A story retold: The Love We Live -Volume 0

So...last night I went through my image folders to do a review of all of the comics I've done. The ones I've released, the ones I've scrapped and all point between. This naturally brought me to the my 1st venture into comic making...Empire City Stories: Betrayal, which as of volume 10 will be renamed "The Love We Live". Well, going over ECS:B volumes 1-3 I came to the conclusion that well...THEY FUCKING SUCK. Chock full of typos and way too short. I admit, I rushed and was sloppy when I made them. So I've made an executive decision that I'm going to go back in time and redo the 1st 3 chapters of Henry & Bianca's story. The basic concept of story will still be the same, but I'm going to expand it all into 1 entry instead of 3, effectively titling it "TLWL: Volume 0". Now of course this will require me to recreate the retro looks of the main characters as so they "flow" into ECS:B vol. 4 and above, but that's not really much of a problem.

The reason I'm doing this because there's just too many inconsistencies with where I started with the story until now. Plus, I want to put more emphasis in establishing just exactly how Henry found out about Christine and Luke's betrayal. I also want to establish a few details with Henry, Bianca, Rory and Jaeleen I didn't do so the 1st time around because the original volumes were so damned short. So yea, I'm retelling the tale of how Hank & Bianca met...and how Rory & Jaeleen reunited, and everything from ECS:B Vol.4 and above will remain canon. As such, I've removed ECS:B volumes 1 - 3 from the forum...cuz they're obsolete as of the conception of this retcon of sorts.

I think it's a great idea. Revising the way things started to seamlessly tie into where things are now.

Just seems like the best thing to do. Like I said, going back and looking at volumes 1 & 2 specifically they're poorly executed. Knowing what I know now as opposed to back in 2020 when I started making these comics...I owe it to myself and the readers to tell how the story started better. As I said, the overall gist of it is gonna be unchanged...I'm just adding more elements to it.

I admire your perseverance, I really do.
I also reread a few years later some comics I did about 5-8 years ago. And I often think, too, that they could have been done better.

Though I also find it interesting to tie those things to the time when they were made, sometimes I've found some good solutions that I wouldn't have gotten to with current better technology  (hook5 and so on).

I always think it would be great to have the ability to read your comics with a cbr. reader or similar. The experience would be more immersive.

I mean, "full screen" a boards is like "hold" a comic in your hands...

I'll be including cbr versions for all of my comics going forward via MEGA, and also going back to update my older entries with with cbr versions. My last 2 releases have cbr mirror downloads. We're working on trying to integrate cbr into the forum, but the guy who wrote the app we're looking at using hasn't responded back to us yet.
