So with these pages we finally conclude the first chapter of “For Whom the Bells Toll.” I believe I’ve mentioned before that my original plan was to tell this story through the Applebridge Snapshots series, and if that’s what I had done then this chapter would’ve been told in one page like the rest of that series. I think it’s not hard to imagine what the Snapshot version of this would’ve looked like, but I think telling it this way will work better for what I have planned long-term. The next chapter will cover what would’ve been the second Snapshot page, but it might be a while before I get to it. I have a lot of other projects to work on, but I do intend to get to it sometime in 2025.

Here’s the next batch of pages for this story! My hope is to wrap up this chapter in the next batch, but we’ll see how things go.

Since this was originally meant to be a snapshot comic, that meant there wasn’t really any room for build-up or anything like that. I could’ve added it in here, but I decide cutting directly to the action would be the way to go. I’d originally hoped to get a few more pages ready in time for this update, but it didn’t work out that way.

So, I had some ideas for how I wanted to handle the Bell characters I introduced earlier this year. I could have just, like, drawn Jonah fucking Jasper and been done with it, but I wanted to try doing a narrative and some build-up instead. I considered telling their story within Applebridge Snapshots, but I’ve been having trouble getting those out lately and already have a number of ideas and new characters for that series I’m sitting on… I didn’t want to muck that series up with more backlog. So, I’m trying a different approach. This won’t be a comic, but it’ll still operate more or less like one. I’m hoping this formatting will work well for this type of story, but we’ll see as more pages come out. Right now the final page here is what would’ve originally been the first panel of the hypothetical Snapshot page, with the cover and preceding pages working to flesh the story out a bit more. The next update will jump right into the action, starting with what would’ve been the second panel of this story had been done as a Snapshot.
