Annie in the Forest Debut

[ReubenPatrick]

So what are your thoughts regarding this?

Well I'm pretty hyped. First on board of the hype train 'Nuff said
Also when did you notice that the banner changed for Annie in the Forest London Comic Con notice?

[goldenknots]

I reloaded the page, it wasn't there until I did, as far as I could see.

Hope it's possible to get it without attending the con, that's rather a long way from Florida.

[ReubenPatrick]

Atleast it's closer there than here in the Philippines. A comic-con is rare thing to see here in the Philippines, comic books are seen as more of a luxury and when there are such conventions here it's mostly anime stuff Nothing wrong with that but still

[Morpheus]

I am absolutely certain that there will be a way to get it without going to con, most likely the same way as the wallpapers we've gotten when donating.

And I'm super pumped to see what Annie has been up to during her time in the Forest. I bet she's been up to some crazy shenanigans with Kamlen. I wonder how much she's had to do with Coyote and ol' Ys in there too. (I feel like we might have been told this already, in which case I'll feel slightly stupid.)

[Georgie L]

Yeah most things he only had at cons (barring private commisions) he has released as donation bonuses (and if you want to be an asshole you can donate as little as 0.10p, but I've always donated reasonable amounts.)

Yes, that may present a problem but let's just hope for the best.

What I'm more interested in is Annie and Kamlen because Chapter 38: Divine was really hard to interpret.

I didn't know if it was Kat's imagination revealing some of her insecurities or Annie's actual dreams or thoughts or sumthing...

From Tom's Tumblr:

My final copies of Annie in the Forest arrived! This is a 32 page mini-comic set between chapters 31 and 32, when Annie ran away from the Court and spent the summer in the forest.

I’ve been wanting to make extra comics for a long time now, and I’m happy that they came out so great! Along with Part 2, I’ll also be doing other comics based on Gunnerkrigg Court characters and stories that don’t really fit into the main story line and I hope to eventually collect them all into a volume that I print myself, hopefully with the help of Kickstarter. That’s all in the future though, but in the meantime, I’ll have these copies of Annie in the forest Part 1 this month at the MCM convention in London where they will be exclusively available!

But don’t worry, after that I’ll be putting the comic on-line for everyone to read in a separate section of my site and I also hope to get copies sent over to Topatoco for people who want to buy the individual issues.

I hope you all enjoy it!

One day I will buy everything Mr.Siddell. One day...

Tom's missing a portion of the market.

I'd love to buy this... as an ebook. Not as paper.

Well since you can get it online and Tom places no restrictions on saving images, it would only take a several minutes and a few clicks to make your own.

Or just throw it in a folder and leaf through it in gallery mode.

I kinda like to do that. I save every memorable and funny page and right about now... I have about 300+ images. It's just that good

[snipertom]

I am remembering that I do need to order Materia. And I'll almost certainly get this one

[marceline]

Aaah I'm buying this next weekend when he's at London Expo! Super excited. c:

It would seem /co/ failed to deliver, so has anyone got a copy and wants to give us non-UK'ers a peek?

Tom promised to put it online, so we could just wait.

[GK Sierra]

Hmm.

[download]

I'm not very good a this waiting thing

[snipertom]

I assumed Tom was waiting to sell some copies before putting it online, but can't buy it either!

Me neither.

There's this other webcomic I'm quite fond of. It just recently updated again for the first time in one and a half years.

Good things come to those who wait.

Haha, really? What was it called? I think I might be able to top that, though.

Here's an awesome webcomic that stopped midstream and never resumed. It's been dead for over half a decade.

Goddammit McGibs... finish what you start.

[snipertom]

then of course there's "hanna is not a boy's name" which was great, and then just stopped updating and the creator never said why! leading to all kinds of conspiracy theories about her, her publisher, etc.

fortunately she has re-emerged and is doing a collaboration with ananth panagiriya who does johnny wander among other things

That would be Angels 2200. Not the very best artwork, but the story is very intrigueing and I really want to know how it ends! It's update schedule was already really sketchy for a year or so before that, mind you.

There's tons of unfinished and aborted webcomics out there, many of which had great potential. Alpha Shade went out of order one and a half year ago (which is a real shame), Shadowgirls a bit over two years ago, heck, Desert Rocks stopped without another word about 8 years ago. The point is though that there are some people who will not stand you up. Just like the author of Angels 2200, when he promised that he absolutely wanted to finish the story, back then when he hit a rough patch of real life and was forced into a hiatus.

If Tom says he'll make Annie in the Forest available to everyone, I for my part have no problem waiting a couple of weeks or maybe even months, because I know it'll eventually happen. Other than with many of those other great comics where nothing ever happens.

YAAAAAAAAY!

AUUUUUUUUGH! But . . . but she needs to get back to Hanna!

[warrl]

I'm pretty sure there are more webcomics that either just stopped, or went on indefinite hiatus (including "I'll get back to you in a few months" - a couple years ago), than there are webcomics that either properly ended or are still active.
