Feast your eyes upon this Bio-Fey-Steampunk story with inherent elements of the Gothic Genre drawn in a Theater Noir style about life, death, dreams, reality, and why you don't associate with Undead Cabbages.
This comic contains violence, gore, nudity, and controversial topics such as drugs, sex, religion, and the aerodynamics of a human kidney. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

I know it's a bad practice for a webcomic artist to complain about his work, but HOLY SHIT did this page take forever.
Guys, please love this page. Please. I realize now that this comic is probably never going to be a 'hit', which means that I'm making this thing almost entirely for the enjoyment of others. Sometimes you've just got to know that those others are enjoying it.
So I guess what I'm saying is: life's been a little on the fail side recently, and a pick-me-up would be nice right about now. Normally I want you guys to point out what I've done wrog so I can do it better next time. This week though...eh...sorry. So...not to fish for comments for anything but...a little love guys?...a little love?
I loved it even before the fishing.

Metal Gear Chell using portals! 47tos! Chun-Li Prime! Pyramid Freeman with his giant crow bar! Some seriously funny characters there!

D'aawww, thanks Raga. I'm glad you like it :)

Ditto - and besides, your comment about it "not being a hit" isn't accurate.
This is the 1st one out of a big bunch that I check for - I love the ideas and the artwork. Don't ... please don't .... stop.
Possibly more of the doll and her cabbage ripping things apart ... but that's just me :-)

Enjoyed the whole thing from the beginning on. Not only this special page.
Gregori...

I like Gregori, any reverse-stereotypical naming makes me giggle. Just like Sweetums, have you met Sweetums? Google Sweetums and your day will be made.
Seriously though, please make sure that you yourself still like what you're doing. Being loyal to your readers is fine, but not at the cost of your own enjoyment.
props

Hey dude, I don't play video games so the characters are lost on me but I do check this comic out every week and really love your art style and the story. Keep up the great work and sorry if you're feeling low.
Fear the evil machinations of... CROSSOVER FANFICTION!

How you decided to draw a combination of Pyramid Head and Freeman is beyond me. It's hilarious, actually.
4ork Warlord probably never has a dull moment.
Love the comic, man. Haven't commented as much recently, but I read every Monday.

Nick, I lived with you for two years and it brings me no small measure of joy to see you doing this comic. It continues to blow expectations away (a rather large feat since we've discussed the plot at length) keep up the good work man.
P.S. for the readers, Nick has Twitter but doesn't use it much...
Commence following @Professor_Zoo and we'll see if that sets a fire under his ass

It seems like no matter what universe or permutation he arises in...
.....Pyramid Head is ALWAYS a B.A.M.F.
No exceptions.
Good stuff, Nicholas.

Your comic was always my favorite (I read many webcomics, every comic from snafu comics as an example), I love all this steam punk goth art style... And this page, well itīs absultely awesome... It took me some time to notice every detail and understand the names... I did even notice some more details after returning here another time... (Expecting a new page... LOL)
Please, donīt stop... It may be truth that your webcomicīs public is not that big as it calls the attention of some underground cultures instead of the common joe, but even though the common joe doesnīt like goth art, it doesnīt mean you canīt reach for the attention of most goths, punks and such... It may take more time than comics that are good for "everyone" but I really believe this comic has the potential to be the "hit"...
Hope our comments (mine and from the other readers) help you understand how loved is your art...
P.S: Sorry for the bad english, not my native language...
Yeah...

I don't post a lot and when I do, it's usually just to be sarcastic. On the other hand, I am loving this comic. It's pretty different from some of the other stuff I read and both the writing and the art make a nice change.

Holy shit, guys....you all rock.
I can't express enough how much I appreciate the incredible amount of positive feedback here. Sometimes I get into these weird sort of "well fuck, nobody is reading this comic" funks. Thank you for proving, once and for all, that I'm totally wrong to think so.
I'm going to keep on trying to make this comic as good as it can be. My only hope is that future comics can meet expectations.
Just for reference...

I have come to expect that every time I look up this comic on the internet I always ALWAYS leave happy.
OH and as for things you did wrong?
You spelled wrong "wrog" (OH THE IRONY) but thats pretty much all I have to say.
