First thing’s first: I need to link you to Friday’s What it Takes, a comic by Kez (who also draws another comic). Why am I doing this? Because I’m on that page! What it Takes is a fun post-apocalyptic story following the adventures of Colbey, a badass martial artist. So when Kez mentioned that she was looking for redshirts to die in the comic, I had to volunteer. Here’s to (hopefully) dying a horrible death!

While I was putting up the new site layout this week, I also took a few minutes to reorganize some of the supplemental pages, and realized that they could get pretty out of hand pretty quickly. In the interest of preventative maintenance, I start putting together a wiki called Chiopedia to keep track of all this stuff. Right now it’s locked down while I get some of the initial articles hashed out, but I’ll probably open it up soon for community editing if you’re into that kind of thing. The structure of a wiki makes so much more sense for the kind of information that goes on the article pages, anyway. I think there might also be a method for linking wiki/wordpress pages together, so that’ll be one of my future projects.

Other than that, I’ve been chipping away at getting book 2 put together. I’ve been drawing up a bunch of spreads to drop in behind things like the table of contents and throughout the book, because I’m planning to print this one in color. (Here’s a preview for one of them!) Next on the list is doing up various illustrations for the supplemental stuff. Now that I have a buffer for the next few updates, I can focus on getting this book together AT LAST. D:

That’s all for now, comic readers! Check back Friday for more!
