While I’m gratified by the reception THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS has been receiving since it’s release, and very encouraged by the enthusiasm KEN PENDERS’S KNUCKLES OMNIBUS VOLUME ONE has received since I announced the project, there’s still a lot to get done on both before they become a reality.
Currently, I’m working with Patrick, my app programmer, organizing what remains to be done in getting THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES APP completed and released.
At this time, I’m working on completing the art on the pages I took short cuts on so I could get my book THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS to the printers in time for me to have something to release at this past Comic-Con. I’m also working on elements of the text that need to be updated and/or corrected.
Beyond the work that needs to be done, there’s new material that’s going to be included with the app release. That new material includes at least 5 additional pages of the SHATTERED TOMORROWS storyline as well as an additional character added to the Data Files beyond the 6 characters already featured in BEGINNINGS. And I haven’t even mentioned updating the SPECIAL THANKS section or the Art Gallery section.
While all this is getting done, I’m supervising the recoloring of the Knuckles story pages for the KNUCKLES OMNIBUS as well as designing and illustrating Cover B that most people will receive with the copy they order.
In case people haven’t gotten the memo, the cover art shown above is a prototype for the Variant cover for the KNUCKLES OMNIBUS that only the first 100 buyers will receive. In order to be fair to everyone, only those who have purchased a copy of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS will receive an emailed notice alerting them when the pre-orders will begin. Only those with a confirmed email address on my end will have their orders accepted.
Those of you who haven’t yet ordered your copy of BEGINNINGS should do so if you wish to qualify for inclusion to the Variant cover offer. As with everything else, this is a first come-first served deal.
I’ll have further updates as events develop. As usual, feel free to email me with your questions and/or concerns. Thanks for taking the time to check this out and take care.
Really excited to see how the Knuckles Omnibus comes together! Your work on Knuckles has always been my favorite part of the old comics and I’m so glad people will get to experience them through the Omnibus release!
Thanks for the update! I appreciate all the hard work you and Patrick are doing to make the app a reality, I’m so excited to experience it for myself! I’ll definitely be buying each chapter of Shattered Tomorrows as they come out, as well as the collected volumes as they become available. 🙂
I continue to look forward to any future updates on the app and the Knuckles Omnibus! Thank you for your consideration on the Variant cover offer, also – it’s much appreciated.
The cover looks great for Knuckles ominous. Knuckles ominibus is a collection
Of the Knuckles comics you listed not new comic stories? I just wanted to check, as I’m not always sure I understood, what I read.
If I’ve got it right.
The KNUCKLES OMNIBUS collects all the Knuckles stories in sequential order up to a certain point. Whatever isn’t featured in the first volume will continue into the second, and possibly third and maybe even a fourth volume. It all depends on the page count. I’ll post more details once they’re figured out.
Hey Ken just wanted to let you know. The Lara-Su Chronicles is better than I expected and can’t wait to see where you take the story going forward. I’m also looking forward to the Knuckles Omnibus. As always hope you have a good day.
The vote of confidence is much appreciated, Damien. If people liked what they’ve seen so far with THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES, it only gets better from there. I worked really hard crafting a story that truly develops the world and these characters in a way they haven’t seen before and want to spend time with. Keep checking for updates as the next new material will be premiering when the app is released.
I appreciate you clarifying so then I know I’m on the same page. I am glad I understand now.
It’s a pain struggling reading in general at times even when I like to . It’s nothing to do with you or anyone else. Sometimes words look jumbled and in a confusing meaning less pile.
Even though there is meaning and clarity.
Thanks for your patience. I wish you and Bernie the best.
Thanks for explaining again. It takes things being explained more than once to get it for me.
