I became aware of Nick Trujillo through the Strip Search reality show that Penny Arcade has been running.  Nick was my personal favorite to win, so I was surprised to see him eliminated when he was.  Bad days happen to everyone, though.

I have a huge love of comics in general, and so had been looking at the art that all the SS cartoonists had been doing on their websites.  Hugely awesome stuff across the board.  But when Nick was eliminated, I knew immediately I wanted to reach out and do a sort of PA Presents style of comic to help explain our newest game in a humorous fashion.  It's always a challenge to get our message across clearly and concisely, but I also felt like Nick could create a work that would funny and interesting on its own merits.

So here we are!  This is the first of five pages, which will be released periodically leading up to the release of Skyward Collapse later this month.  Enjoy!

I like the sense of humour in there

As much as I love comics, I rarely laugh out loud at them -- it's not remotely needed for my enjoyment.  But "Sup" made me laugh hard.

Nice one! It had me smile hard as well .

That second panel in particular gave me a good laugh.   Particularly the character on the far right;  that's pretty much been my reaction when playing, when I'm watching the AI do something not-so-bright, which is of course quite frequent and often hilarious.


This artist is good, and this is pretty funny.   A good idea for promoting the game. 


I wouldnt mind seeing more of these later on, too, like if you do expansions or something (or even just for the heck of it) or in relation to other, future projects.

I hope to have Nick do more of these on future projects if he has availability, too.

This is really good!    I'd love to see a series for AI War for the new expansion.  Or for anything else, for that matter.
