Has it really been over a month since I posted last?  Yeesh.  I guess not having internet access at home (virus problems) really crimps productivity.  

The third issue of The Order of Valor is now complete, over at Drunkduck -- check it out from the beginning HERE, and know that we're just getting started with our time-traveling Viking Horde.

Joe  and I just finished up a fun, three part "illustrated" version of "Requiem", the titular story in my most recent fiction collection.  We ran it on the Order webpage as a bit of a filler between Issues #2 and #3.  You can check it out here -- it's always fun to see your stories come to life.  I particularly liked the illustration for part 2 of the story, as Byron visits the Talley family with some bad news.

You can check it out HERE.

The second issue of The Order is now completed over at Drunk Duck -- check it out HERE. 

Plenty of good stuff in this issue -- Giant gorillas!  Sentient computer viruses!  Even a little old-fashioned romance!

Well, you can't say a little promotion doesn't help:  after a day and a half as the top featured book on Drunk Duck's main site, The Order of Valor is now the #31 book overall, and the #3 superhero book in total readership, despite having only a fraction of those other books total page counts. 

The #1 book is, of course, the gold standard of superhero webcomics, DJ Coffman's awesome Hero By Night.  


JANUARY 6th UPDATE:  Now five days into our front page exposure, we are the #2 superhero book, and #18 book overall, and still getting more hits in a day than we got in a month previously.  Ah, the power of exposure.  Just goes to show that it doesn't matter how good something is, if no one knows it's there, no one will read it.

The Order is the featured comic today over at Drunk Duck -- check out the blurb HERE.  

I don't know the usual surfing time for most webcomic readers, but it's not even lunch and we've already had over 10 times our usual visitors.

The first issue of The Order, created by artist Joe Jarin and myself, is now complete over at Drunk Duck.

You can check out the final few pages HERE, or read it from the beginning HERE. 

Silver Age fun, Digital Age format.  (Still working on a tagline.)

Next two pages are up:  See the remaining four members of the team in action!  Oz and Destiny, then Hotshot and Oceanna.  

Check it out HERE.

Next two pages are up HERE, including page 6, my favorite from the first issue. 

Joe (Jarin, the artist) is easily hitting his one page a week goal -- 6 pages (and cover) in the first 15 days.  Feedback's been pretty positive thus far, and I've also set up a page for the book at Webcomics Nation to go with the current Drunk Duck site.
