Page 204 to be Redone

Posted In: Site News

I got a lot of helpful feedback from you guys regarding the “reveal” of Jen’s younger form in this week’s page. I had hoped for a dramatic realization, but clearly my art style isn’t properly conveying the alterations to Jen’s form. The visual evidence in the page (bigger eyes, baggy clothing) isn’t explicitly obvious and it hurts the intended reaction.

I’ve decided to rework the page. Instead of a dramatic “cliffhanger” on the reveal panel, I’m adding extra panels (which were going to be on page 205) which have dialogue that clearly states what’s going on. You’ll see Jen NEXT TO Cass, Morty and Katsuko, which ought to help show her changes much more effectively.

The redone page will be the “new” page that will go on-line next Monday.

Thank you, as always, for your feedback. It helps me see the big picture when I get tunnel vision, and it ultimately makes the comic better for everyone!

Midnight Rescue on Archive.org

Morty, UTC’s first (and best) antagonist was named after the villain from my favorite computer game as a kid, “Midnight Rescue: A Super Solvers Reading Adventure”. I even directly referenced the game in the title to page XXIII.

In the game, Morty Maxwell, the Master of Mischief, threatens to make his old school disappear at midnight USING ROBOTS AND INVISIBLE PAINT and the only thing that can stop him is your trusty 35mm camera and READING COMPREHENSION.

It’s a great little game, and thanks to Archive.org you can play it right now for free. Unfortunately you can’t save your score and reach the 500,000 Champion ranking like I did on my Tandy 1000, but hey, the real fun comes from peeking at Morty’s creepy diary entries and FIGHTING PAINTBRUSH ROBOTS WITH A CAMERA.

Launch!

Welcome to the brand new home of Urgent Transformation Crisis! I’m proud to introduce this exciting new chapter in UTC’s history. The comic got started on Catomix.com way back in 2007 before I set up the ComicGenesis website, and that site remained without a significant facelift for a very long time.

But no longer! Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battlest–

Um, now witness the user-friendly interface and wide range of accessibility features of this fully coded and operational webcomic!
