HyenaHell at 12:00AM, March 3, 2017
Well last week we had chaos and disruption, so reckon it's high time we reestablished some order around here. And to do that ya need rules, right?
Rules. Yeah… Oh boy.
Well fine, we ain't got to call it “rules”; we can think of it as a set ...
Start... Uh... Where?
HyenaHell at 1:02AM, Feb. 10, 2017
Huh. You're still here? I'll be damned.
Well then. Let's just go ahead and pick up where we left off last week, which if I recollect, was the beginning. Or at least, that's where you stepped into my world. Now, how you think about beginnings has ...

Everyone loves a good thriller, a titillating mystery, a tale full of twists and turns (that make sense), something that challenges you to find the answer before you’re given it at the final act.
I’m not sure how many like sitting down to construct them.

When Death Comes…
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 12, 2016
No matter what the genre, plot and general tone of your comic, death always is absolute.
