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!

“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…

Families/Cемьи 07The seventh page of a new voting incentive storyline Families/Cемьи is now available!

Sorry it’s a bit late!  I’m trying to prioritise everything and keep a buffer, but the main story has precedence so this buffer slipped.

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

The Black Suited Dog: It’s probably no surprise that Red Vlad and Comrade Katya have been driven to these lengths over their son. But will they succeed?

By voting you not only get a new page of this story (and access to past pages) but you help raise Magellan’s profile and help potential new readers find us. Once you’re through you’ll also get links to previous pages.

Next update: Sunday April 26… pursuit!!
