In The Beginning
Well, this has been a little odd. Over this last week, there was some settling snow! This was ‘proper snow’1, and although it caused a little chaos on the roads, I mainly work from home, so it didn’t affect me anyway!
Then it just rained!
I’ve started on a new project coming from Custard Comix. I’m not giving it away, and it may feel slightly niche, but I’ve had the idea in my head for a long time, and now it is time to put it together. I’ve still got other plans for the rest of the year (or so), and hopefully, I’ll be able to get those together. More news in the coming weeks!
How have you all been? What have you been reading or creating?

By Karl Kesel, Impossible Jones has been picked up by Scout Comics. I back the Kickstarters and they are great fun to read. Monty Nero’s Death Sentence is an excellent series, with more Kickstarters to come! Tank Girl is a classic character, and I love the mayhem! This was a special edition, and you can get yours here.
