Hello long time no see. I got a job outside my house and it’s more physically strenuous than I’m used to and it’s killinnnnggg meeee. Hence the big gap. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and adjust. How are you

Honestly, amazing right now! I check this place every other day or so just in case, and this gave a jolt of dopamine right into my veins. Take your time and take care of yourself! The world is rough, and bodies are fragile. <3
Welcome back! Always happy to see an update :) Particularly fond of panel 2; my instant thought was, “oh that is classic Schtein right there.” His face reminds me just enough of the Chapter 2 art style, which is when I first fell in love with this comic <3
Side note, every time I look at Frank I'm reminded of reading somewhere (tumblr?) that he strongly reeks of body odor, like the dude just doesn't wear deodorant, and how this would absolutely haunt my irl. At least I think it that was a Frank tidbit…
Beautiful page as ever!
Yeah, he’s stinky. Like BO and a burnt down house. I mean hey Doc’s kinda stinky too but he’s cigarette stinky.
yeee c:
Oh hey! An update! Good to see you back, Mr Grundy! :D
I’ve been checking this website daily for the past however-many months! Gotta say I love the color contrast between the warm, friendly colors/lighting on frank and the cold, gloomy lighting on Schtein. :D
I hope things are getting easier for you, mate! I know these are hard times for most people, but at least they’re molding us into more perseverant versions of ourselves. Yay.
“Since July? I think? I’m not good with time.”
Me too, buddy, me too.
He’s a lot friendlier than I was expecting.
Great to get another page! It’s a really beautiful one as well!
I’m sorry your work is difficult. Hope you can get in some kind of groove and things get easier.
Eyy, welcome back! You’re on my RSS feed, so I’ll never miss an update :3
Nice
Welcome back! :) Good to hear things are relatively well.
Frank’s shirt looks awesome.
Nice colour contrasts and lighting, too.
Now I’m wondering… how does Frank prevent his clothes going up in flames every time he does his phoenix fire thing? (I assume his body is immune to his own flames or to all fire in general.)
Eh, I guess the answer is the same as Pyro from X-Men, that he can control fire and prevent the fire from burning his clothes and hair?
Or is it the same as with The Living Torch from Fantastic Four: “We have to keep this franchise PG.”? ;-)
I mean my real answer will always be “it’s just a comic.” but yeah he can probably control how far away from his body the flames happen. He’s probably experienced enough at it by now that he doesn’t even really think about it anymore. Though, the edges of his shirt are very singed and discolored (which I illustrated better on the previous page). He’s pretty rough on his clothes. He probably also checks labels to make sure they’re not super flammable and probably also sprays stuff down with fire retardant. The stuff you gotta think about when you’re the fire guy.
