I read the rules carefully and they say nothing about blatant self-promotion

Hello, scan-kateers. (Dailyites? Scandies? What is the appropriate portmanteau-ized noun? Has there been a vote? Somebody needs to get on that.) It's been a very long while since I posted anything to s_d, mostly because I got banned from Livejournal long before s_d did. But I have something for you all today!

See, since I went off and did my own blog where I can write all the poems about unicorns that I like, I've had the opportunity to start working with artists who are phenomenally talented and who frankly will probably soon get hired away from me to work at a Real Comics Company where they pay you in money rather than compliments. This in turn meant that I am now able to create actual comics which people can read and everything.

The first of these projects to reach something resembling fruition is Al'Rashad: City of Myths, which is set in a fantasy world, of sorts, and that's all you get to know for now about the story. The reason you should read this comic, other than that I wrote it and therefore it is a timeless classic, is that Davinder Brar, my collaborator and artist, is basically right now where someone like Jamie McKelvie was five or six years ago: ridiculously talented and working under the radar until such time as Marvel or DC come along and make him King Shit of Fuck Mountain. (If Jamie McKelvie doesn't have that in his job title he should.)

And how ridiculously talented is he?





So, if you want to read the whole first issue now that you have seen this awesomeness? You can do so here.

This is why I adore Internet Comics.

MightyGodKing! It is good to see you back and running with the old crew again. I've been to your blog a few times in the past, and I love seafaring fantasy. So yeah, this is working for me.

Needless to say, your presence has been sorely missed. Welcome back, and good luck on your new endeavors!

MightyGodKing! Yeeess! I love your goddamn blog, your "Why I should write Dr. Strange" stuff is fantastic and gave me so many idea's for Jason Blood RP.

Way to tap an unusual mythos btw, who needs- holy shit the BEARDS MAN, THE BEARDS IN THIS COMIC ARE EPIC!

PS: There's actually a Blatent Self Promotion tag for you to use. In Joke: Blatent Self Promotion

[badficwriter]

Wait, why is 'blatant' misspelled?

[stubbleupdate]

I want to know why shameless is spelt with a 'b'

[glprime]

I must also applaud the "Why I Should Write Dr. Strange" entry.

I believe we're referered to as s_der's* having dealt with the heretical s_dites in the last unholy war) or, at a pinch, "that lot".

I believe the true collective noun for a group of s_der's is, of course, a "perversion"

* Be sure to pronounce that underscore.

[retro_nouveau]

Except for icon_uk, the one referred to as a sc_aily* (but usually in conjunction with the color green).

* The underscore is silent in this case.

[icon_uk]

In brief(s), I see what you did there!

[joasakura]

I see the butt of that joke...

[icon_uk]

Well, that was a bit pants.

[skalja]

How would one pronounce that underscore? Like a glottal stop? s!ders?

[icon_uk]

How would one pronounce that underscore?

Just like you read it.

[pallas_athena]

With a sort of WHOOSHK! noise.

[joasakura]

I just like the phrase "GLOTTAL STOP" I think that will be my new punk band.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Or 'G'lottal Stop'; that way it would have one in it.

[greenmask]

Ooo, nice.

[big_daddy_d]

You, my friend, are an inspiration.

[joasakura]

that's way pretty

and welcome back, MGK! :)
