Shockwave and Elita-1 TEAR IT UP in today’s Transformers #9

A gut-wrenching issue that leaves you ravenous for more! Again and again this series leaves my jaw hanging. Where it’s going is hard to say, but not everyone is going to make it and it’s going to be BRUTAL.

ISSUE #9 IS HERE!

So much work and love has been put into Issue #9, our special Doubles Issue which features two beautiful novellas on polar ends of the same fantastical aesthetic spectrum. These stories speak to each other in interesting ways, playing on themes of love and devotion, and how those feelings become distorted by the nature of time. For this issue, we took inspiration from a French bookbinding method called tête-bêche ("head to tail") binding. Whichever way you hold it, you'll be looking at the front of one of the novellas, upside down to the other and eventually meeting in the middle. So fun!

In "Missing Ange" by Erica Cheng, ambitious engineering student Wes is kidnapped and taken to the future by Lyra, a time traveler desperate to solve the mystery of her brother Ange’s disappearance, having supposedly died in a lab accident related to the invention of time travel. A mystery unfolds, with Ange at the center of everything.  

In "Adelina and the Bug Parties" by Allison Stalberg, Lu the luna moth and Adelina the faery seamstress fall in love at a praying mantis wedding. They attend all kinds of bug parties, from termite birthdays to spider funerals. During and between the parties, Adelina learns how to cherish the most fleeting of moments as her low-stakes life meets the high stakes of the insect kingdom in this absurdist but poignant fairytale.

This sequence is phenomenal. So well done from every single aspect. The direction, writing, art, coloring, and emotional beats are all flawless.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SONIC UNLEASHED! Today 16 years ago, the game that inspired me on this journey came out... At this point I want to say I'm super grateful of all of your support. All the comments I get on a daily basis are what's really keeping me going. I'm very close to the end now, only one issue left, and I'm really excited to show off the finale because I'm super proud of what I cooked here. That being said; thoam will take a break now. Issue 10 will release in january with the same weekly monday schedule! 2026 we'll have to say... goodbye. But I hope you'll stick around because I am not leaving comics behind! There's still so much to do... which you will see eventually. Thoam issue 10 already has it's first 5 pages out for early access members. Super early access is already on page 15 even.

Making Enemies: the original duel decks.

It just had to be Rosewater, right? Early issues of The Duelist are wild. Although I was surprised it took until issue 8 until I found any decklists — that weren’t examples of limited pools or part of tournament reports at least. Issue 4 did have a run down on how you can make smart trades and take advantage of Ante to improve your starter deck (essentially a bigger booster pack with basics) and…

"You living people are all the same. You all think dying...disappearing...is the best way to atone. As if the life of a murderer could ever atone for anything.

"DESTROYING ME WOULD ONLY BE A RELEASE! I...I STILL HAVE THINGS I NEED TO DO HERE!!"
