Episode Notes It’s the brothers and sister from Episode One. Now we know what they were tracking. Proper planes just get swatted out of the sky by giants, but the ultralights are more like annoying flies then giant mosquitos. They let the crew get closer for attack runs.  I’m using an already limited palette, but I seem to be settling in on a few dominant colors these days.

Episode Notes Almost didn’t get this one in. I was out of town a lot last week for the Day Job and to visit Mom and Dad. I guess getting the update done under the wire makes me an official webcomicer. The riders are not giants. I’ve always loved the style of sound effects as speech. Comics everybody!

We’re five weeks in at The Giant War. If you’re following the story on Tumblr, do me a favor and like this post. I just want to see how is actively out there. Episode notes: This is one of the original stories that sparked the whole Giant War idea. Yes, she has Tank Girl’s haircut as grown up. It’s not a Mal Jones drawn project unless I work DC in there somehow (that’s the Metro in panels 2 and 3).

By SPX this year, District Comics will be out.

An anthology put together by Matt Dembicki, District Comics is filled with stories all about Washington, DC by a variety of creators. I tossed my hat in the ring (of course) and got paired up with Scott Brown.

Now! What makes this interesting for you, my lovely readers, is that Scott Brown published all my early comics work (Overtime, The Passenger, some shorts, other things you will never see again cause oh-my-god the art) from about 2000 to 2005.

He was a huge supporter of my comics work and always pushed me to do better. We fell out of touch after a bit, but cue seven years later and we’re together again.

The story is Burn, Washington, Burn, a telling of the British’s march on Washington during the War of 1812. There will be more art when I’m allowed to show it, but there are some thumbnails in the meantime.

Did you know that there was a massive Potomac River tributary that used to cut right through downtown over by the Mall? This city was basically a giant, gross, swamp pit… I guess that much hasn’t changed.

I love history.

Ray asked me a good question on Twitter today: @frenden: Are you going to limit each vignette to a single page or do some longer form stuff too? My answer: @skeletonjones: We don’t know yet. If a longer piece comes together, we’ll do it. The big rule we have right now is ‘Don’t force anything’. That 140 characters is a very big part of The Giant War. If the story leans towards a longer spell, we’ll be sure to do it, but we can’t and won’t force it. We’re working hard to stay out of our own way and that includes the storytelling. So no longer pieces quite yet. But! That doesn’t mean that you won’t see some re-occuring characters. — Page three went up today, and more new ones will be up every Monday, just like clockwork.
