And we're back! Heads up, the first page of the chapter is coming up on Friday. Be sure to come by for it.

So, we have some new faces here, and a cover that is admittedly slightly misleading as toward the actual content of the chapter. Not to worry though, those figures on the US flag and Arc are showing up in this chapter, I assure you. The cover just doesn't reflect some other stuff that'll be going on in the chapter.

Then there's our lady in the corner. We'll get to her on Friday but this chapter's going to leave you a lot more questions about her than answers. She's going to be important and is prominent throughout the entire chapter.

Also, we have a new cover format, and the new costume! Yeah, the cover thing was kind of an experimental retool but Adam and I both wound up very happy with the end results. I'm bugged about the lack of stars though, I wanted to find a way to stick them in there in coloring but there wasn't really any way to do it reasonably that I could find that didn't look worse. Would've been easier to do with a small flag. Still, on the whole I'm very happy with this one.

Then there's the new costume. I'm already pretty pleased with it, but we'll be seeing the old one on occasion still too so don't expect an immediate switchover of everything to the new costume or whatever.

I was reluctant on the idea of changing the costume but.. Yeah, this one looks way better. Was originally gonna put her in the original outfit for the crossover chapter in Blues, but like this one way better.

But yeah, really like the cover. Think it's really striking, and especially like the image of... Well, I dunno if I can say his name, but do get an ominous feeling from him. Very propaganda-ish just form the look of it.

One complaint is that the semi-shadowy figures under him don't look quite right. They're supposed to be standing at an angle and going off into the distance, but also kinda looks like they just get progressively shorter.

My spring break ends today, so back to school at 10. Really, really needed this break. I realized just the other night how much I'd been able to mellow out from the anxiety of my finals. Seriously, fail one class last semester and now paranoid as crazy. Especially since my plans of graduating in the summer went up in smoke.

I'm really, really sorry, guys, but the weekend update this week's canceled. Martin's having some internet problems and my schoolwork this week is way heavier than I expected.

Well this is certainly going to be an interesting chapter and it looks like Arc isn't the only new villain in it.

Heh, you'll see on that I guess. You'll probably have a good idea soon of who those people are.

This will without a doubt be an interesting chapter.
