OR: ADVENTURES OF M PROLOGUE!!
Obviously, this is a follow-up to The Last Club Vamporama. Go read it and leave some feedback if you haven’t already!!
This strip was done back in January. The original plan was for a two-pager, but I only got the second page half finished, and, ultimately, decided to concentrate on other things, including the proper Adventures of M story—this is, after all, just a teaser.
Given its age and my on-off quest to improve my work, there are things about it I’m no longer very happy with. But it’s OK. Just as I tried to make the previous strip look “somewhat” like the old Vamporama stuff (but hopefully better), with this one I tried to transition it to closer to how I want the “M” stuff to look, but there’s still some connective tissue. Honestly, as and when I debut any future “M” material, I want it to have quite a different feel. And be better.
Stay tuned! Leave feedback!
