Thanks Proudhuff  :)

I've now remembered how to update the website, and managed to add the new comic to the shop page. You can see if I did it properly by clicking http://www.massacreforboys.co.uk/

COMMANDO FORCES

I'm taking mine to work tonight and so long as I don't just sleep during every break I shall make a start on this. I flicked through and it looks quite good fun!

Bolt-01

Read my copy last night and really enjoyed it. I'm ashamed of my strip (apart from 1 page) but the rest of the comic more than made up for it. The cover in particular really looks so much better in the flesh.

Heartily recommended.

locustsofdeath!

I've said it before, but what the heck, I'll say it again - that cover is a tremendous piece of art. Every time I see it, I can't help but gawk. Fantastic, that alone ought to see this issue.

Given the hearty endorsments above, and the fact I've sold some stuff on ebay, My order is now in!!

Thanks Bolt and for the record I love the job you've done on that story, exactly right, imho, and my favourite page is #5!

I agree, I think it's Steve's best cover to date.

Indeed, thank you very much and may I complement you on your excellent choices!

I'll get them out to you ASAP.

This looks great, I'll have to bunker down for one. Any chance of a second issue coming?

Every chance, and an official announcement will be coming within days.

Review on FBI. It's a pretty good review with fairly positive comments and I can't argue with anything that's been said (not that I would, a reviewers opinion is something to think about not to contest) as an editor I will attempt to learn from this and do better next time!

Bolt-01

Hmm, that's all fair- especially as regards my work. I really struggled with most of this and it obviously showed. However, page 5 really is a class page and something I'm proud of.

I'm thumbnailing the next installment now- so I shall try to up my game for this episode.

Another review.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the next Crusader story. He is still I think our oldest standing character (Chris and I came up with him in 1988)
