Creepy.
The art also somehow really captures that horrible grogginess that comes with waking from a nightmare in a strange place (or even a familiar place that’s suddenly alien). Groping your way into half-awareness…. I’ve woken up before thinking that there were insects or scorpions in the bed, utterly convinced that I’d seen them & felt them, until enough time passed that I could think clearly again and realize it wasn’t true.
I’ve started sleepwalking recently, for the first time in my life… it’s very disquieting to claw my way from the disintegrating dream to find that reality has changed while I was gone.
Any chance this comic will print one day ?
I’ve never considered buying online comics, but if this comic was printed I would buy a copy as it’s just so good.
I’ve mentioned it before in the comments on previous pages, I definitely will be printing a book when it’s all finished. I’ve had some offers from publishers and if even I don’t go with them I’ll end up doing it on my own. The down side is that at the rate of one page a week (sometimes less – eep) it’ll take a while…
I’ve been following this since I read of the TX debut at Warren Ellis’s ENGINE (I believe, though it could have been Rantz’s follow up @ Panel ‘n Pixel). I just wanted to add my voice to say that I love this comic. From the opening scenes it’s been nothing but twists and turns with wondefully emotive art. This installment is no exception. Those final 3 panels really evoke a sense of terror from that eerie sound effect (we’ve all heard that scratching noise in our walls late at night) to the close up and the monster.
I had once hoped to spotlight this in a column I contributed for the Pulse, but that has gone to the great online archive for now and I am focusing more on my creative writing now. But if I ever get back to showcasing some of the great indy/web comics being produced, I would love to “speak” with you about it.
Anyway. Great stuff. I look forward to adding this to my shelf once it is finished.
Somebody mentioned your comic on a comic art forum and I looked it up since I was a fan of your art in The Manhattan Gaurdian. I’ve read it up to here and plan on catching up. I love it. I agree with what some others had said about the other TX comics; while good they are no where near as intriguing as this one.
About this page: It’s crazy how you’ve associated the paper tearing with that creepy monster thing. It’s just a neat little element that adds to the whole mood.
Came here just now from “The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal,” reading it all in one go despite the time being after 2 AM…
OH GOD, THE LAST PANEL.
I’ve been hooked on the archive since I started reading an hour or so ago, and I’ve jumped here and there to be sure, but I actually cannot handle looking at that last panel right now for more than a second or two. Reminds me somewhat of some of the unexpected demon shots in “Wapsi Square” being just too… INTENSE to look at for more than a flash, but your incredible grip on suspense makes this all the more impossible to handle. Amazing amazing amazing work… I just can’t look at that last panel right now at 2:15 AM, no hyperbole.

June 28th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Wow…that is amazingly creepy. NOW how am I going to get to sleep!

Hi Francois,
I’ve mentioned it before in the comments on previous pages, I definitely will be printing a book when it’s all finished. I’ve had some offers from publishers and if even I don’t go with them I’ll end up doing it on my own. The down side is that at the rate of one page a week (sometimes less – eep) it’ll take a while…
Thanks for the comments, glad you’re enjoying it!

Very Twin Peaksy.
Nice job.
June 29th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Do you think it’ll be able to buy it on internett? ‘Cause i’m from norway, and maby the comic isn’t selling in comic store up here.
June 29th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Geeeeh. That was very effectively creepy. I haven’t felt that way reading a comic in awhile.

UGH!! Terrifying!!

Panels 6 and 8: Foot or boner?
YOU decide!
…
This is a cool and creepy twist in the story, and I think I’ve ruined it for myself.

So I hope you’re happy.
I just had to turn on every light in the house and close the blinds.

Been a lurker but this strip made me comment. I just want you to know I got goosebumps just seeing the sixth panel. You’re great.
