Ok, this is a bit different from 'To Rock.' Much darker, more story driven, slight religious undertones, and no foul language to speak of. There will be A LOT of violence, however, so keep that in mind.

This one's gonna be a bit of fun to do because rather than the strip format I used for 'To Rock...' this is a full page comic.

Basic rundown of the story...
In life, Spike Reynolds was a simple mechanic. In death, his want to see his damned wife caused him to join an elite squad of angels in order to score a deal with the higher powers to bring her to heaven with him.

Sounds a lot like Yu-Yu-Hakusho, except with a mugging instead of a car accident. Not that that's a bad thing, I liked Yu-Yu-Hakusho!

Groovy. Thanks for all the kind words. I've never seen Yu Yu Hakusho, but my friend's gonna let me borrow a box-set of em, so I'll see what you mean.

Yusuke Urameshi, the main character, gets run over by a car, dies, and returns to life to be a ghost detective. And that's not a spoiler, you could find all that out from the first few episodes (or at least, so I'm guessing. I read the manga, I never watched the anime)

I dig. There's a bit more depth to the backstory than that. But that'll unfold with time.

Well, it looks like with yours, you're kind of starting in medias res. The actual story starts with the first page, but the important details that make the story tick all happen before that.

[SpikeReynolds]

New page is up. For those of you who care. This strip, as long as I keep my **** together, will be weekly. Updates Tuesday at between 12 and 2 AM EST.

I'd love to check this out, but that site has too many things around the pages, which causes the PSP to complain about not having enough memory. I don't have my own laptop yet, so I wouldn't be able to read at my own pace. I guess this adds to my list of hype for the new laptop I'm supposed to get this summer .

[Fabbrizio]

That's a major downer. LOVE IT!

Why do I like depressing stuff so much? Am I some kind of psychopath?

Anyway, keep the updates coming, I need my weekly heroine shot fix of depressing entertainment!

[SpikeReynolds]

@Koh: Here, I'll direct link you to the images. Cut out a lot of the ads and BS.

Page 1
Page 2

@Powerguantlets: I like depressing too. Like I said before, this'll be a weekly gig, so you'll get your fix.

Oh now I see, it wasn't the site this time around, but the image dimensions. For PNG's, they won't load if you have the "Conserve Memory" setting on, and without it, the max dimensions for them are 1024 x 1024.

If DeviantArt has a mobile site, they should have a scaled down version, checking...

EDIT: Oh! I got it to work on SmackJeeves! Now I can check this out !

I recommend using the 3/4 profile a lot more. It's a technique you could definitely work on improving and it's very useful at that.

Also, really like the layout of that last comic. It's less of a story comic and more of a concept comic, and that's something to definitely work on and integrate more often.

Okay. Thanks for the advice and kind words. I used to use 3/4 a lot more. Dunno exactly why I haven't as much lately.
