Red against blue background hurts the ol' eyes.
thanks! i'm sorry about your eyes. i think it's the size of the text more than the color, though. i'll mess around with it this week.

and not like a poking a bruise good hurt
i changed the font color and size. it's pinkish now. thanks for your purchases, guys!
Looking great man, love it.

): Rama, it'd be double grawesome if you took the paypal for this one.
I agree. Though maybe I'll just grab a money order the next time I have to drop stuff off at the post office.
this is really cool. lol @ double dudes II
REmake's a cold, cold universe when a man will just knowingly run over a mother and child in the middle of a crosswalk. I hope those action lines behind the tires are from his acceleration and not some half-hearted moral obligation to brake.
Heh.Quote:

good news! adhouse is putting out a remake collection in 2009. i think we're shooting for spring/summer so that we can hit up the summer conventions on the east coast with the book. the book will contain remake 1 - 3 and what would've been remake 4.

this is just a panel from the new bit i'm working on. i changed the words as not to spoil anything. anyway, thanks to those of you who've purchased original copies of the single issues and have just been all around supportive over the years. i'll keep y'all posted on an actual release date and stuff.
edit: whoops! i almost forgot to throw in an annoying animated gif!

woooo!
Hahahaha, this is cool.
As someone who's never written a full comic I was wondering how you get from start to finish in each issue. Do you already know what you want to do with the series and are just working on it? Do you write as you go? What's you process for writing the books?
I've tried a few times to work on books and and suffer paralysis of analysis. Thinking too much about a story before starting makes me worry to the point where I don't think the story could be much good to begin with. Do you go through anything similar and how do you combat things that can get in the way of finishing an issue?
(Wow, sounds like fan mail)
ahaha, nah, it's ok. uhm...i basically started the first remake for fun. they're just small stories that have very little connecting them outside of the characters themselves. there's a running joke about eating kittens, though. i basically made it up as i went along. i had the same problem you did. whenever i tried to sit there and "write" a story i found myself analyzing it way too much...and second guessing myself.
usually the ideas for me start out as a joke and i just build around it. it's funny 'cause i never know how i'm going to end something when i start it. i get stuck a lot but it helps keep things spontaneous when i return. it's almost as if the story reveals itself to me as i create it. there are moments where i think i've written myself into a corner but...that's kinda impossible to do 'cause i'm the one making stuff up. i like to believe that you can do whatever you want with comics. even if it's something that seems weird or doesn't make any sense...it's my world and i can do what i want. am i making any sense?
at the moment i'm starting to put together some ideas for a story with an actual ending but i'm trying very hard to stay away from anything too heavy. and it's gotten easier and easier to think of ways to work in plot developments (sometimes it happens by accident) as i've worked on this project. uhm...yeah. i hope that all helps.
here's the cover!

pick it up at your local comic shop, adhouse, amazon or me me me. i'll draw you a picture, too!
thanks for the support y'all!
Rad.
We <3 you rama. Don't be a dick and never come here.
Pretty rad. Is it better for you if we buy it directly, or through one of those sites?
Rama draws you a picture when you buy it from him. The other sites DON'T.
That's better for me, I want to know what's better for him.
directly is cool! but i guess it's whatever is most convenient for you as well. like if you can get it at a local shop as opposed to waiting for shipping.
How much to ship me one here in jap land rama?
I've seen the first remake and special at my local shop. Good times.
MAIL MAN WOMAN BROUGHT ME PRESENTS TODAY!

ha ha, alex kid's mouth is full of something but he didn't take a bite yet!
It is full of boyish excitement! I dig your stuff a lot man. Hearing that Chux saw your stuff in his local comic shop must be the most gratifying thing ever. Keep it up man.
I had a dream that my copy of Remake came in the mail today!
Did it???
