Some Updates

Well, the new storyline has begun! Just a reminder - new pages after this point will be every Wednesday until I can get enough buffer to justify more than once per week. However, to help things out, there's always the Crossoverlord! Link in the "Champions" Dropdown.

Also, I've updated the Storylines Link with a better tabled interface as well as giving solicits for the next three storylines!

Good News and Bad News

Wow, what a reveal, eh?

Okay, now here's a briefing. As some of you are aware, it's difficult with my busy schedule to get comics out these days. It was easier when my artwork sucked and I wasn't shading, so I could churn out a whole bunch of pages in a single day without breaking a sweat. These days, the standards are higher both for myself and for you all. As such, sacrifices have to be made in order to keep the comic functioning.

I don't want to go on hiatus again. It loses readers and kills forward momentum on the comic. As such, the good news is we won't be going on hiatus. However, we WILL be switching to a once-weekly schedule after the Second Anniversary Fanart. I know, I'm not happy about it either, but this just makes me rededicate myself to making every page FRICKING AWESOME to make it worth your while. Once I have enough buffer, we'll go back to two or three times a week.

As such, following next week's Anniversary celebration, on Monday we'll have the cover to Issue 12 and then on Wednesday and every proceeding Wednesday, we'll have new pages.

OOH! And while it's still a work-in-progress, I'm making revisions to the Cast and Storyline pages to make them a little less unwieldy and I'll be posting up some new preview soliciations for future issues! For the Cast page, no more separate pages - all one page with the history marked down and a headshot of the character.

We're still celebrating!

Just a reminder to people that while the official anniversary was April 15th, the official celebrations for Lightbringer's second anniversary won't be until after this storyline finishes in another week! As such, I'm still accepting giftart from anyone who wants to do a guest page(s) or just a quick pinup. Thanks!

CROSSOVERLORD

This is what I've been building to, folks. That symbol that's been appearing (and will make one last appearance)? The Smiling Man's cryptic statements? Hell, the Smiling Man himself? All will finally be revealed:

CROSSOVERLORD! Two years in the making - a webcomic crossover event starring Lightbringer, Dasien, ANT, Mind Mistress, and Dead Debbie of Indefensible Positions! Cameoing dozens of heroes as they wish to be added! For now, right-click and create a new window for this:

STARTING APRIL 15TH!

The Upcoming Second Anniversary

As some may be aware, Lightbringer will be turning two in about a month. Obviously the storyline's going to cross into that, but I still want to celebrate the event once Issue 11 reaches its conclusion. As such, I'd love to have some guest art and guest strips come in. Think of it this way - I'm only on the beginnings of penciling Issue 12 and while I plan to have it all ready by the time Issue 11 is completed, at least you won't have another hiatus spring up in seven weeks. ^_~

Lightbringer Resumes March 10th

Hiatus will end in one week. Set your calenders!

MORE Updates!

All righty! The good news is that I have finished penciling the 22 pages of Issue 11 (wow, regular comic-length even!) The bad news is that I've been devoting so much time and effort to drawing the pages that I haven't gotten around to doing anything else with the inking and coloring. As a result, it's still going to take me awhile to get through that. Still, I'm thinking I'll just speed through it as quickly as I can and then I'll announce once I'm ready.

In other news, frequenters of the forum may notice things look a little different. The host provider for the Comic Genesis forums have done an update into a new version, so things are going to be a bit shinier from now on until they get everything working the way they want.
