Awesome to have you with us, Tracker!!

I do try to keep Dean challanged and interested with boatloads of characters, and I hope they also interest you!

Looking forward to your future reviews! (pun not intended but unavoidable)

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!

I hope the Queen has a knife or something!
Omarr brings out the worst im me, I'm afraid.

Omarr is a scoundrel for certain.

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.

The bad news: Our home pc is still messed up, so I can't scan/color/letter/post stuff yet. We're slowly dealing with it. The complexity of the issue, plus busy RL is keeping it from getting done.

The good news: I've been doing LOTS of penciling! I just finished pencils on issue #7, and am a few pages into #8 now!

Sidenote: I also have'nt picked up my comics since December or November, so I'm out of the loop on all that, too! Gah! Sigh! Choke!

Finished all the pencils for #8! I've even begun #9! At this rate, I'll actually catch up with Lash. Of course, my coloring/lettering duty has a long road ahead.....

OH MY GOSH!!!! There's some characters... one in particular... I'd LOVE to get a sneak peek at, when you get there!

I feel like I should go ahead and start # 11 since you're doing all this pencilling, might as well keep it going, right?

Today I'll do my standard re-familiarization (rereading the past scripts) and get going on # 11 tomorrow!

Finally, our cracked out computer stuff is manageable!!!! I was able to color and letter a couple more pages of #6.

So, if you recall, the Starsearchers' young rebels were paraded onstage before the assassins, and Omarr had just arrived. Well, now that he's here, it's time for some booty kickin'!

Please let us know what you think of the execution scene so far!

Since there don't seem to be enough characters yet, we meet.... Omegan and Kymelia!

I know, right? I hate we have such an itty bitty cast...

LOVE THESE NEW PAGES. Can't praise them enough.

It's always a good thing when the writer sees the pages and doesn't go, "WTF?"

Thank you Lash!

I assume you'd tell me if you had concerns about the way your story is being depicted.

So, issue #6 will have a total of 36 story pages. I'm working on page 29 right now.

Hang in there, LW! The excitement is just beginning!

I hope Temp is okay, somehow.
Perhaps he's not actually killable or he can absorb the Rexallian energies or something!

I loved the twisty parts at the end with the delayed time casts and the other 'variables'.
Good old chaos theory!

Thanks, Shady, I was very pleased with myself for coming up with that time-delay twist!

More surprises coming hard and fast in the remaining pages!

Thanks, Shady!

So on page 28 we meet Delana and Jaykub, cuz... y'know, there just aren't enough characters yet!

Overthink's made a whooooole lotta rebel friends on a whooooole lotta planets!

Jaykub has strong ties to one of our regular Starsearchers cast, which I'm sure will be easy to figure out.

Hey LW, I finished #6 and posted it on Facebook, but haven't had time to upload it to photobucket and then post it here. I will do so soon.

Oh, I haven't seen a mention about the podcast here.

Is LW interested in Starsearchers?

You guys are definitely getting better and better with each issue! Didn't see that ending coming!

Thank you EDE! I spent some time regretting the slap-dash way I put the crew together in issue 1, but have decided upon several rereadings that I am still glad I got the entire gang together in one issue... some storytelling suffered a bit perhaps and that is all my fault.

I like to agree things have gotten better every issue writing-wise (Dean has knocked a home-run every time IMO); I think # 3 I hit my stride as a writer here, and have kept on running!

I only hope I can maintain interest with the transitional issues following # 6's bananas cliffhanger... a couple of issues depend heavily on intrigue here; I know I can count on Dean 100% to make what I've written look immensely better than it actually is!

I'm pretty certain that both Shady and Nightcrawler follow us exclusively here.

I know uploading and posting is a LOT of additional work on top of your pencilling, coloring and lettering!

If it would help, I am happy to post the pages here (I can do that from the Facebook page, save the images to my computer and go from there).

Love you, Dean!!!!!

Gosh Lash, that'd be nice! Let me know if FB shrinks them down too much. If so, I'll work it out.

I also mentioned on FB that I will be posting some cover roughs for #7. I like my first idea, but I have even more ideas, so I want to submit them to the group(s) for input/vote for favorite.

I still need to add the to drunkduck, too. At least dd doesn't shrink 'em like FB does.

I will get on this right now!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Very exciting with good twists and turns.
Reminds me of Power Company (one of my favorite books).

I need to get you both set up at the web-comic site so you can post them directly there in comic book form, if you like.
