Comic

Capsule Corp. Bliss, Cover and Page One

When I first moved from Patreon and SubscribeStar, one goal I set up was to start a sequel to one of my completed comics when I got back to the same income I had on Patreon. It took longer than I would’ve liked, mostly staying just shy of it for what felt like forever, but we’re finally there (more or less). So, I ran a poll with descriptions of potential sequels for all of my completed comics, and the winning one was this, a sequel to Fire Mountain Bliss. Fire Mountain Bliss was an early commission that ended up sitting incomplete in my work folder for years, but I eventually finished it and released it just so all that work wouldn’t go to waste. That comic followed a quick affair between End of Z Trunks and Buu Saga Chi-Chi (as the commissioner wanted), so we’re mirroring that here in the Sequel with End of Z Goten and Buu Saga Bulma. I’m not going to try as hard to imitate the Pandora’s Box style here (that was also a specification of the original commission), but I am trying to keep it feeling like mostly the same aesthetic of the original comic. These two comics are set in a different continuity to my other Dragon Ball work, not just due to the mix-and-match designs, but also because I don’t think these versions of Goten and Trunks have a history of sleeping with their moms like in Chi-Chi the Sitter, etc.

March ’25 One-Shot

This is the March 2025 One-Shot, as always written by one of my Subscribers. This is another script where each panel is kinda its own scene, I assume featuring characters this Subscriber wanted to see join the Studio. The first couple panels feature some characters I know some folks have been wanting to see, namely Hiei, Kurama, and the MAwS version of Jimmy Olsen. The latter two panels feature less-known characters, I think, Isami Ao and Lewis Smith from Brave Bang Bravern and Tamada, Dai and Yukinori from Blue Giant.

Hot Yoga, Page One

I posted a couple commissions not long ago that I said were part of an emergency fund-raising effort I had to run. The bulk of the funds raised from that sale were through a ten-page commissioned comic. The individual who bought that comic couldn’t fully decide on which characters they wanted to use, however, so we agreed to split it into two five-pagers. This is the first of those, a little three-way featuring Yuji, Inosuke and Thorfinn.

Updates for this one might be a little spaced out initially. Both “The Eizouken’s Closer” and “Leave It All On the Court” are only a few pages from finishing, so once those wrap I’ll be able to focus on this one a bit more. Until then, though, I did want to at least get it started with this opening page, and maybe there’ll be another page or two before those other comics finish. Regardless, I hope y’all will enjoy this one!

Zombie Movie Night, Page Four

So, just a reminder for folks who don’t know, but I have a handful of different categories for the types of ongoing comics I work on. One is the SubscribeStar monthly comics, of which there are four that cycle through one page per month on a rotation schedule. I also have a handful of comics that just update when I can get to them (Tournament of Power, Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend, Leave It All On the Court and The Eizouken’s Closer are the current lineup of those). The rest of the comics I do are on a rotation schedule, where I will work on one comic for 3-5 pages before then moving on to the next on the schedule. I have this schedule posted on the sidebar of my site, but it’s pretty far down, so I don’t know how often people see it.

This page marks the end of ZMN’s run as the focus comic in this rotation. I know it’s just getting to the good stuff, but it’ll probably be a while before we work our way back around to this one. For now, though, we’re going to leave things here and move on to the next comic in the rotation schedule, which I’ll talk more about when the first page of that comes out in about a month.
