Aikonia Guest Comic Week

This past week marked the end of the second chapter of Aikonia and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Our readership has grown substantially over the past months and for that, we are thankful. To celebrate, we had a week of guest comics depicting some hilarious non-canon scenes from around the Institute. We really appreciate the time and effort the guest comic artists put in for us; clearly, their passion and talent for comics shows.

You can find links to their respective websites and deviantArt profiles here:

1. Shelbie P. “KoniraThax” - Delirium

2. Jared Saul - Poor Shark

3. Ranu - Sugar Stars

4. Jared Markley - deviantArt Profile

5. Jake Richmond - Modest Medusa

6. Nick Roger - deviantArt Profile

We hope you enjoyed the guest comics as much as we did and that you’ll stick around until our next guest week (most likely at the end of the third chapter). Until next time, keep your noses clean and your magic under control!

Batman

  • Timothy Hely: So apparently it's a Batman/Ghostbusters day today in webcomics-land? How come nobody told me? :P
  • Andrew-David Jahchan: Damn it. Why isn't our comic ever on the same page as the others? >:(
  • Corina Dransutavicius: I don't know, guys. I think it would be pretty hard to work Batman into the comic. Although...
  • Corina Dransutavicius: Imagine this: A few students are walking down a hallway, chatting amongst themselves. A dark shadowy figure is hanging from the ceiling and watching them pass. We catch a glimpse of vivid pink hair as the figure leaps down in front of the students.
  • Corina Dransutavicius: Student A (shocked) says "Wha-?! Councillor! Where did you come from?"
  • Corina Dransutavicius: Ariel (complete with fish teeth and evil eyes) says "I'M THE GODDAMN BATMAN."
  • Corina Dransutavicius: Ariel then swoops away. Like a bat.
  • Andrew-David Jahchan: AHAHAHAHAHAHA

End of Chapter Two

Whelp. This page marked the end of Aikonia’s second chapter.

It’s been quite a chapter and we’re really happy with the final result. Katie’s done an amazing job with the artwork and it’s clear that she just keeps on getting better!

Of course, we wouldn’t even be this far if it weren’t for all our amazing readers, so thank you all so much for the support!

We’ll be taking the next week off and resume our regular schedule on the 30th of January with the first AND second pages of chapter 3. We will be posting some guest pages by other very talented webcomic artists during our week off to keep you all entertained, so make sure you check back!

Have a great week :)

Just a quick sneak peek :)

korybing: choochoobear: Thunt of the webcomic “Goblins” made me, and several other webcomics, aware of a Facebook app someone created that scrapes our sites’ content, reposts it without our permission, and - the part the really pisses me off - encourages people to donate to our comics via a link/Google Checkout account we’ve not approved or are linked with. See the area in the read circle?  ”Keep the Something Positive app alive.”  We webcartoonists get none of that.  That all goes to the guy who set the app up - apparently someone named Lance Strish.  No link back to the webcomics he’s taken from.  No, “Hey, be sure to support the artists.”  Nothing. This shit happens all the time in Apple’s “We’re Too Busy Counting Money to Have Quality Control” App Store.  Now webcartoonists get to deal with it on Facebook, too. If you enjoy a webcomic - or anything - on the web, please don’t give money to the people who make apps that scrape their content without their permission.  Give it to the actual people who make the stuff you like.  If you see an app and aren’t sure if it’s “official” or not, ask the creator, but honestly, if it WAS official, the creator would have plugged it on their site. A good thing to be aware of.
