bait in the form of a pirate ship traveling through Dreamland, and a hidden punch with unexpected and great power concealed within, all in the hope of luring Alex into landing on board where he could be attacked. Pretty iffy, but possible. I guess we’ll see.
That last panel sent a shiver down my spine, and in a good way. Definitely a page worth waiting for Scott, thanks for getting it to us in spite of the technical issues! Nastajia really was born to be a queen, and a Warrior Queen at that!
‘eee’s idea is intriguing though, if this really IS a trap (doubtful but technically possible), it’s a very cunning one.
what are you going to do? bleed on me?
Scott, you forgot part of the dialog. You need to add “… and twisted it around with glee and joy” right after “blackened heart” 🙂
As for your technical problems I would be happy to be your personal IT department, you just may have to fly me down from NY once in a while.
And after that you should put “and then drove his battered body before me while listening to the lamentations of his women.”
I like how Nastajia doesn’t pull any punches there 😀
DUDE NASTAJIA IS SUCH A B-A RIGHT NOW.
OMG are dragons related to time lords?!?!
Awesome page. Lots of fine mood!
“I’m invincible!”
“You’re a loony!”
Gotta love Nastajia breast and only her breast appearing in the second frame. lol
NASTAJIA: For, since the tragic death of Nicodemus–
PIRATE #2: He’s not quite dead!
NASTAJIA: Since the near fatal wounding of Nicodemus–
PIRATE #2: He’s getting better!
NASTAJIA nods discreetly to a SOLDIER standing to one side. The SOLDIER slips off. NASTAJIA’s eyes watch him move round to where NICODEMUS is lying.
NASTAJIA: For, since Nicodemus, who, when he seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him.
NICODEMUS: Uugh!
PIRATE #2: Oh, he’s died!
Now THAT’s an interesting theory!
Why do you think “cat pirate’s” eyes are so wide.

Scott,
For the proofreading do you want us to look for only typos or also for rendering errors?
I was going to say something about that but I left it to your other readers.
I doubt it, judging from the conversation amongst the pirates before Alex’s team came within earshot..
That’s what I was thinking too… Why is Nastajia speaking on behalf of the King of Dreamland when he was supposedly right there with them and leading the charge? Sneak attack? =D
Anything.
I think there were a lot of typos and rendering issues talked about on the pages themselves, if there were any. Your fans seem to be pretty quick to nitpick things. Don’t get me wrong, when it comes to music, I’m the same way- so maybe it’s just the fact that I wasn’t an comic arts major, but even with music I can still learn to enjoy it and just tell people they did a good job once in a while.
TIL Thrusted is not a word. =D Well I feel foolish. I never knew that one… interesting. Thanks =D.
Why couldn’t Alexander have killed him????
Don’t worry, Alex will probably get another chance to kill Nic. Again. After all, main bad guys never died unless you actually see them die.
thats assuming he actually was a main char… i think he was more of a redshirt entertaining us for a while and substituting for the real evil arch nemesis somewhere out there in the nightmare realm… so hopefully he does what every good redshirt does… and stays dead 😛
You are my new favourite thing.
