And thus ends Act 3...

The first issue that makes up the continuing saga of Sardam has come to a close. The heroes have been introduced, they solved a major world crisis, and we even learned the background of Sara, the first half of Sardam. I'm not sure when I'll make the second issue, or how long it'll take me to scan and fix up the first issue, but overall I'm fairly pleased with how this comic came out. It's very... "us" to say the least, and that's the point. To make obscure references for Sara and I to enjoy, and have a shit ton of laughs. I do believe I managed to make it accessible to others, though, since most people at my school seem to want to read every new page while I was drawing them.

Anyway, this act was basically about Sardam overcoming their first major challenge, the Starvation Squad. Which, after beating, just happened to solve the problem that is world hunger. If I had the 23 pages I originally believed I was going to have I would have expanded upon the fight with Burger, and the finale in which God reveals all of what happened due to the fall of the Starvation Squad. Though I think I'll let the second issue cover that.

Not really much else to say about this last arc, other than I'm really happy with it, and the two preceding arcs, though the first couple of pages are a bit TOO raw for my tastes.

For now, I'll be brainstorming what the next issue will be about, I already have Sara's next ICP reference in mind...

And thus ends Act 2...

These next three pages make up the second arc of the first issue. It's basically just the bridge between the main two acts, and that's obvious, from both it's short length and the overall boring nature of the three pages.

Page 7 is slightly inappropriate, and I apologize for that, but I was forced to add in the "dick phazer" as per requested by my friend Sara. It's a reference to an ICP song, and that will continue to be a recurring trait in Sara. This page is really text heavy and is mainly there to advance the plot. Fairly boring.

Page 8 was another of my favorite pages thus far. It has pretty good background detail and I just really like how the homeless guy looks in the last panel. This page features the second of my spelling fuck ups, however I was able to save it. I forgot the A is starvation originally, but I had enough room to add it in later as a smaller letter, so I followed suit with the I so that it didn't look too unnatural...



Page 9 is one of the most epic things I've ever drawn in my opinion. I go off in order to destroy the Rod of Starvation for Sara, while she has a slightly tender moment with the starved remains of Gary.

The next page is an introduction to the next set of villains. The Starvation Squad.

Hope you like it.
