QUANTUM MORTIS Episode 23

In other Arkhaven news, we managed to work a schedule out with the SWAN KNIGHT SAGA illustrator, so the hiatus for that series should not be as long as we initially thought. He’s already drawing Issue 04 and he does a pretty good imitation of Richard Bonk’s style.

And in other comics industry news, this reported DC Comics ban on independent artists who dare to work with Comicsgate should serve Arkhaven rather well going forward. We’re very pleased with how our collaboration with Joe Bennett is going – the man is a machine – and we anticipate working with more talented ex-DC and ex-Marvel artists in the future. We have no doubt whatsoever that those ranks will be growing in the future as the Big Two gradually diminish in sales, size, and influence.

According to a new rumor, DC Comics is reportedly threatening any freelancer who is caught partnering with Comicsgate – in any capacity – with a lifetime ban from working for the publisher.

Word of DC’s supposed new anti-Comicsgate policy was first made public by Shelley Lopresti, the wife of veteran comic book artist Aaron Lopresti, who himself recently made a turn towards Comicsgate after an appearance on Ethan Van Sciver’s livestream made in promotion of the crowdfunding campaign for his original series Wraith of God earned him a deluge of condemnation from contemporary comic book professionals and audiences.

On October 14th Shelley took to her personal Twitter account to reveal, “As if we needed another reason to boycott DC Comics…..they are now threatening their freelancers that if they do any work for anyone associated with Comicsgate that they will never work for DC again.”

Production note: SWAN KNIGHT’S SAGA is officially on hiatus and will be for some time, as the illustrator selected to replace Richard Bonk for Issues 4-6 was unable to do the work. We’re working on finding a replacement for the replacement now. However, SILENZIOSA is back in full effect and will return tomorrow, and CHICAGO TYPEWRITER is being colored and is on track to return in November.

One day after enjoying a new traffic record Tuesday on Arktoons, Arkhaven Comics is very pleased to introduce the second true independent comic to make its Arktoons debut, SHOTGUN SAMURAI by Donkey Madness. Independent comics who are interested in joining the Arktoons platform should email submissions-at-arkhaven-dot-com in order to receive instructions on how to create a series, upload the episode images, and manage the metadata, which can now be done without assistance from the Arktoons production team.

Bounding Into Comics has put out a rather comprehensive article on the five new Arktoons series that have launched this week.

My Sister Suprema is a new, original title from Chuck Dixon and artist Anthony Gonzales-Clark. The comic’s official description states, “Randy wants nothing more in life than to be a superhero. But when his scientific experiments intended to turn himself into a costumed crusader accidentally transform his sister into one instead, he finds that he has somehow become a sidekick.”

Dixon provided more details in a YouTube video.

He explained, “It’s very much a superhero parody. It’s a sibling rivalry comedy. Thanks to Anthony’s terrific manga influence art, he really puts this over top. It’s a fast-paced, family friendly, funny story about a kid who loves comic books. But what he really wants to do is just not read about superheroes, he wants to be one. And he finds a mysterious website that gives him the formulation to turn himself into a superhero.’ He added, “Unfortunately, things don’t go the way he plans, and his sister, his big sister, Cecilia, is the one who ends up with super powers.”
