Totes loving the Rikk page!!
The Johnny/Overthink dynamic is so interesting and full of potential. Johnny has proven to have a very animated face, something I hope to continue to emphasize.
I like drawing mugs like Rikk's!
As ever, I'm having a great time with this.
Next... the Rebels are brought out into the arena!

I probably don't want to know what Rikk is doing, do I?
You are introducing more new characters, aren't you? Gads! I love your characters but I can't even remember what Rikk does, besides 'whatever'. This is all so very anti-hero.
I can see Comet being played by James Dean and Rikk by Steve McQueen.

There are absolutely MORE new characters on the horizon, so get out your scorecards!
It's okay if you can't remember what Rikk does-- he hasn't played a huge role so far-- but he has vibration powers (last seen used on the spiders attacking them in issue 5 on Seksha).
I'm not sure what you mean by "anti-hero", help me understand. If by anti-hero you mean there are no clear shades of black and white in many of the Starsearchers, I very much agree.
Hang in there, things are going to take some jagged twists and turns THIS ISSUE, promise.
Oooooh, casting call! Dean, didya see that?
Shady, I'd love to see you on the Starsearchers and Legion World Facebook pages. Let me know if you need help getting there!! And as always, THANK YOU for the comments and for reading!

Shady, I realize you have vision issues, so I must ask... could you see the verbiage on the first few panels of page 11? I hope that it is obvious that a dark, ominous voice/presence has visited Rikk in his sleep. Rikk bursts awake to find his sister asking him to join the group.
Meanwhile, I love that you are thinking about who could portray these characters. On our Facebook page, I collected LOTS of inspiration images for many of the characters. It would be fun to get your opinions on those.
I saw them. I just thought that the voice ended up belonging to his sister, that she was seeing him doing something 'bad' in the dark, in the bed.
lol, gads
Shades of Omarr! lol I'm sure what you were showing and what LASH was saying would have been perfectly understandable to most everyone who read the scene.
I'll check out your site. I'm still a little shaky on Facebook, I'm afraid, but this will give me a great reason to work things out.

And Michael, yes, that's a good definition of anti-hero. I also see them as complex and very often, depressed and unlikeable. The two examples of film stars that I gave were icons of the genre, one for each decade during the 50's and 60's.
I like that you have some true heroes in the mix. Not that heroes aren't complex, they can be and I like them that way. I just need likeable/endearing in order to hold my interest.

Guys, I just now discovered StarSearchers. WOW OH WOW! I've only seen the intro pages so far, and looked briefly at the last page of the thread.
Lash, the characters are just the kind that have always grabbed my attention and drawn me into a book. I can't wait to see where they're headed.
Dean, I love the art! I've seen your work before, but not in full storytelling layouts like this.
I *will* be back to check out the rest ASAP.

I'd wanted to do a 3 or 4 page update, but I just can't hold out on you guys any longer! I added page 22, the introduction of King Omarr, at the Execution.

Thank you for the nice comments. I'd love to read your reviews on the upcoming sequences!
But there are planets out there who adore him (we saw some residents of Seksha cheering his name).
I see him as one of those charismatic people who has stumbled into good fortune; he used his charisma to take over Rexall and turn his people's warlike tendencies away from each other and toward other planets in the beginning.
None of that makes him a good person by any means, though. He's wicked and petty to the core.
