05/27/2015 Update: We took some time off to attend 3 conventions and Steve is going to spend 2 weeks doing commissions to allow him to take time off to work on the strip plus finance the Kickstarter Video! Commission options are available at www.steverude.com/commissions. We will begin a Kickstarter countdown when the video is completed and the strip will go live after all 35 strips are penciled. The Kickstarter is allowing us to fund payment to the colorist, designer, Baron, and Rude!
04/22/2015 Update: The first story is 35 strips (some with multiple pages). Steve has most of the first 20 completed and below is a sneak peek of Strip #1 (page 1 of 4)
