Hi all,

With all of the recent events going on, I have come to the realization that my comic is hitting a bit too close to home for some folks, especially with the political references. In the nine years that I’ve been drawing art and comics in this community, I have never seen such a level of angst among my artist friends. Unfortunately, this looks set to intensify. That has led me to sit down and really think about the subject matter and the future of my comic.

For many of the private conversations I’ve had with folks, it seems to be an even split. Some folks love the satire – other folks absolutely hate it because the satire hits way too close to home and comes across as a dark reminder of current events. The South Park formula isn’t for everyone and I realize that.

One consistent thing I have been hearing is that each day, the news feeds continually get more grim with one dark revelation after another. This led me to this question. When there is darkness, what do people seek?

They seek the light.

I’m considering a change in direction for the comic. Once I post up the last two weeks worth of panels for my proof of concept issue, the plan is to change the web-comic formula a bit from a story line based comic to a slice of life approach where I’ll focus on humor, fun characters and the bizarre things that our cigar smoking, former superhero with a hangover runs into everyday. I really want the comic to be something that readers enjoy.

For the print run comic series itself, I’d like to concentrate on my cold war origin story instead. There’s a lot more humor involved and its a fun, exciting, fresh story. I even have a script set aside.

I welcome anyone to chime in with ideas about what you think of the comic and where you would like to see it go. You can view the webcomic at www.captainfreeagle.com

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your feedback!
