There Can Be Only One

Yesterday we lost a legend we thought we would never lose. Hell, Sean had a theory that Prince was a Highlander ("Was there any sign of lightening near Paisley Studios? No? Then he's not gone, dammit!").

But as we celebrate the legacy of Prince Rogers Nelson, the group has decided on one thing: That there can only be ONE Purple Rain. ("See? Highlander!") 

So if you don't hear from Future Vandross for a while, no worries. He'll be well taken cared of. We just gotta keep him out of sight for a couple of months and then he can go back to dirtying ya'll Sprites. 

In other news, we're coming back next week! A new comic drops AND we just started up our own Instagram page as well! So make sure to go follow us there for sketches and more! 

Is Episode 7 Out Yet (Four Days Away!)

Sean and Brandon as Stormtroopers

So is Episode 7 out yet? 

It’s officially four days (technically three if you count the Thursday night screenings) until The Force Awakens is finally released so we decided to do a drawing a day of some of the characters getting their cosplay on. First day goes toward the Stormtroopers who completely misread Wayne Gretzky’s “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” mantra. 

Black Nerd Problems x Rise Of Webcomics

Well, we woke up to a surprise today. Apparently Black Nerd Problems decided to us include us in their article about the rise of independent black webcomics! We're honored to be included with the dopeness of As The Crow Flies, Falling Sky, and Ava's Demon. Here's what's they had to say regarding us: 

"If you enjoy the story, it’s an easy and relatively inexpensive way to keep it going. Take the $15 you would have spent on the new un-inclusive Cinderella or questionable casting of Exodus: Gods and Kings and become a patron of a new artist instead. Revolutionary Times creators Brandon Howard and Sean Mack are more likely to need and appreciate your support than Ridley Scott."

efinitely check out the article and our fellow webcomics brethren. And also keep Black Nerd Problems bookmarked because it's an amazing site that's more than needed. 

Society6 UPDATED!

Afternoon, revolutionaries! The Society6 page has been updated! We finally have a print version of "The Unarmed" strip on sale, along with the print of the first "Hollyweird" poster from yesterday as well. And yes, we can also apparently have our arts on shirts now too (only up to 2X though. Yeah, Sean's not happy with that either). So if you're an art enthusiast, go cop some art for us. We'd appreciate it! 

"District 12" (Hunger Games Parody)

A few months back while discussing about the ridiculousness of the casting in Ridley Scott's Exodus, we started talking about the lack of diversity in Hollywood in general. With a few Red Tails exception, people of color have always been typecast as the help, magical negroes, and every other stereotype that can be thought of. And when there are chances for POC to be casted, the roles are completely "white washed." Hell, Katniss (from The Hunger Games) wasn't even originally white. So today marks the first of many parody posters we have planned for (oh please believe we got one in the chamber JUST for Exodus) 

We also have the art up for sale as a print on our Society6 page as well!
