We begin a series of pages from the perspective of our villain, Rupert Saxton, a 5th dimensional being working hard to bump himself up to being a 7+ dimensional being. It won't surprise you to hear I had

I know I usually only do one page at a time once we get to this stage, but I figured that given I have a harder time keeping to a daily posting regiment these days, I ought to give you more. Gotta give

We're at the end of the thumbnails, which means next post I will bump us up to the pencils! We have a lot going on here, Chuck's grief as he looks at Harvey's belongings, Ruth getting in way over her head,

I'm going to give you all four pages to look at today to make up for my slacking off in terms of posting, haha. A fun little discovery we had while doing research for 1920's cars is that it appears as

Harvey is back! We really have no idea why he looks the way he looks, but don't worry, Issue 8 spends a lot of time showing the readers what's been going on inside the Book of Seams ever since Harvey was

People infected with Rot really do find themselves in a pickle when interacting with the Book of Seams, you can't look at it, but you also have to confront it. I'm guessing Rosie has practised shooting

Happy New Years everyone! I think this is the first moment in the comic where we explicitly show that film affects the Rot (Spacetime magic) in a serious way. This is a fun moment because in the first

More time with our foul Weaver, sewer of worlds and himself. These pages will get some touchups in future updates as I wasn't quite happy with how Joseph looked on page 19. I wanted to convey that Rupert

Hello! We have some colors on these pages cause we all kinds of blood and magic going on. You'll note that on page 18 we mention Emily and Celeste, that's because we are officially bringing two new colorists

The tables have turned - briefly! Ezekiel gains the upper hand in this battle of the wits, and then proceeds to overplay his hand by antagonizing an unstable WW1 vet/cop. This page spontaneously introduced

Our psychological interrogation continues! This scene really was gripping to me as I wrote it because the power dynamic shifts and flows so quickly. Chuck is a cop and Ezekiel is an arrested cultist strapped

This scene was really exhilarating for me to write, and also allowed me to grind one of my narrative axes! I do not enjoy the action movie torture scene. Obviously, I have moral objections to torture,

Here is a teamup that I didn't initially expect, Lt. Chuck Smith and Ruth Addler! It never occured to me, because prior to issue 4 I never even considered that Harvey would die. I've talked a lot with

At long last we return to one of my favorite characters, Ruth Addler! She rose to prominence as a favorite of mine in the early issues as being kind of the bridge between Margaret and Hazel's personalities.

While I think we do a good job escalating the various layers of horror in Ithaqa over the course of the entire series, we do make a huge leap on the creature and body horror in Issue 6. Rupert is creating

The tone of the comic begins to evolve again in Issue 6, and I think these two pages make that shift pretty obvious. The series started off with art deco and noir inspirations, moved into Lovecraftian

Hello, all! We're back! What a busy Fall it has been. Not only am i still working through fulfilling all those Kickstarter orders, but we're working on Issue 6, pitching to publishers, and most significant

I thought I posted this yesterday! Very sorry for the delay. The physical print copies ought to be arriving tomorrow. Read Issue 1 as a webcomic: Buy the comic (with crypto) Buy the comic (Physical and

This piece of Ithaqa fanart from fellow Hiver, @bryan-imhoff is actually making its way into the physical and digital print runs of Ithaqa comic! It was commissioned years ago when I ran a fundraiser on

Hello, all! It's been awhile. It turns out that moving and unpacking is very stressful and consumes all the time in the world, haha. Don't worry, haven't forgotten about you guys, so here is another page!
