So Corporate Skull issue two starts in about two weeks time. Initially I intended to spend this time writing it, but as it happens I got a little over-keen towards the end of issue one and wrote issue two alongside it. I've finished inking a handful of pages too. But I'd like to take this short break to build up a bit of a backlog, I just need to find a day or two spare to work on it properly. This way, hopefully we'll be able to do a few more twice-weekly updates, get this story thundering along.
Issue one was very much an 'origins' story for Corporate Skull (it was rather unimaginatively called that until the last minute), establishing our hero, the characters around him and point us in the direction we want to go. Issue two is going to turn that on its head. In my mind Skull isn't yet made as a character, who he is will be shaped and defined over the first four issues. And then beyond. The full story of Corporate Skull (however many issues it is) is about him becoming who he's supposed to be (as the final page of issue one hints to), and clawing his way through events to get there. And those events will be pretty mental, the tube-train explosion is nothing in comparison. Issue two will start to show us the wider picture.
Sorry, babbling. Also, excited. See you back here in two weeks!

ps. hey y'know i've started seeing Corporate Skull fanart floating around, if anyone wants to do any I would of course be humbled, maybe we could collect it together on the site. Send it in!

And with today's page (an epilogue of sorts), that's issue one complete!

Thank you SO much to everyone who has read, enjoyed and spread the word about Skull. I've seen a lot of reviews, a lot of podcast mentions and a lot of general recommendations about it bouncing around the internets, and i'm really appreciative of all of it. Especially since when it first started, there wasn't that much to go on, but still people were digging it. Me, I was real keen to get the story moving along, much as I wanted to spend time building some characters at the beginning, I was getting kind of itchy to get into some hard Skull action. So now we have our Skull, we have ourselves a comic.

You can read Corporate Skull from the start by clicking links above the comic, or the cover here.

If you want to comment or share Corporate Skull around, please do. Word of mouth keeps these things afloat, and if you can think of any way to help spread the word I'd love to hear it. Anything anyone can do to get Skull to more people is, needless to say, VERY appreciated. If you do interviews/reviews of Skull let me know! Or if you wanna just chat about what you think's going on, i'll try and reply to comments more often!

And oh yeah, issue two. Lets meet back here on friday and talk about when.

Hey! So come back soon, Skull will update with new pages next Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday, as we come crashing towards the climax of issue one.

Then we need to have a little chat about issue two.
