As others have said, please don't kill yourself over the comic; we've been here for years waiting patiently, we can wait a little longer. :)

I'm with sunphoenix on this. We all have lives and jobs to do, and we can afford to wait for a bit longer. Do what you need to, sir. :)

Considering the long delay, the artstyle may have changed by now. Usually these changes are improvements but sometimes characters change appearance so much that they are not recognized anymore. Normally such changes are gradually those so readers do not notice until they look at some years old issue. Well time will tell, if Outsider suddenly have become black and white, then we will have to deal with it.

sweforce: this is not the first long 'delay' in this story, can you see any major differences in the comic as it progresses?

Not so far and that is good since I like the style. Still if Arioch should fancy a change, then it it his call. The current style are very advanced and as such slow to produce, he may feel forced to use a simplified style if he find himself over his head in work. Let's just hope for the best.

The art is amazing and the story gripping.
Think Arioch will ever do a print run?

hi hi

Regular updates are important when someone is trying to make a living off of a webcomic, and regular work is important for keeping one's skills in shape. It is my understanding though, that Arioch is plenty busy with the work he's making a living off of.

I am torn here...

On one hand I worry that Arioch may take posting the comic too seriously.

On the other I look at the calendar and I wonder if the next page will be posted tomorrow along with an update by Arioch's gf about Arioch's mental breakdown in order to finish the page and how he has to cut all ties with it in order to go on living normally.

He should let it take the time it needs to take. Meanwhile we could make our own fanstuff, like dragoongfa's "Looking forward to the Mirror".

I swear, if this is a pre planned April fool's joke I will rage clap. Arioch hasn't been on since the 27th of March and I am beginning to worry a little.

Come to think of it we haven't heard anything or seen a forum post recently. Has anyone (can anyone?) check up on Arioch to make sure he's OK?
Arioch? Are you OK over there friend? I think we're all a little worried that your OK out there. Stay healthy friend.

As noted before, please take all the time you need with the comic; everyone around here seems content with the forums and we're a patient bunch.
