It’s about 4:30 in the morning here in Seattle. Why do you ask, am I up at such an ungodly hour? Well, as I’m sure you know already, Chapter 5 has officially begun and I wanted the new pages to be up before most of you rolled out of bed.
Posted today is a new eerie cover, featuring a mysterious figure. Who might this fellow be and I wonder if he’s been mentioned in the past? I have a feeling not much good will come from this guy. Also posted today is of course page 1, which introduces us to a new character Otari. A young innocent priest with a lot of potential. I like seeing a bit more of these raiding parties that we always hear about. It’s interesting to me that they always bring a priest for spiritual protection, yet the priest never makes it out alive. It seems as if there is some descent amongst their ranks. For those of you anxious to find out what’s happened to Sno, Keyli, Clumsy and Icari you will soon find out.
There are a couple new additions to the website that you may have noticed already. I can finally blog about the most recent post here on the home page. Such a simple feature but I’m really excited about it.
The other big change is that you can now read the comic in a classic webcomic format! If you look up at the navigation bar you will see a new tab titled Classic Reader. This will allow you to read the comic like any other webcomic out there. Although most of you like the way the comic is formatted, I can understand not everyone wants to read the comic like this, especially if you are on a mobile device. The other reason is I haven’t been able to be a part of sites like Comic Rocket, the Webcomics List, and the new InkOutbreak feature. This is simply due to the fact that all my updates are to my homepage so it’s impossible for them to track my update progress. The updates to my website will change all that and hopefully bring about new readers. As usual I’d love any and all of your feedback.
Thanks for being patient everyone! Chapter 5 promises to be the most epic Hominids yet!
Oh I see… I’d advise changing those buttons to just say “Previous” and “Next” or something similar
How do I navigate back/forward one page with this new Classic Reader?
I’d like to know the same. I’m using Safari on MacOS X 10.7.5 and all I see are “First” and “Last” links, and “Chapter 5” and “New Updates” links.
The “Chapter 5″ and “New Updates” links function as the “previous” and “next” buttons. Basically it’s displaying the title of the post. I’ll get that fixed so there is no confusion.
And should be fixed.
*ONLY* one hundred and two pages?!? oh my, it seems so much bigger
I did condense the page numbers a little. I counted all the double-page spreads as a single page. Then I took out unnecessary title pages.
