20.10.25: It’s been a while, and I have a couple of things to update you on.
- APOC isn’t dead yet, but it’s still very much on hiatus.
- I’ve updated the front page, but the other pages such as cast, extras, etc might be outdated for a while.
- I plan to get a working RSS feeder on the site in the future.
- I’ve been writing APOC in my spare time and even working on some pages!
- I’ll be hiring an assitant writer to help get the story in a finished state so when the time comes to get through pages, there won’t be much stopping me (outside of normal work)!
- I have no timeline, I’m sorry. This used to be the thing I hoped would become my full-time job, and it didn’t. It’s been relegated to the back, but never forgotten.
- My patreon is slowly shutting down, so the best way to support this comic is to buy the physical copies, and follow me on instagram!
I’ll be back one day!
===========
That’s a wrap on Chapter 8!
Thing is, with APOC I’m in a bit of a bind. I want to change the way I work on this, but it means going on hiatus for a while. The long and short of it is, APOC isn’t making me income like my other artwork is, and I can’t afford to spend as much time on it like I used to. I don’t want to lay it to rest (I don’t think I ever have), but I need to pause.
I’m thinking about sketching out the rest of Volume 1, which is 4-5 more chapters. Seeing everything in front of me and working on the story as a larger element, rather than just chapter to chapter (or even page to page), I think will do it a service in the long run. I’ve always said I’m a better artist than I am a writer – making some time to work on that would do APOC good.
Either way, I hope you liked this one – I’ll see you again with more APOC in the future!

I am a big fan and advocate of planning and sketching out things in advance as a method of comic making, so if that helps you stay happy and healthy (work load wise) I say it will always be worth the wait. Hope everything goes smoothly for you in the meantime Spikings!!!
Thank you! I used to get a lot of pages sketched in advance years ago, but the routine slowly fell away as other things in life got busy. Hoping to have a big update next time I post here <3
Excellent chapter. Please take all the time you need going forward.
hay just to let you know the comic navigation buttons have lost their images – been replaced with imgdb.com image not found tiles
they still work – they just dont look right
Thank you for the heads up, they should be fixed now!
Ah, it’s been over a year now. Is this comic dead?
It’s on a hiatus! I do intend to finish this, and have been doing some background work on it over the last few weeks.
As a self-employed artist, I’ve had to turn my priority to gigs that help us stay afloat, which take up all my time at the moment. I’m hoping that will change in the future!
