At long last, Chapter 1 of my LEGO comic, Galactic Requiem, is finished and uploaded. Seven brand new pages. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Galactic Requiem is a dystopic science fiction comic illustrated entirely with LEGO bricks (pluss a little creative use of Photoshop).

Whereas the Prologue kicked off the action in the outback, Chapter 1, entitled “Forgive them not, for they know what they are doing”, takes us right to the main characters on the most densely populated planet in known space, Trantor, capital of the Fifth Galactic Republic. There, the power-hungry, sometimes petty and partially elected Council scheme and plot and shape the future of the Galaxy...

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Other news: The comic itself has been converted to JPEG format (used to be PNG), cutting download times by as much as 80%. Also, the amount and severity of “foul language” has been greatly reduced. It should now truly be acceptable for all.

Now for some bad news: There will be no more major updates to the comic for nigh upon three months. This summer, I’m going to work in another town (Oslo), putting some 560 km. (350 miles) between myself and my beloved LEGO bricks (and I can’t bring them with me). This doesn’t mean I won’t be working on the comic, it just means that I won’t be able to take any pictures, and thus not make any new pages. I’ll be churning out the script, most likely. In other words: new pages in August, when I’m back home.

Until then, enjoy the rest of the comic.
