Alpha Flag

I don’t know how many of you fancy pantses have iPads, but you can read the first couple of chapters of Alpha Flag on the Emanata app, if you are so inclined. Both the app and the pages are free, so if you’re looking for a portal to indie comics, this app apparently provides. I can’t check, because I don’t have an iPad. I do have screenshots, though, and it looks rather fancy!

You can get it here:

And this is what it looks like:

Failing that, you can download digital copies of the first two chapters in the store, paying however much you want–even if you want to pay zero. Once we’ve got a few edits of the third and fourth chapters done, they’ll show up on both places too!

Today’s the start of the third issue of Alpha Flag–the first chapter of it will be Echo. The seagull is dead, but namesake lives on in this chapter! Looks like we get to see more of Kilo and the mysterious guy who was watching the guys on the beach last chapter. Who is he? What does he want? I can’t promise I’ll ever answer these questions. I might, but I can’t promise.

Also, you guys are doing so well with the first pin puzzle. 11 of the pins have been claimed so far, which means there are 9 still available (alternatively, using the countdown image, there are still available). Congratulations to those of you who have figured it out and claimed a pin for yourselves. I packaged these up tonight so I can ship them off tomorrow:

Each pin comes with a serial number–your serial number as an Alpha Fan–hand written onto the fan card with the date you earned the pin below it.

For those who gave up on puzzle, there are still about 80 more that will be made available in the coming months–once I figure out how to award them in ways that play to everyone’s different strengths.

As usual, thanks for reading and participating. Renee and I really appreciate it!

if you guys see a line that reads “Cypher 2” it should say “Cipher 1” so treat it as such and it’ll treat you right. This only affects the first instance. Sorry if that’s been tripping any of you up, I’ll correct it when I get home tonight. Thanks for your patience.

It’s all fixed, I hope!
