First order of business: a pile of fanart acquired over the past week or so! 😀

But not one of them is a contest entry! I’ve even extended the deadline by one full week, so if you’ve been thinking about entering now’s your chance! There are not many entries, so you still stand an awesome chance at winning one of the prizes!

There’s also a brand-new vote incentive this week, drawn by the one and only Chu of Slightly Damned! Be careful, though, you might just die of the cuteness!

Since some of my friends’ comics and Messenger share some audience members, I thought it would be a nifty idea to slap each of our TopWebComics voting links on one convenient page. Now, you can bookmark one single page and get all your votes in together, as well as automatically pass it on to your friends through Twitter, Facebook, and basically everything under the sun! Check it out! Go hive go!

Last, but not least, it’s time for the next round of Webcomic Book Club courtesy of the members of Palace in the Sky! Our “assignment” this week was to check out Cy-Boar, an action/superhero comic by Lou Graziani. It’s a fun story with interesting art, especially if you grew up being into things like the Ninja Turtles as a kid. You can check out our reviews and add your own commentary on the Palace in the Sky Blog! Next up is actually Messenger, which makes me both excited and nervous!

200 pages! Comics! Other stuff!

200 pages! Comics! Other stuff! published on 3 Comments on 200 pages! Comics! Other stuff!

It’s Monday, and yet another update! This is Messenger’s 200th page! I should really be closer to 300 pages by now, but there was that one year during school where I just kind of fell off the comics-making face of the Earth. Whoops. Now, on to 300!

Just a reminder that the Fanart Contest is now underway! Remember, the deadline for entry is August 25th! There are categories for just about anything you can think to create, so don’t feel like you can’t enter if you don’t want to draw!

In other notes, that Webcomic Book Club thing I’m doing with Palace in the Sky has some official blog-posting stuff going on now as well. You can follow along with our Comic of the (bi)Week, since we’re talking about a different comic every two weeks.

Since that only takes place every two weeks or so, I figured I’d take the time in-between scheduled reviews to plug some of my friends’ comics. This week I’ve decided to feature Lunavis by my friend, Pompolic!


Lunavis is kind of a sci-fi/fantasy/adventure story in a semi-futuristic world. Locke is a doctor being sent across the front lines in the war against the Demons, where he meets a very unusual girl. Although Lunavis is just barely about to break 30 pages, it’s well-written with an intriguing story and an entertaining sense of humor throughout. Check out Lunavis! (And bug Pomp to make more pages!)

That’s about all for now. Check back Friday for the next page!

Hey comic readers! It’s Monday again, and that means another new page. So Annabelle is a Messenger. Just how many of these people are there? And why should Aki care? Stay tuned!

Webhosting Dilemmas

Summer is already halfway over (what is this nonsense? where did the time go?) and unfortunately for me, that means that my webhosting bill is coming up a couple of weeks from now. I’ve spent most of the summer in-between freelance jobs and searching for a more permanent job, but that’s all still in the process and I haven’t landed anything just yet. (Though I’m crossing my fingers, for sure.) Though I’ve made a little bit from running advertising on the site, I’m still a decent way off from what I need.

So I propose this: If I round down the cost to $100, and can collect that in donations or commissions by August 13, I will update twice a week for the whole month of September, Mondays and Wednesdays. Also, if you donate $10 or more, I’ll draw a digital sketch for you of the character of your choice, so it’s kind of like a dirt cheap commission. I’m currently working on a new donation wallpaper that will be up in the next few days, and anyone who donates any amount will receive that, at least. I hate having to do something like this but I’m straight up out of options at this point. :/

If you can’t help out by donating, you can always help out by putting up a flyer, voting, or telling your friends about the comic! (Especially if they’re interested in cheap commissions!) Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hosting taken care of, but if not I’ll try to find some other way to keep the comic online. The domain name is paid up through January, at least, so messenger-comic.com will always link to wherever the comic happens to wind up. I’m hoping to avoid moving everything, especially after all the work I’ve put into the site lately, but I’ll just have to cross my fingers on this one.

Webcomic Book Club

In other notes, I’m participating in a “Webcomic Book Club” that’s been set up by some of the members of the Palace in the Sky Collective, which I am a part of. We’re taking reading through participants’ archives and writing about what we’ve read every two weeks or so to spread the word about all our comics as a group effort. I’m planning to post my notes with my regular updates for the next few weeks as we roll along, and at some point Messenger will be up for reading as well. This week’s comic is Footloose by Alice Nuttall and Emily Brady. Footloose is a fantasy webcomic with a little bit of a twist on the typical kinds of characters and scenarios you see in most fantasy stories.
