Today's News:

Remember when Cyrus felt a chill as he entered the Villa lands? It seems like some kind of force was holding the line between it and Thantopolis. And it stopped the Orinthope! That's good news... right?

Fun fact: I had planned for Redburn to rescue the team from the bomb explosion long before I changed his powers from breathing fire to super speed. You can actually see a beta version of Redburn on this C Say's page.

Today's News:

It's not looking good guys, if only we had a friend who had super-speed or something otherwise I don't think we're making it out of here...

Panel 1 is a callback to Osiris's teaser silhouette from Chapter 1! I only got around to giving him an actual character design when he appeared in ch13; luckily, as a recognizable character from ancient history, I had a bit of an idea what he'd end up looking like.

They're bad guys, but these wire mummies are pretty sick, right?

I hate to do this but I'm going to have to take a break from uploading for the rest of July. I'm out of my buffer and I'm about to go on a trip where I won't be able to work on art. The good news is that the work on Book 2 is virtually done, so my schedule will free up a lot when I get back!

By the way, here's a little preview of the Book 2 cover ~

I have a bad feeling about this...

In other news, I got into CAKE! It's my favorite comic show in Chicago and I'm stoked to have finally gotten in. For the event, I'll be selling an exclusive beta print of Book 2 of HoT!

<![CDATA[Heroes of Thantopolis - Popularity Poll Results]]>
New comic!
Today's News:

The votes are in! The winner of the Heroes of Thantopolis 10th Anniversary Character Popularity Poll is Xisea! I was kind of surprised at fist how popular she was in the poll, but when I thought about it, it made perfect sense. She's adorable, sweet and smol! What's not to like about her?

Cyrus got a respectable second with 32 votes. Seeing as he's the protagonist, I'm glad he's popular! Third place was hotly contested, but Trickster ended up winning with 28 votes.

Other statistics of note:

  • One-off character Iota got 3 votes. He's a very old character of mine, so I was tickled to see him get support.
  • Anubis got the most votes outside of the main cast, with 15 votes. I know why people voted for him ;)
  • Scissors seems to be the most popular character of Geo's gang. Interestingly, they're the only member who only appears in Book 2, as when the gang reappears in Chapter 11, Scissors is out celebrating Halloween.
  • Of the Big Bads, Osiris got 3 votes, Caesar got 1 vote, and Age of Aquarius got none.

As for updates: I know I said pages would resume this week, but I need one more week to build up my buffer, so the next page will go up on May 13th. Thanks for your patience!!

<![CDATA[Heroes of Thantopolis - Happy 10th Anniversary!]]>
New comic!
Today's News:

Reflections on a decade of making a webcomic

Every anniversary is significant, but ten years feels like a milestone. Ten years ago, I was drawing on a print-sized canvas for the first time. I was sharing an original story near and dear to my heart, and hoping people would get from it even a fraction of the joy I felt telling it. I was worried about sticking with a project like this, unclear of when I'd reach the end, not sure if I'd even capture an audience. But I did stick with it, and I'm so happy I did. I'll write a bit more about that on my blog, if you're interested.

My loyal readers have my most profound thanks. I love reading your comments, theories and jokes. Thank you for giving this story an audience. You've fulfilled a dream I've long had.

I also want to thank my friends and family. I couldn't have made this comic without your support.

The comic is so close to its ending. I really feel like I can reach out and touch it. It's going to be an interesting ride to the finale. I hope you guys will stick around for it!

Don't forget to vote in the Character Popularity Poll! Voting closes at 10 PM CT on May 30th.

Support the comic by purchasing Heroes of Thantopolis Book 1!

The winner of the Heroes of Thantopolis 10th Anniversary Character Popularity Poll is <b>Xisea</b>! I was kind of surprised at fist how popular she was in the poll, but when I thought about it, it made perfect sense. She's adorable, sweet and smol! What's not to like about her?</p><p>Cyrus got a respectable second with 32 votes. Seeing as he's the protagonist, I'm glad he's popular! Third place was hotly contested, but Trickster ended up winning with 28 votes. </p><p>Other statistics of note:</p><ul><li>One-off character Iota got 3 votes. He's a very old character of mine, so I was tickled to see him get support.</li><li>Anubis got the most votes outside of the main cast, with 15 votes. I know why people voted for him ;)</li><li>Scissors seems to be the most popular character of Geo's gang. Interestingly, they're the only member who only appears in Book 2, as when the gang reappears in Chapter 11, Scissors is out celebrating Halloween.</li><li>Of the Big Bads, Osiris got 3 votes, Caesar got 1 vote, and Age of Aquarius got none. </li></ul><p>As for updates: I know I said pages would resume this week, <b>but I need one more week to build up my buffer, so the next page will go up on May 13th</b>. Thanks for your patience!! <br></p> ]]>

Ten years ago, I was drawing on a print-sized canvas for the first time. I was sharing an original story near and dear to my heart, and hoping people would get from it even a fraction of the joy I felt telling it. I was worried about sticking with a project like this, unclear of when I'd reach the end, not sure if I'd even capture an audience. But I <i>did </i>stick with it, and I'm so happy I did. I'll write a bit more about that on my blog, if you're interested. <br></p><p>My loyal readers have my most profound thanks. I love reading your comments, theories and jokes. Thank you for giving this story an audience. You've fulfilled a dream I've long had. </p><p>I also want to thank my friends and family. I couldn't have made this comic without your support. <br></p><p>The comic is so close to its ending. I really feel like I can reach out and touch it. It's going to be an interesting ride to the finale. I hope you guys will stick around for it!</p><p><b><a href="https://forms.gle/Lm3vRP43itLYEsrM8" target="_blank">Don't forget to vote in the Character Popularity Poll!</a> Voting closes at 10 PM CT on May 30th.</b></p><p><b><a href="https://strontium.storenvy.com/products/36643710-heroes-of-thantopolis-book-1-the-champion" target="_blank">Support the comic by purchasing Heroes of Thantopolis Book 1!</a><br></b><br></p> ]]>
