Families/Cемьи 11

Families/Cемьи 11Page 11 of a voting incentive storyline Families/Cемьи is now available! And so is a link to all the previous pages.

SPOILERS AHEAD – read the update first before reading what I’ve written below.

Abaddonauts!: Many readers might have been expecting this moment. Well, I aim to please!

This page is a call back to a lot of Magellan lore:

  • The Charnel Pit Six – this group was mentioned a couple of times in relation to the Q’Arth demon invasion of Moscow in 1972… very early on in the first chapter in fact. See pages 1.03 and 1.25… the fact that Brian and Nadine both know about the CP6 means that this is presumably common knowledge or mythos about the Q’Arth. They are also mentioned in the History (page 3)…
  • The Vrax Darma – was mentioned by Maverick in Bad Karma on page 4.282… it’s half of the Vortice Sol (the other half piece being the Vrax Japh). Maverick mentions that the Vortice Sol opens the gateway to the realm where the Q’Arth exist… clearly the Vrax Darma by itself can do that too, but not in the way intended.
  • Reds on Mars – we know there is a Soviet base on Mars… but did we know they had a presence back in 1972? No, we did not, but we do now. Surprisingly, it will get mentioned further on a much later page.
  • Abaddonauts – not mentioned anywhere previously. But I thought it was a cool name… a counter to ‘cosmonaut’ – but instead of ‘star sailors’ these are ‘hell sailors’. Or would have been had they not just been vaporised in a puff of green plasma.
  • HRUAAIII! – is this how you spell the Wilhelm Scream?

Next update: MONDAY 25 May (late a couple of days)… It was all lies!

Families/Cемьи 10

Families/Cемьи 10The tenth page of a new voting incentive storyline Families/Cемьи is now available! And so is a link to all the previous pages – I’ve now started to collect previous pages into the usual easy to navigate and read format.

SPOILERS AHEAD – read the update first before reading what I’ve written below.

The Kremlin is not happy: Do I know what a real Politburo meeting in the late 1960s looked like? Nope. This is how I imagine it looked in the Magellanverse though!! There’s a significant point of note… their intention to look at the supernatural world for “loyal” weapons.

And also, as if it wasn’t already pretty obvious, the whole “we can get rid of your powers with a push of the button” thing is totally a scam!

Next update: Friday May 15… Abbadonauts!

Families/Cемьи 08The eighth page of a new voting incentive storyline Families/Cемьи is now available!

In pursuit: Red Vlad and Comrade Katya’s plan for their newborn son move to the next phase. But will they succeed?

Next update: Saturday May 2… the plan. (I’d like to have it up on May 1, but that’s unlikely at this stage.)

“The Word Of xmung”

The Word Of xmung

There are some benefits and some downsides to having a long running comic like Magellan.

The key benefit has been being able to really sink my teeth into a project that I love. As it currently stands, I would have a hard time running out of stories – the Magellan universe is so expansive, with so many characters and the opportunity for so many situations… it’s just an awesome sandbox to play in.

On the flip side, that expansiveness has led me to trip myself up on more than one occasion!

The genre savvy of you will be aware of the Word of God trope…

A statement regarding some ambiguous or undefined aspect of a work, the Word of God comes from someone considered to be the ultimate authority, such as the creator, director, or producer.

Readers who have followed Magellan for many years, possible even from it’s early days on Comics Genesis to Graphic Smash and to its current home at this URL will know that I’m prone to making comments under the comic, sometimes explaining some element without it having ever been in the comic itself. The Cast Page is also a pretty good example of this… for example, under Ranger Bill it notes he is not native to the Magellanverse reality but from an “unknown realm”, a factoid never noted, let alone addressed, in the comic itself. Will this ever be explored in the comic? Maybe? I’d like to! In my mind I know what that realm is and what it means for Ranger Bill, whose name is actually Jake Smith-Smith (also never addressed!!) ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
