24 Hour Comic Day 2012

Another 24 Hour Comic Day has come and gone and yet again I realize I have no idea what the word simple means. Unfortunately I couldn't finish and was only able to pencil and semi ink 12 of the 24 pages. Take a look after the jump!

Character designs for the comic.

I started out wanting to do a noir story, then have an hour in I realized it would be way to complicated. So I switched to a story that would be "simpler"(technically it was!).  What I stuck with was a homage to one of my favorite film noirs ever, The Set-Up from 1949 starring Robert Ryan, but in modern day using videogame competition. I'm really happy with the story. Enjoy the first 12 pages of my videogame noir comic, The Big Grief:

The one good thing is that this is a perfect teaser for when I finish and rerelease it on my noir comic site Dime-Store Noir! So look for that soon.

Ok, I'm going to go pass out now.
