Web Manga Launched

Aug 24, 2009 08:02

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. I've actually been pretty busy with work, life and my latest project; an alternative history webmanga. I decided to put to pen a story idea I've been throwing around for a while, namely aliens against humans during World War 2 using retro mecha. Yes, I've read one too many Harry Turtledove novels, but I wanted to give it a try.

The universe itself is not just alternative due to aliens, I decided to pursue the idea that the American Civil War triggered a wave of global self determination, in part an aftermath of the liberal movements of 1848, then followed by socialist movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I had a lot of fun basically decomposing a number of countries, including the Axis (Germany, Italy and Japan) countries and the United States.

I was lucky to pair up with the artist Lonewolf, who was interested in the same subject matter. I guess you might say the overall project was triggered by a desire to see a more "serious" Strike Witches.

Anyway, today is the big launch. If you have some time, please check it out at:
