Arcade Alex

It’s up! Alex really came through these last couple chapters. Kaz is lucky to have him for sure! I’ll upload the shaded version of this page shortly. This is the last of the plot for a minute – the next two chapters will be fun and sexy.

Finishing chapter 11 is a big milestone – it’s the halfway point of the comic. Regarding that though, I’m going to need some time away from the comic to rest and work on other things. This has been a difficult year and I’ve been sick a lot, and overall I’m feeling pretty burnt out.

In terms of other things I’m working on, I want to clean up some of the earlier comic pages so I can have physical copies of Arcade Alex at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) if I get accepted for next year, and the deadline to apply is generally in December. I’d also like to finally have my character designs for Shadowplay, the erotic thriller I’ve been working on, completed before the end of the year. The script is already done. I also have an interactive version of something Arcade Alex-related that I hope to share here soon too – there are previews on Patreon if you’re interested in seeing.

So with all that, I’ll likely start working on chapter 12 early next year, tentatively starting it running in February or March. I’ll post updates here once a month so you all will know when physical copies of the early chapters are available (if you’re interested in buying them) and when chapter 12 will be starting.

The back cover will be up in October. It’ll be cute, so definitely circle back for that.

Thanks, as always, for reading and supporting the comic. It means a lot to me and I do love working on Arcade Alex. I’ll see you all soon.

Next post: (Early October) The back cover!

Page transcript:
Alex: The call went well?
Kaz: Yeah… it was good.
Alex: See, I knew it’d turn out alright.
Kaz: Thanks for telling me to call.
It’s still weird with my parents, but not as bad as I expected.
The important thing is Mat’s okay.
He’ll be visiting Starlight City in a few months to see some friends so I’ll see him again then.
Things get so out of proportion in my head… but you ground me.
And fixing my car… that was just… wow.
You already know that was the car that got me out of Ohio.
Figures something bad would happen when I went back…
Feels like everything about my old life was cursed.
For a minute after the accident…
I panicked because it seemed like I would never get back home to Starlight City and you.
Alex: I know it must have been scary in the moment…
But you couldn’t stay away from here if you tried.
I would always come rescue you.
(Chapter 11 End.)
