Life after death:  over two years since being put on indefinite hiatus (so ominous and important-sounding) Hell’s Corners is back.

Let’s talk about what it was, first — Hell’s Corners was a webcomic that showed up in 2004 and was never intended to be read or followed like a webcomic — it was intended to be read book by book like a conventional print comic (and if you buy some old copies through ComiXpress you can even experience the pain and pleasure of papercuts and cheap stock).  Posting it started as a means to artificially impose deadlines so I’d get it done and to have something to show visitors to my site besides.  Somewhere along the way I rebelled against my pretend deadlines, though, and got even more lax about updating, until finally distraction with other projects, etc., put a seemingly permanent end to the comic in 2007.

Fast-forward to 2009, and the comic now. I got nostalgic, okay?  I had so much time invested in this bastard I got to missing it; one or two of its five original fans would say “Hey how’s it going bitch; why don’t you stop noodling around with that Next Town Over horseshit and get back to Hell’s Corners, which was funnier?!” and I would be like Man. That is harsh because it is true. Then one day I said “Well, I’ll do both. But Hell’s Corners’ art is gonna suffer.”  And so now we’ve got this.  Scribbly.  Back in B/W.  But goddamn if I can’t churn it out faster.

And as ever, Hell’s Corners is not recommended for kids or Christian Conservatives.  Or anyone, really.
