Happy TUESDAY!
I have a special treat for you…
My buddy Frank Cho (Marvel Superstar Artist for Wolverine, Avengers, and Xmen) has sent me the first sketches of the EPIC DREAMLAND CHRONICLES POSTER he’s working on for our Kickstarter!
I asked Frank to take my Dreamland Chronicles characters and draw them in his style. This is his take on Nicodemus.
This is just the left side of what will be an enormous 22×57 inch poster.
The ONLY way you can get it is if you back the Kickstarter. ALL backers ($25 and up) will get a FREE copy of the poster.
I’ll continue to post updates as I get them.
But the Push Goal we’re shooting for is $25k for everyone to get the free poster (that will cover my costs of printing and shipping to everyone).
We’re not even halfway through our Kickstarter and well on our way to that Push Goal. So we SHOULD be okay.
Still. Help get the word out. The Nicodemus Plush is just past that Push goal too.
*lol* Dan gotta find a better hideyhole for his sword I reckon. ^^ Besides – I’m a grown man far into the thirties and I still get questions from me old ones concerning my bro – whether he’s got a lady or not. Well. I’m not one to be coerced into telling stories be there tasty food or not (can cook for myself, so big deal^^) So I do know about this being cornered by concerned parents. Find it quiiite funny from third point perspective. ^^
“Great, so instead of Mom finding it, we’re going to risk Campus Security noticing it instead? Mom wouldn’t arrest you at least for having it.”
See, if Dan just hangs out at fantasy/comic conventions, he can carry Excalibur in public and no one would bat an eye.
no, it would be “peacebonded” with a plastic cable tie. For all the good that’d do XD
I do have to say though that is one realistic cardboard box!
OK… I’ve got to say I find it hilarious to picture convention security handling the real Excalibur. :p
So how long will Dan lug that sword in a cardboard box around for???
Looks like a perfect opportunity for the shadow wraiths to strike?!?!?!?
Meh, it’s just for the convenience of the story that he carries the sword. I’m sure something will happen, and fortunately he’ll have the sword with him.
OK, so I just caught up on about three months worth of the story and I noticed something odd; Nastajia’s armour seems to have acquired a mirror-like gleam. I mean it was green with a bit of shine to it before, but now it seems to be more like a mirror with a green tint. Did I miss something along the way?
Did I miss a page? All this suspense that had been built up with the baddies on the house rooftop “last night” and we skip to “What do I do with the sword?” the next morning. That is just plain torture.
We’ve waited for weeks to know what would happen to them and… nothing. I think that the reader comments are what make this a great comic. It’s their fault that a possible encounter with the baddies that same night was expected.
Except that the author didn’t quite help out by dispelling any of those speculations.
He should go to the Scottish Games. everyone there- or at least 70% of everyone there- is armed, and swords are left mostly unsheathed and unrestricted.
jim butchers idea of a full golf club bag would look less dorky. i’m thinking he’s wishing it could turn into a necklace for easy carriage. also a custom sized art tube wrapped against a backpack so as to cover the handle guards poking out the top half. any other possibilities folks?
Based (entirely) on the Highlander movies and TV shows, any sword can be concealed by a long coat. So Dan just needs a trench coat or duster (and some Highlander physics) and he can carry the sword anywhere.
😉
oh wow, i’m sure this is old news, but the night time header for this site is bee-yoo-tiful! I never come on here at night.
TWC status update.

A tiny push and we go up. A very tiny slip and we fall down. Vote, fellow Readers!
my family wouldn’t bat an eye at me having a sword but id carry around excalibur too id be afraid some one might steal it !
There are other ways to carry it around, Dan. A guitar case (like they use to do with tommy-guns), or a pool stick carrying case, or even a telescope case would fit your personality more, and no one would bat an eye. Just make sure you have the blade secured before putting it in the bag.
The box looks great though! Looks extremely real!
I suspect the baddies are scared of Excalibur. Once they saw he had it and it reacted to their presence, they drew back until they could figure out what to do.
As long as Dan has Excalibur that would mean the brothers are probably safe on Earth, and Alex can handle himself in Dreamland. That leaves Nicole. Unprotected.
He should join SCA. Nobody would look at him twice. 🙂
He looks like he just left the pirate auction at PARF.
That will be a problem when they go back to school, but right now they’re still at home. And unless stopped by the local police, have little to fear. Also from the looks of it they’re approaching the lake to see if they can have another chat with Niviene. That will be interesting, Alex being able to talk to a Dreamlander in real time.
They may also thrash out this “Alex leave, Dan take over being King” position of hers…
or you could TELL your mom you have a sword. She’s probably more likely to freak out over the secrecy than the sword itself.
Hey mom! look what i made in Arts and Crafts today! Can we put it on the fridge?
Guitar/Bass case!! Slung on his back!
Either that or start a sword collection buahaha
Just say it’s for LARPing.
