Metropolis - Chapter 26

Hi

I've got a lot to say about this one...

Chapter 26 took a very long time to draw.  I know I'm doing something wrong because my hand was beginning to ache.

I'm very proud of this chapter's pictures.  I think it was really worth the effort.  I've become much better at drawing outer space.  Compare this chapter with the third panel of Chapter 2.  Yeah!  See what I mean?

It's taken 26 chapters but a second Star Wars "gag" has worked its way into the strip.  I try to avoid it because I don't want this comic strip to become a parody of Star Wars.  I hope you'll agree that it isn't.  Not that I have anything against Star Wars.  I'm 40 years old so I'm consider myself an original (though not diehard) fan.  Case in point: I still have my original Kenner Star Wars toys, but I have no interest in playing Angry Birds Star Wars.

Not that I have anything against Angry Birds...

Enjoy the chapter.  Next up: the Metropolis Yearbook #2!

The New Metropolis Yearbook #1

Hello

In preparing the Metropolis Yearbook #2, I decided to improve the production quality of Yearbook #1.
Here it is!

It's got a new custom cover.  I hope you check it out.

I've made a print version and an E-reader version.  I tested the E-version on my old Kobo and my Ipad.



You can find numerous formats of each version here at archive.org.  Hopefully, the original .PDF file converted well.  Let me know if a certain format looks bad.

The Metropolis Yearbook #2 will be released before the summer of 2013.

Have a great day.
