Writer Notes

Set in my fav city, New Nancy, its a tale about a out of luck zipboy. He gets a chance to make a big score. However his luck as always is poor. Its a sad tale of loss and failure but somebodies got to tell it, maybe just maybe there is a happy sparkling ending.

I'm working on this ones notes and it should be done by Christmass.

Claire's Notes

Off the bat I would like to say yummy for Ren's artwork. Well I started Uni and hadn't been drawing a comic for over a year and I met an amazing artist and friend. Ren and I think along similiar brainwaves of insanity. we made two characters inspired from the likes of MegaTokyo, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and Penny Arcade. Ren and I didn't talk about it at the time but I avoided the male/female dynamic for reasons of I didn't want it to become a relationship comic. I feel the two characters are more readily able to convey our weird connection because of it.

The comic ran down slowly over a peroid of months and the University work became more intense. I didn't want to work on the comic myself and well things unraveled. We still joke about getting the comic back together but I dont think it will happen. Still I wonder sometimes if Tiren ever got pwnd by the skeletal goldfish or if Mike got a job.

PS. I'll get Rheno to add his two pennies to this page ;)

Summary

A look into the life of Alex a few years after the events at Castle Doc. What scars still haunt him at night, will he ever be free from the darkness.

Creator Notes

The original intent of this story was to firmly bring the SAD characters into the Channel of Power world. The story was originally broken into three parts. The first part is complete, and the other two written. I was quitting drugs and many things in my life changing so sadly i had to shelve the other two parts. I have since rewritten those two parts and I intended to publish the second part after the Poor Boy story is complete. The third part has to wait for a while.

Summary

Set in the Drakensberg and Midlands of South Africa this tale about two lost traverlers devolves into a nightmarish trip into absurdity. Whats start off as innocent antics moves onto shapeshifters, mad scientists, angry women in leather, little green men and of course things exploding.

Creator Notes

Well its been what feels a lifetime ago since I sat down with my new Wacom tablet and thought about drawing a comic. It is almost literally a lifetime ago. Oh well I was young and made MANY mistakes. This is here more to encourage people with the thought of if she used to be this bad maybe I can do it to. The truth is reading lots of brilliant comics isn't encouraging for a starting person because you feel like a talentless idiot. When I saw Jamies first comics I knew I could do it, because she has improved leaps and bounds and produces great comedy.

About the universe, this was intended for a school Zine but after a few runs the Zine collapsed. So when I started I was in the realm of reality. However shortly after I started pulling this into my world Channels of Power. Sadly my friends are given author credits because I was doing shameless catering to their whims at times, its kind of obvious. So well it does start in reality it ends in a paranormal sense of things.

I will have more detailed notes on the actual comic pages as you read. I have compiled several comics into bundled pages to speed up the process, and removed bad filler art. Its a funny read for me because it makes me cringe. I originally gave a character based on me a cameo role and she became a magor plot element, god I'm self centred. Oh well enjoy, and remember this is how NOT to do a comic.
