First of all, let me say how grateful I am to be typing these words, and for you to be reading them. We started work in this several months ago, determined to make the best story possible.
I'm just going to say that it's funny how things change as you work on them sometimes... You'll see what I mean in the coming pages.
Please feel free to comment and rate!
Oh, and if you like what you're seeing here, you can always drop a vote on Top Webcomics. You'll even get a sneak peek at the next page!
I'm involved in the stuff that doesn't require artistic efforts. Mostly I make some of the characters, stuff them full of history and back-story, wind them up, and see where they go.
Yay! It's up!
Well, there's only three frames, which is very little even for the modern American comic-book format. One of the reasons I prefer European comics.
On the bright side, I simply adore the new style. Even the backgrounds are much better. Dig that concrete texture and color, and the background details, the architecture... damn Prof, you really took it up a notch! A far cry from the sometimes bleak or even gradiented backdrops of old AB.
I'm glad you like the new style. I find it cleaner and more expressive myself. As far as backgrounds go, I'm trying to make sure things are more established with them...
As I said yesterday, looks like somebody's been practicin'!
Being a non-artist myself, I can't tell if it's a change in drawing programs (SAI vs MS5, etc) or the simple fact that you have vastly improved as an artist over the past while, but everything looks "cleaner" to my eye.
First page and we already have a familiar stalker with bright blue eyes :O
Also, the page format... Is that you trying out stuff or do you also aim for Tapastic? It looks like some comics over there considering that format is preferred.
ITS HEEEEERE!! IT LOOKS AMAZING, PROF!!! And I can already tell things are going to get interesting really quickly! ;D can't wait to see more and it's so awesome to see you back!! <333
Already a much more natural beginning. Makes me excited to see how my own reboot will go xD I should probably announce it officially soon... Ugh. Anyway super hyped bro. Can't think of anyone who deserves the attention more atm. This is a Goddamn reboot. The whole thing just feels so much more tight. I know its only page two but fuck, man. It's good to watch people grow, and this has me damn excited to see what this becomes.
Now what do you mean "up to no good"? He's a fine, upstanding citizen, which should be evident by the hat and trenchcoat, as well as his stellar history...
Although I guess since i didn't have a blog when I was that age, I was probably looking for weird stuff to stick in my diary. That only I would read. Don't know if that's better or worse...
Oh yeah... one last thing...
Beware of the Easter eggs. Enjoy.
At last, it's here!!!:D HYPE
It was SO weird not seeing AB in my subscriptions!
AB will be in your sub box FOREVER!!!!!
Your "squee" makes me chuckle because of... reasons...
2) Soooo is "Radiant Sophia" your version of "Tokyo Rose"?
2) The analogy is not inaccurate, in its way. Radiant Sophia has long had a hand in these characters, and is my partner in mindcrime.

CEI? EIC?
But thanks!
Cool shirt!

The format is a combination of factors: attempted mobile-friendliness, volume of fire, cleanliness of page... and yes, I am mirroring on Tapastic.
Thankfully, the wait to see more is not a long one (there's three of these things every week - MWF).
Looking forward to see where and how you'll take us this time around :)
There are many wondrous places we're gonna go!
And we have some incredible things in store, just wait.
Very exciting!
The glowy-eye guy in the crowd didn't get by me either.
;-)
Good job on this. :-)
Thankies! Mostly, I figured anyone paying attention would pick up on Blue Eyes and speed readers would be a little punished... :)
I can't wait to see what YOU'VE got coming up. Rebooting, when it's necessary (and it really was in our case), it lets you clean things up.
WELCOME BACK PROF

The night-dilated irises is a nice touch. Are you shooting for that level of subtlety overall?
And, yeah, welcome back. ^^
All in all, I'm going with "less is more", but also "more is more". It's all about the feels, honestly.
And thank you!
Thank you, though.
