Well, I'm making good progress on this page. I was aiming to have it done last Friday, but I'm still working on the page. I am putting a lot more effort into these pages. One big mistake I made when I started post nuke was trying to make the pages as fast as I can to meet deadlines. What resulted is inconsistent artwork, poor grammar and writing and me having to go back a fix everything for the printed comic book. I'm now making all the new comics in the correct comic format so they are ready to be printed. It will save me a lot of time in the long run. 

I'm also still waiting on the comic books, I'm really sorry its taking so long. The anxiety is killing me! I will be receiving them very soon. I'm putting everyone's order together, and I will be sending an email out to everyone that bought a preorder to double check if the address and information is correct. So if you haven't received an email yet, you will very soon. If all works out, everyone that bought a preorder should have the comic book in their hands by the end of this month. Thank you all once again for buying the comic. 

I'm also very behind with all my emails. So don't be surprised if you get a response weeks or even months later. I'm very sorry about that. I'm a little swamped with work at the moment.

Well I finally finished Page 1 of chapter 10! Oh the plot thickens. Christopher (and you fans) may think you know where this story is going. But it is unpredictable, with a major plot twist coming in this chapter. I've been planning this chapter for very along time. We're finally getting to the epic part. ;-)

I also would like to share another awesome fan art I received from HAI. He also has a few webcomics on his site HOmanga and is currently working on his newest comic "By Moon Alone". Talk about raising the bar of web comics to a whole new level! His artwork is incredible! Thank you HAI for the fan art! Very nice work! :-D

Well a few fans have said they would like to donate, so here it is. I'd prefer people to buy Issue#1 comic book and receive something return. But donations certainly are greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your support over these years!

Well I'm late again. Big surprise I know. But I am almost done and it will be on line very soon. I am working on a few things for this website. Like a proper merchandise page. As some of you have noticed there is a merchandise button, but no page! Also working on a link page. The Post-Nuke comic book pre-order is also still available. The comics are being printed at Ka-Blam!. I've been following this company since they started two years ago and have heard a lot of good things about them. I've very happy with my test proof print I received from them and  I have also bought a few comics from there online store IndyPlanet. I'm very impressed with their work and service. Unfortunately they are swamped with orders most of the time and there is a 28day printing turn around time. Delivery also takes about 2 weeks. So the comics will be mailed out sometime in May. Sorry for the long wait. It's out of my hands at this point. But I will keep everyone posted and thank you for buying the comic! It is greatly appreciated!  

I also received my copy of "HOW TO MAKE WEBCOMICS" last week and must say I'm blown away by this book. Described as the go-to guide for a new generation of cartoonists! Written by four pros who know the ins and outs of the Web - Dave Kellet (Sheldon), Scott Kurtz (PvP), Brad Guigar (Evil Inc.) and Kris Straub (Starslip Crisis). If you seriously want to get into web comics or already have one and want it to become more successful, then this is a must read. They crammed, and I do mean  crammed so much valuable information into this 200 page book its amazing. I sure wish I had this book when I started Post-Nuke! Would have saved me from a lot of trial and error. The book is for sale on their  websites (I got mine from Evil Inc.) Anyway, I highly recommend this book!

Okay new update. Mark fixed the problem with chapter 10 web page.  Thanks Mark! So Yeah, that was a major typo on the cover page. It was suppose to be "Battle" not "Battel". LOL... Sorry for the confusion. Also, "Battle" appears like "BattLE" because of the weird text font I'm using. Right now I'm just keeping it somewhat consistent, but I do have plan to redo the titles in the near future. Anyway, its a big chapter, lots of crazy stuff going to happen. There hasn't been much action in Post-Nuke lately, but as you can see chapter 10 will definitely make up for it. ;-)

The other night I watched part one of an interesting Canadian mini-series called "The Trojan Horse" (YouTube trailer). Sequel to the first mini-series called "H20". Its a global political thriller. Canada merges with the US, rigged elections, secret shadow governments, and a secret Canadian conspiracy to over throw the US government. LOL. . . Some real controversial stuff to say the least! I wasn't sure how good this show would be, but I was pleasantly surprised! I am now very eager to see how it will all unfold.  (UPDATE: The build up was better then the ending. Really didn't like the ending. ;-)

 Please vote for Post-Nuke.

Here is a awesome Post-Nuke fan art made by Geo Flores. He also has a web comic you can read at www.fayththesaga.com. Very impressive work! Both the color and b/w look really good in there own way. I personally am a fan of b/w art, so I like the b/w one. But the color one also looks great, nice work ether way! Thank you Geo for taking the time to make this! Really do appreciate it! :-D

Just one small technical note I'd like to share with people about the moon. Its actually not around in the future. I guess no one knows that because I haven't revealed that part of the story yet.  I can't say more then that. Only that it is explained in the bonus flash back story in the printed comic book. Well, not in this first printed issue, but it will be explained in later issues. This fact doesn't really effect the post-nuke story. Since the sky is permanently stuck in overcast clouds no one really notices the moon missing.  I know it sounds crazy, but it will all make sense.  ;-)

Phew...  finally done Page 20 of chapter 9. This is also the last page of chapter 9, moving on to chapter 10. Now before some of you people flip out about page 20 please read what I have to say. I'm really sorry you don't get to see what's in the box yet. I'm not trying to be mean here. You will get to see what is in the box in chapter 10. I scripted this part of the story over a year ago, and it also sets-up future events. So I can't change the storyline at this point. It just seems very cruel with this very long delay. But trust me, it will be great! I can't say more without soiling the surprise or story. ;-)

The comic book pre-order sales are also doing better. After a slow start, it will hopefully reach my goal of 200 pre-orders. I will be ordering extra comics so I will have them on stock. You can order them anytime and I will gladly sign all comics, Yes you read right, ALL comics will be signed by me! If you have a special request please email me and I'll make a note of it. I will also let everyone know when I have mailed the comic books. Thank you everyone for buying the comic! It is greatly appreciated! :-D

Well this is the revised version of my earlier post. Some people have been asking how my sales are. The pre-sales orders are a little disappointing, so my tone may have sounded more negative then it was intended to be in the last post. I did get a few dozen pre-orders, which is a good thing, and it is still early. There just seemed to be a lot of interest and excitement for this comic book, so I was a little surprised by the low numbers.  I spent 2 years working on this comic book trying to make something really special for fans, and the thought that people don't care or only a few dozen people will actually see it, saddens me. I do understand that there are a lot of students and people that would like a comic but cant get one. Also, I'm not trying to get rich here. If I was in it for the money (believe me) I would have quit long time ago. But Post-Nuke comics does cost me money and I do need to pay for it somehow. I don't want to put up a donation button because I want to keep this website free. Instead I would like people to buy a book and get something in return, rather then just donate and get nothing. Well anyway, thank you very much to the fans that did ordered a book. Since I'm not overwhelmed with orders, you should receive your books sooner then later. I did put a lot of work into it and added some really good bonus material, so I hope you all enjoy it. 

I'm now back working on Page 20, I hope to have it done soon. I'm not sure when exactly, but soon.

Well I'm finally getting ready to order a big batch of comics. I put so much work into the comic book you really have to see it to understand why it took so long. So if you would like to pre-order your comic book now, please click the buy-now button below. The comic book costs $4.95 Canadian. I live in Canada so shipping within North America will be $2canadian. Shipping over seas is a little more at $3.75canadian. I can ship three comic books together for the same price as shipping one. Shipping four or more comics at once will cost more due to its weight. 

I forgot to mention the comic book has a lot of new bonus material in it. The main part is the revised version of Post-Nuke chapter 1, which was 9 pages long but now is 12 pages long with the new artwork added to it. I also fixed all the bad artwork and writing. Click here to see examples. The comic book is 16 pages total with the new bonus material added. The Flashback story is part one of Chris and Aries back-story that will leading up to the nuclear war.  I put a lot of work into this bonus story and its artwork. The comic book also has part one of "Post-Nuclear Survival" tips near the back of the book. These bonus materials will only be available in the printed comic books.

Please understand that this is a pre-order and allow 4 to 8 weeks for your book to arrive. Once I place the order they have to print it and ship it to me. Then I can to mail it out to you, so it could take a few weeks. But at least you'll be one of the first to receive the comic book, and I will also gladly autograph all pre-order comics books! I can mail anywhere in the world. If you live outside of Canada and US, just click on the International buy-now button . Please Email me if you have any questions. Thank so must for your support!

WOW! I've been flooded with fan letters this whole week! Really didn't expect so many!  It was nice being flooded with fan letters, so I didn't say anything until now in fear the fan letters would stop ;-). I'm reading each and every one, even read some of my spam mail to make sure I haven't missed any fan letters. I'm not sure if I can reply back to everyone, so I just want to tell everyone thank you very much for taking the time to write and letting me know how much you love Post-Nuke. It really helped re-energized my passion for the comic. So thank you very much for that!

I should say that all in all Post-Nuke is doing better then ever (well not update wise, obviously), but that should get better now that I finished this first comic book. The Project Wonderful ads has also been a lifesaver for Post-Nuke. I've tried a lot of different advertisements after Google AdSense banned me for no good reason. No matter, Project Wonderful turned out to be the best advertisement system I've ever tried. The Post-Nuke fan base is also a lot bigger then before (as I discovered this last week). So yeah, Post-Nuke comic is doing pretty good. 

I did get a lot of people asking about pre-orders for the comic book. I tried not to take pre-orders until I am actually ready to print it out. I will hopefully be ready by the end of this week, I'll keep you posted.

Okay so people are demanding explanations, and getting down right nasty about it! This of course up-sets me. So pardon my negative tone, but I've just been bombarded by hate mail so I'm a little up-sets at the moment. I get very few fan letters actually. I get way more people feel the need to vent their anger on me. Which really kills any fun, motivation or any further interest in this comic.

I really do try to meet those deadlines, but its hard when I have to juggle is online comic, with the published book, part time jobs, and try to keep my sanity all at once. I have no studio, I have no art team or friends helping me on this comic. I'm doing everything alone with the time and little money I have.

I know it's painful to be stuck on these cliffhangers. But the bottom line is, the comic is free! You're not paying for it! But it does cost me a lot of money to make and keep online! I'm spending my money and hour upon hours of work, with no paid, and on top of that I get shit on by a whole bunch of people mad at me because I don't update enough. 

The real hold up is this published comic book. The published comic book is my main priority right now. I have to get this comic book out and until then the online comic will have be temporarily on hold. This should last only a couple more weeks. There's not much I can do about it. Please don't email me venting your frustration. It's not going to make it done faster and it most certainly will not help the situation.  I'm not giving up on Post-Nuke. The updates will get better in the near future once I have the book ready for sale. 

I was really trying to have page 2 done by today, but I'm still working on the last panel. I hope to have it done soon.
