Population: Zero

[Pop: Zero]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/Lyinginbedmon/PopulationZero/Titleproto3.png

Hello hello hello and welcome to Population: Zero

A new non-OotS webcomic by artist Tobias Beis (Aka Threeshades (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=22497)) and writer Tim Maughan (Aka Lyinginbedmon (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=24970)).

It follows the journey of a group of characters as they look for something of great important whilst being pursued by authorities of a nasty sort (Yup, that explains a lot, huh? Don't worry, it gets less spoiler-y later on).


Updates schedule once a week on Mondays at 00:00 GMT
(A note: We rarely meet schedule, but it's still usually Monday)

And so, here we go:

[JasonDoomsblade]

Its cool, but not OotS style, since they arn't stick figures.

[Oregano]

Nice, looks awesome, this may become another essential read for me.:smallbiggrin:

[Calamity]

Wow. The art is fantastic. No seriously. Fantastic. I love the use of colour.
Too early to judge the writing but Lying's writing it, and considering how awesome Remember is.. well.. this is gonna be something else.

And the art is so good.... I can't stop saying that! :smallbiggrin:
So yeah. Talk about making a good first impression.

[Szilard]

Interesting...

On a different mater, does this mean Threeshades is a guy?

[Lyinginbedmon]

On a different mater, does this mean Threeshades is a guy?

I will say nothing. He/she does not have sharp objects close to my spinal cord, I am not being coerced.

And Jason, it isn't meant to be Burlewan style, as stated in the opening post.

[Calamity]

Interesting...

On a different mater, does this mean Threeshades is a guy?

I actually always believed that... but s/he was so convincing in ABR that I started to become unsure. :smalltongue:

[Maulrus]

I like the art a lot. Keep making them so I can stare at the pretty art. @_@

[Haruki-kun]

Wow... this is some pretty awesome art! Good job!

I'll try to follow it form here. :smallwink:

[banjo1985]

The art on this is absolutely mind-blowing...safe to say I'll be looking out for this :smalleek:

[JasonDoomsblade]

Well ok then. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Green-Shirt Q]

On a different mater, does this mean Threeshades is a guy?

Well, I knew a woman whose name is Tobias, so I still can't guess.

That woman did look like a man though.

Wait a second.....

Could that have been Threeshades?

Back on topic, the comic looks interesting with what we have seen so far. Looks like a combination of fantasy and sci-fi.

[Nameless]

This looks fantastic, very profecianal.

I'll deffinetly be reading this. I'm assuming that the person who made this thread is a shared account between Lying and Threeshades?

DUN DUN DUNNNN...!!!

[Hoplite]

Are shared account allowed?

[Phase]

I beleive so. How else would you host a webcomic made by two people as an equal team?

[Threeshades]

Pop: Zero is in fact a new brand of Ice cream designed to erase the free will upon consumation. The manufacturer fed us this new ice cream and made us start a webcomic for them to advertize their infernal product and conduct their insidious plan to enslave all humankind. The person who opened that account is not a human but a 20 feet long monstrous larva-like alien with drooling fangs. The whole Pop: Zero company hasbeen founded by these creatures.

And they will punish me for leaking this information... Please help me! :smallfrown: :smalleek:


Onan unrelated note:
Thanks for the nice words on the art. :smallsmile:

*Slowly backs away* :smalleek:

If you stand still, they won't see you.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Y'know, if your gonna make up stuff like this, at least make sure there arn't any 'gaps' in the story. For example, you say pop: Zero Ice Cream erases free will.
The manufacturer fed us this new ice cream and made us start a webcomic for them to advertize their infernal product and conduct their insidious plan to enslave all humankind Yet this clearly makes you still have free will.
And they will punish me for leaking this information... Please help me!
See I was actually believing this story up until this part.

Nice try though. :smalltongue:

[Hoplite]

Maybe she faked eating the ice cream so she would temporary have her free will back or something... but now they found out.

FOOL, you have disobeyed the will of the brood mind and must be reckoned with. As the speaker for the brood mind I order you to continue this electro-serial, updating it as often as possible. You can sleep when we have turned this planet into another sub hive.

It only works for 24 hours. After that it wears off. They forgot to give us the last dose. Also they're still working on making the formula permanently working or at least making it highly addictive.

[Oregano]

They need to make it caffeine based..oh wait, I shouldn't be helping them should I?

Anyway, when can we expect the next/first comic?

EDIT: I'd also like a banner to put into my signature, panel four would make a good one.:smallwink: That sounds really cheeky but I want to show my support.

@V: That's awesome, it's too detailed to expect more frequent updates.

[Lyinginbedmon]

We're planning for a weekly release right now

[JasonDoomsblade]

Ah, that makes more sense. Every prototype of some formula always lasts for 24 hours. If i was to invent something, i'd make it last for 23. :smalltongue:

This would be so awesome if it were real/not trying to enslave us all. It would probably make a good Doctor Who Episode...

[Bayar]

This is the Arts and Crafts Unholy union between Threeshades's art and Lyinginbedmon's writing. May they have a long lasting one :smallbiggrin:

Also, awesomerific comic !

[averagejoe]

Not to bad. I look forward to subsequent additions.

Does that one dwarf have a chainsaw pick? Awsome.

[Bayar]

It looks more like a chainsaw crossbow.

[Szilard]

It looks more like a chainsaw crossbow.

Who cares? It has a chainsaw on it!:smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Presently we're calling it a Chainpick. It's a pick with a back-flowing conveyor built into it to aid in mining work (Which is the primary occupation for dwarves in this setting). That said, it could certainly fill in nicely for a chainsaw if it got whacked into someone in combat.

One of my favourite parts of this zeroth comic is Kilzu. Regular readers of Remember will know that Kilzu is my marketing Imp and also a recurring in-joke, but here he is running a bar. And of course, how does a Tiny-sized Imp keep trouble out of his respectable business place? With a pump-action shotgun crossbow under the counter of course! :smallbiggrin:

[Oregano]

Kilzu's awesome, he's not a major character though?:smallfrown: That's what I gathered from your post anyway.

EDIT: I'm not a regular reader of remember by the way, I've read it once or twice though.

[Bitzeralisis]

It's very shiny.

[Threeshades]

Shiny as in "the artwork looks like everything's shiny" or shiny as in "shiny red ball!"?

[Echowinds]

This looks fantastic. Keep up the awesome work. :smallsmile:

[Beholder1995]

Awesome everything- stuff like I have not seen on these forums.

I forsee great things for this.... judging by the insane comic number/thread pages ratio.... (0:2, technically. :smallbiggrin:)

...and the blindingly high quality artwork....

...and the jazzy setting....

...and the mind-eating ice cream that has nothing to do with the comic but is involved in this thread anyway.........yum.

[Guyinthestreet]

This is actually quite good.

[Lyinginbedmon]

This is actually quite good.

Why do you sound surprised? :smallconfused:

[Guyinthestreet]

Why do you sound surprised? :smallconfused:


No, it's just that I see webcomics like Dominic Deegan having a fanbase and then I compare it to comics like this where there's actually background art, colour and shading. The artist is quite skilled, I'll say (I meant the artist of this comic, not Dominic Deegan).

[Lyinginbedmon]

Next page is almost done, it'll be posted on Monday 00:00 GMT. Little bit of trivia is that's the same time Remember (http://www.remembercomic.co.uk) updates on Mondays.

[Threeshades]

That'll teach those slimy space maggots not giving me my mind-cream shot.

Just one more minute!


NOW!

To late, I'm going to bed now, I had hoped for an update while I was still awake. Goodnight.

[Threeshades]

No that was 23:00 GMT.

There's still some time left.

[Szilard]

27 more minutes by my rekoning.

[Phase]

Woah... I like the mix of magic and technology, evidenced by "Mageball"

This is sweet.

[Threeshades]

*nudge* *nudge* There you go, folks.

[BRC]

Reminds me alot of Shadowrun.

[Nameless]

This is pretty danr awesome, although I don't understand what time setting this is... Sci-fi, or fantacy? :smallconfused:

Heh... She looks like you threeshades... :smalltongue:

[Hoplite]

This is rather awesome indeed.

[banjo1985]

[Lyinginbedmon]

Our present basis is "Cyberpunk built on top of Fantasy". Magic is far less common here because technology has overtaken it's place in many areas.

That's similar to shadowrun, except that Shadowrun is Cyberpunk where Fantasy stuff showed up so the end result is about the same.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Isn't it Steampunk? Not Cyberpunk? Hell I don't really know, I just saw this article about Steampunk clothing in the newspaper once.

[BRC]

No, Steampunk is industrial-revolution robots.

Go to Cyberdog, it's the single most awesome cyberpunk shop ever.
I go in there loads but never buy anything because everything in there is reculesly overpriced...

And Cyberpunk is technically:

:smallbiggrin:

[Threeshades]

But shadowrun is more like 15% Fantasy, 35% Cyberpunk and 50% Cheese.
Population: Zero is 50% Fantasy, 50% Cyberpunk.

[Lyinginbedmon]

It's more concentrated too, magic tends to be more popular away from the heavily populated areas (The cities, like the area we're presently looking at), where technology is prevalent. It's more useful out there too, since much of the planet is pretty desolate.

I actually like shadowrun thank you very much. But your point remains valid.

So Pop: Zero is a fantasy world that then advanced into sci-fi levels of tech?That's fairly cool. I expect the following exchange to occur at some point

Mage: Bah, ignorant fool, you cannot comprehend by power.
Tech user guy: What power do you have that I don't?
Mage: How about Fireballs
Tech User Guy: We have those, their called grenades.
Mage: Telepathic Link!
TUG: *Taps head* Internal communication system.
Mage: I can summon powerful allies
TUG: *holds up cell phone* I got my buddies on speed dial.
Mage: I can FLY!
TUG: Antigravity shoes.
Mage: I can Turn Invisible
TUG: Optical camoflauge
Mage: Magic Missles
TUG: Real, exploding missles.

and so on and so forth.

[Threeshades]

it's not that I don't like shadowrun. Im just saying, its pretty cheesy. I mean, a metroid crashes down on earth and suddenly everything is elves and magic?

That sounds like a lot of cheese to me. Finest cheddar.:smallsmile:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Personally I prefer a good Brie.

[Beholder1995]

Just read the new comic. Sweet! :smallcool:

EDIT:::The First Post doesn't specify- how frequently can we expect this to update?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Presently we're aiming at a one-a-week schedule, the next release is Monday (GMT).

[Pop: Zero]

First skritch of bad news: Due to workload issues, page two is slightly delayed.

This is Threeshades right?

AHHH!!! THis is so confusing... :smallannoyed:

[Threeshades]

No it was the space maggot. But it is my fault.

[Nameless]

Hello, this is Urzak-IIV, your space-maggot overseer. I noticed a lack of comic, this displeases the brood mind...yeah

[Lyinginbedmon]

Hello, this is Urzak-IIV, your space-maggot overseer. I noticed a lack of comic, this displeases the brood mind...yeah
*loudly sips space-coffee*

The maggots decided to restrict my personal time (Which largely consists of bathroom breaks) unless I posted page two on the Remember forums. Now they're getting tasers...

So I've put the second page up here too and I'm hoping they don't find a good chemist.

Threeshades however isn't being so lucky and they're taking the aforementioned artist on a month of..."rehabilitation" therapy in about a week. The flipside of the coin is nonexistent because I'm still being put to work writing for the time.

In other words, the comic will be on a hiatus for August until Threeshades gets back, but I'll be way ahead on writing it so it shouldn't be too bad. I'll see if I can come up with some stuff to keep you all interested in that time.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Help me...

That sounds like a lot of cheese to me. Finest cheddar.

I hope its sharp chedder. Thats my favorite sort.

[Threeshades]

I will however try to get another page done before im gone.

[memnarch]

It's ok. It's not #03, but better than nothing. :smalltongue:

*watches*

[Threeshades]

Number 3 should come on monday. It's finished and i sent it to Lying so he can post it on monday. While im away for the next month i'll prepare sketching for pages 4 and 5

[Lyinginbedmon]

Number 3 should come on monday. It's finished and i sent it to Lying so he can post it on monday.

This will be worth it. Trust me.

[Nameless]

It better.... 'cos if it's not... *shakes fist angrily* :smallmad:

[Pop: Zero]

Page #3 is now online for your viewing pleasure (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Tobi-Sean/Drawings/P0-3fin.jpg)

[memnarch]

What is happening in panel four? (*flick*) Did the guy get hit by something?

I'll assume the blood will probably be explained in a later comic...

[Lyinginbedmon]

What is happening in panel four? (*flick*) Did the guy get hit by something?

I'll assume the blood will probably be explained in a later comic... He's popping a blue-and-white pill.
See workman's compensation statement. I imagine the fact that the miners use pickaxes with conveyor belts on them, amounting to a chainsaw, should be some little clue as well.

[memnarch]

That--- just became more menacing...

[Nameless]

Yay comic! :smallbiggrin:

[Lyinginbedmon]

As Threeshades is going hungary for the month, it's left to me to support this place with "guest" art and comics, so here's a filler comic with two of Pop:0's characters (Both as yet unnamed...we'll fix that in September)

[Lyinginbedmon]

Or correct the spelling error...

[Szilard]

...or that.

[Admiral_Kelly]

This comic looks promising! Hope to see more of it.

[Nameless]

Heh, great comic Lying. :smallbiggrin:

In D&D, whever the DM offers me and my group a quest, I repeatedly shout "MAGICMISSLEMAGICMISSLEMAGICMISSLE"
Ruining the entire quest, but still manage to recieve plenty of gold to build a massive fortifyed, intelegant tank with rooms and corridors, kinda like a mini- Death Star on weels... that can fly and drive...

Although, I've recently aquired a Fire Ball spell... so now I shout "FIREBALLFIREBALLFIREBALLFIREBALL"

Heh... Good times... :smallsmile:

[Lyinginbedmon]

So clearly coming up with something as funny as last week's comparative gameplay isn't as easy as it might seem at first, therefore I resort to one of my best talents: Exposition.

Is that Zein-sumtin-or-another?
That gnome from ABR?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Is that Zein-sumtin-or-another?
That gnome from ABR?
(Nebbar)
Yeah, whenever I didn't have a character from the actual Pop:0 story I just used a character from ABR/Remember.

[Szilard]

Cool. I like useing Your mom as a good filler, it's usually long enough.

[Lyinginbedmon]

And here we have this week's filler. In a couple more, Threeshades should be back from...horrors, and your regular awesomeness can resume again :smallsmile:
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/1879/p0l4sf5.png

Oh look, an update...

#cough#

[Nameless]

sorry, I'm boicotting this thread untill I see an update.

...

... DAMN!

:smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

You should probably just be happy with this much, since I sure as heck can't draw like 'shades and they won't be back for a couple weeks yet. In the meantime, I'm drumming things about with new content so this glorious thread doesn't just get filled with successive "bumps".

Also, the space maggots are getting antsy...

[Nameless]

I'ma just a messin' with ya Lying. :smalltongue:

The fillers are great for fillers... :smallsmile:

[Threeshades]

I like the fillers too! :smallbiggrin: :thog:

[Lyinginbedmon]

You're back early, did the maggots capitulate? :smallconfused:

Also, good to know :smalltongue:

[Threeshades]

You're back early, did the maggots capitulate? :smallconfused:

Also, good to know :smalltongue:

Not back, just having internet. Im still going to be away for almost a week.

I havent finished the sketching for page 5 even. Because i got too lazy too draw those rather busy panels.

So instead my mind popped up with an amazing plot for a fantasy story and i started drawing up some pages for a solo project.

[Ichneumon]

Are we going to see more of this solo project?

[Threeshades]

Are we going to see more of this solo project?

once im back at my photoshop and tablet equpped computer surely.


So much ill say to it: it's medieval-tech level free style fantasy without the classic fantasy races except goblins (so no gnomes, halflings, elves, orcs or whatsoever), there will be races of my own twisted imagination though. Also it will have a final fantasy inspired but largely made up by me magic system and human civilization will not be formed after existing cultures but will take aspects of all different kinds plus some of my own ideas to create an individual style.
And it will probably be quite bloody every now and then. That's all im gonna say so much.

Also i couldnt think of a title yet.

Seems that every cool artist has a tabled these days :biggrin::tongue:

[memnarch]

Oh look, an update...

#cough#

Oh look, I just got back. :smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

The filler comic this week is going to be late (Though probably still up by the end of today GMT), I've been busy getting Memory Loss up and running.




...that didn't come out quite right.

[Lyinginbedmon]

This is certainly the latest comic (Filler or otherwise) I've ever done, and for that I apologise. Still, it's here, nice and shiny. :smallsmile:

Yeah, so... what do you do if you get in a fight?

Run away screaming.

Oh crap. That made the rest of my day. :smallcool:

[Green-Shirt Q]

I laughed out loud. That dwarf's hilarious! :smallbiggrin:

If all the comics are as good as that one and take as long as that one, it'll be worth the wait. :smallsmile:

[Lyinginbedmon]

If all the comics are as good as that one and take as long as that one, it'll be worth the wait. :smallsmile:

With luck, they won't. Provided the artist doesn't get distracted with Pathfinder again...

S/He got a headstart on the next one during the month of punitive measures, so hopefully the next one will be on time.

[Threeshades]

But I like Pathfinder :smallfrown:

[Nameless]

ZOMG UPDATE!

*runs around screaming*

[Lyinginbedmon]

The lack of discussion is making the artist antsy.

That makes the space maggots antsy.

That makes the maggot babies cry.

That makes it really hard for me to script. :smallannoyed:

[Green-Shirt Q]

What the heck do you expect? People run out of things to say when you don't update.

[memnarch]

Well, if you want me to say something, "Boingo boingo whoopy knickers".


...


Ok, fine. What kind of style would you say this?

[Threeshades]

What the heck do you expect? People run out of things to say when you don't update.

We totally updated right there!

[Lyinginbedmon]

And in 7 days, we'll update again!

Or you'll all die from watching some obscure video.


No, actually, I think it's probably the update thing.

EDIT: Is it illegal or unsafe to drug space maggot larvae? They're really starting to bug me...no pun intended.

[Nameless]

I believe that, if you add a pineapple apoclypse... you will get more readers. :smallsmile:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well there certainly aren't many if any pineapples in the setting anymore...

I suppose you could call it a pineapple apocalypse.

[Nameless]

Really? Thankgod, I hate pineapples.

[Bayar]

I like it ? Is it enough of a comment ? :confused::tongue:

[Threeshades]

I made aus a shiny first banner so all you people who read this can copy it into your signature with a link and bring more people from all around the forum, and some other places here to marvel at what the space maggots are forcing us to do:

Also, This dwarf appears to be an intresting character who may provide the neccessary snark.

Snarks ? Yeah, they are somewhat like space maggots. Just more....buggy.

The Cameo List as far as I can tell

Lying, Omega, Nameless, The top-hatted gentleman in panel one may be mechafox. After that we've got Panda threeshades, Salmon, and Gir.

[memnarch]

Add The Gremlin to the list. Top hat is Mechafox or Mad Mask.

Is it just me, or do I also see Tim in there talking with Threeshades RL?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Is it just me, or do I also see Tim in there talking with Threeshades RL?

You see an aasimar talking to a tiefling.

Oh, and Memnarch, look at the very bottom of each page, right after the copyright. How do you not know who Tobias is?
[RE: "Who is Tobias?" on the Remember forums]

Also, I'm amazed neither of you have noticed Randomizer.

[memnarch]

Well, he looks like you. (with the gloves anyway)

And for some reason my brain registers BRC as posting Rand when I find out that he ninjas me before I can even post. Oh well.

[Threeshades]

Even with the so spectacularly missed Randomizer you are still missing some.

[BRC]

Even with the so spectacularly missed Randomizer you are still missing some.

Blargh, I saw randomizer, I just forgot to put him in the list for some reason.

[memnarch]

Askaris? (guy talking to Igon)

...

Well, I'm out of ideas.

[BRC]

Unidentified People so far.
Panel 1
White haired guy talking to Igon: Dunno who this could be.
Bandanna'd green haired person selling LCD screens: Again, Don't know.
Red haired women buying fruit from nameless: Dunno
Panel 2
Green Haired Elf: ?
Assimar: Dunno
Teifling: Dunno
blue shirted mohawk guy: Dunno.
Panel 3 (That wasn't in panel two)
Big Wolf Thingy: Perhaps its THE WOLF BEAST from TloTB.
Little yelling guy w/ brown hair: Hrmm, perhaps this is Rob (Short, brown hair, shoulderpads), though I woulnd't bet on it.
Guy in brown robe with black hair: His back is too us between the teifling and the assamar, Not quite sure if he's supposed to be anybody. Heck, it took me a while to even figure out that brown thing with black on top between the teifling and the assimar was a person.

Highlighted ones aren't cameos as far as I know (I didn't write them in, Threeshades drew them in specially).

Also important to note: Big Wolf Thingy and Guy in brown robe with black hair are the same person. Connect the black hair pieces.

One cameo still hasn't been noticed at all.

[BRC]

Concerning Wolf Thingy: That's what I did originally, but it seemed a bit off to me. Ah well, guess my first instinct was right.
Hmm, I don't see anybody else in there that might be a cameo.

[memnarch]

Ok, this is what we've got so far.http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/5079/cameosib4.png

1. Onasuma?
2. I still think this looks like Tim
3. don't know
4. don't know

I probably covered the cameo that we haven't found up, didn't I? Also, I see some archives.

[Elder Tsofu]

heh, I also thought the fair-haired youth was Tim.
But it certainly looks more like madmask than mechafox, doesn't it? (even though the string to the monocle could be hidden by his head).
I like it, it gives the comic longer lifespan. :smallbiggrin:

[Nameless]

Yay for another awesome comic! :smallbiggrin:

[Dr. Simon]

it's not that I don't like shadowrun. Im just saying, its pretty cheesy. I mean, a metroid crashes down on earth and suddenly everything is elves and magic?

That sounds like a lot of cheese to me. Finest cheddar.:smallsmile:

Unless they radically changed things for 4th Edition, that's not what happened.

The concept (with Shadowrun and Earthdawn) is that the Earth's "manasphere" undergoes fluctuations over millenia, thus the strength of "magic" goes through cyclical changes. The Shadowrun setting is during an upswing of the mana cycle, thus magic is on the rise. As well as spellcasting, various genotypes and diseases are surpressed in a low mana era, hence the sudden appearance of fantasy races and monsters as the mana levels become high enough for them to be expressed again.

Perhaps you're getting confused with the Halley's Comet arc, which was basically an excuse to introduce *even more* magical things into the setting when Halley's Comet passes by.





Good comic, BTW :)

Yes, you've spotted all the different cameos plus the archives. Now you just have to name them all :smallwink:

Clue for #1: Spiky white hair.

I won't be surprised if you can't put a name to the aasimar and tiefling though.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Clue for #1: Spiky white hair.


Would it be Omicron by any chance?

[Almighty Salmon]

Ok, this is what we've got so far.http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/5079/cameosib4.png

1. Could be Omicron.
2. Young Igon/Tim Apparently not.
3. Firedrake?
4. ... Uh, i'm at a loss. Maybe that kobold yelling halfling?

Also, I got a cameo. Epic win. :smallbiggrin:

[Lyinginbedmon]

I think the white haired guy is omicron, green haired elf could be keris rain, and i think the mohawk guy is bor.

[Vulion]

This intrigues me...

[YPU]

Wow, this is cool indeed. And damn nice job on the cameos, makes me wish I had enough grit to get into ABR and keep going. Ah well, at least now I have another comic to read.

[Threeshades]

Whooo! New readers! :thog: :elan:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Pop: Zero is unconnected to ABR, at the moment we're considering paid cameos for a very small cost but that's still in consideration.

I think Bor is that Orc/Ogre ninja from the Third Plot.

[Ichneumon]

This really is awesome. I love the cameo's.

[BRC]

Yeah, I'll say that #4 is Rob, though that may just be me seeing my own character,but I'll say it's him.

[Lyinginbedmon]

What do you mean by paid cameo's?

Our eventual goal is for Population: Zero to get it's own dedicated website, at which point we'll need donations and other support to pay for hosting, much like Remember.

One of our ideas is $5 equivalent for a cameo in a given page (Compared to webcomics like Commissioned which charges twice that.). But that's still in development and may not actually materialise.

@V Yes, excepting fan art. We're not quite cruel enough yet to copyright our characters such that they can't be made by hard-working fans with artistic capabilities.

Okay people, was that a good way to introduce a new character or a great way to introduce a new character?

That is, of course, assuming he's supposed to be the head with the pointed ears next to the dwarf in the banner.

Hm, depends; If they have a gun take the gun, then throw them at the chasers, if they don't, toss him at the chasers anyway.

Nice, the comic number on the bottom says "5" however.

That's an optical illusion :smallannoyed:

Also you're supposed to look at the comic, not the copyright. Unless you are going to do something that concerns this comic's copyright.

Question to be asked: if you are the writer and shades is the artist, who is "Pop: Zero"?

And is that the guy from the bar?

(BTW: how many ABR guys are on page 5? I counted 9.

[Bayar]

I enjoy this comic. It has more story than 4th wall breaking jokes about D&D rules.

[XenoTherapy]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but I like the fact that's a techno-thriller that starts counting at 0.

(BTW: how many ABR guys are on page 5? I counted 9.

:smallannoyed:

Keen eyes, yes it is.

(No there are 10 ABR characters and 3 other cameos)


Question to be asked: if you are the writer and shades is the artist, who is "Pop: Zero"?
To answer that, I'll quote myself:


Pop: Zero is in fact a new brand of Ice cream designed to erase the free will upon consumation. The manufacturer fed us this new ice cream and made us start a webcomic for them to advertize their infernal product and conduct their insidious plan to enslave all humankind. The person who opened that account is not a human but a 20 feet long monstrous larva-like alien with drooling fangs. The whole Pop: Zero company hasbeen founded by these creatures.

And they will punish me for leaking this information... Please help me! :smallfrown: :smalleek:


Onan unrelated note:
Thanks for the nice words on the art. :smallsmile:

[Lyinginbedmon]

You can see Pop:Zero being advertised in the comic a few times.

The maggots like using subliminal messages, but we've tried to make the messages as overt as possible to save you all.


Oh smeg, they read this...

[The Gremlin]

These comics look pretty good, especially since I was in one of them. :smallbiggrin:
Keep up the good work. I'm putting this in my sig soon.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Just a heads-up for our regular readers, page 7 may be somewhat late. We've been doing a lot of work this past work with figuring out future plot details and this fairly addictive but low-quality game, "Real Life", has been sucking up quite a bit of time as well.

Fear not: You will not be disappointed.

[Elder Tsofu]

Well, better do it good than stressing out one.
I read through and saw that I had forgotten that they still had that little blond guy in the backpack - I hope he don't suffocate. :smalleek:

[Lyinginbedmon]

You sit in the dimly-lit bar of an old tavern. Gin stirs in your glass as you sit at the bar, and a howling storm rages outside.

Suddenly, a creak, as the door opens a bell sounds, and a stranged soaked to the bone enters the silent room. His dusty black coat drips eerily on the carpet in an unbreaking rhythm.

He takes a seat beside you, signals for a glass. He reaches into his coat for the money, and marked on his right hand you see...

[Dr. Simon]

Something I've noticed - all of the main characters so far appeared in the opening bar scene. The little halfling/gnome in the rucksack and the orc driver have space in the header, although their silhouettes have not been filled. I went searching for the fifth member - I'm reckoning the blue-haired person playing cards in Episode 0 will crop up at some point....

[Lyinginbedmon]

...the orc driver...

You're not that perceptive then, he's a goblin. Orcs, as mentioned in the fillers, are still a very tribal species.

[Threeshades]

And they don't have long and pointy ears. And are much more muscly

[Fawkes]

The little halfling/gnome in the rucksack ....

Who? I don't see any rucksacks in 00.

Edit: Oh wait you mean this guy (http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8176/p02finuu6.jpg). Wow. I totally missed that she put him in the bag.

Man, she hits people with that bag!

[Threeshades]

Man, she hits people with that bag!

Why do you think the bag was moaning when she did so?

[Fawkes]

I wasn't paying close attention. I thought the dude being hit made the noise.

Is the bag guy even still alive?

(note, it doesn't load for me either)

[Threeshades]

Yeah, that happens sometimes.

it was yesterday that the first time i saw someone complaining about an otherwise functional link not working. And since then this is already the 3rd or 4th report. Kind of makes me think imageshack is collapsing

[Lyinginbedmon]

It's not showing up on my Imageshack gallery at the moment (It's an Imageshack url, Threeshades uploads to Photobucket).

Rest assured we are working to fix this problem, given Imageshack's server issues of late.

[Lyinginbedmon]

The ceiling fan spun wildly, off balance. It had to be, it was missing half a blade.

She sat there, on the bed, staring at it.

She hadn't wanted it like this, but he forced her hand. She was covered in it, it was horrifying, but she didn't care about that.

All she cared about was what was sitting in her hand, as he lay there at her feet, unmoving.

It was page 8. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/Lyinginbedmon/PopulationZero/P0-8fin-1.jpg)
