“Strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine! Oh, screw it. I’ll just kick your ass now.”

Starting tonight (January 8) at midnight PST through Sunday, you can download the Kindle version of Artifice for free over at Amazon. If you haven’t gotten yourself a Kindle copy of the full graphic novel with all its special features, now’s the time. 🙂 Also, like I said last week, somehow all the information from the last five years for which reviews are “Helpful” got deleted (so currently there is a very odd review in the Top Review slot from someone who doesn’t like comic books and says Artifice is homophobic and ultimately about sex.) If it’s not too much trouble and you have a little time, please click Helpful on those reviews that you think would really help guide new readers who would like the story to this book.

Over on the Patreon page, the dust has settled from the credit cards being charged and we are now back over $6,200 at $6,209/month.This means we’re now $791/month away from me breaking even again, and just $291 away from unlocking the sexy and fully nude pin-up of Kyle and Anaado by Travis Moore!

And of course, this comic wouldn’t be here at all if it weren’t for the continual support of our our amazing Patrons who are currently supporting. So, it’s my great pleasure to send out a very special Patreon anniversary thank you to those who have been my Patrons for 12 months or more as of this week (Jan 6 – 12)!

Thank you all so, so much for your amazing, ongoing support! It’s the consistent support that makes Patreon so helpful to creators, and is so essential to my ability to continue making this comic! You all are superheroes!

So! Spooky ain’t taking no crap from no mother-frickin’ Hell Kings. And now he’s put Velliok on notice that his demon days are numbered. Is Spooky going to beat on Velliok some more? Or just drop the mic and go?

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

Stab?

Oh no. I have a terrible feeling Velliok was being as horrible as possible to get this exact reaction. Anger Spooky enough that he will storm hell to destroy the mean ol’ demon.

Poor Kyle. He’s been in a relationship for like 10 minutes and his boyfriend is already chasing after an ex…SMH

And he will have to help haha.

Kyle is a hero. That is how he sees himself. He will help Spooky rescue Anaado without a second thought.

I don’t doubt that at all.. but he still has feelings that can get hurt.

They have some of the strangest beach apparel ever. And I am counting Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood.

I don’t think I like Spooky when he is angry! I definitely wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of this……..plus pent up rage from way back……all of it coming to the surface and aimed directly at this one person!

“I’m not the same boy you left behind. I AM SO MUCH MORE.”

“Strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine! Oh, screw it. I’ll just kick your ass now.”
Well, there is that option. I mean, he did gloat a few pages back that if he killed this shard or whatever, he wouldn’t get the info he needed. Whelp, now he has the info he needs. One plus two plus one…

They have a pact. He will release him. But that is the end of Spooky’s obligations.

If you want to play the “rules lawyer” card, technically, Spooky has a hold of him right now. *Lets go of hand* “You’re released.” *zap* But that’s just me, heh.

I’m with you on that‼ But didn’t he actually already “released” him anyway? Like from when he was stuck on all those spears-thingie? So, he’s all good to zap him now in my book!

Isn’t restraining Velliok a violation of their deal? What happens if you violate a deal?

The demons respect you slightly more.

I know Spooky’s pretty awesome, but can he really destroy a king of Hell? He took himself out of the fight when the last one was fought so we don’t know how well he’d do.

Well, Kyle can still help him.

As cuddly Spooky can be, he is no ones lap dog.

Just like Wildroses say below, I am also worried whether this was the reaction Velliok counted on, or if he just couldn’t help to provoke him, in his demonic arrogance. Considering Laampros’ superior puny humans attitude towards everyone earlier, it could easily be either or… or both.

Is this just part of the new trap, after Spooky bested him, and saw through his first trap, or is Velliok’s hate and desire to catch Spooky making him extra insufferable, now that he doesn’t have to hide himself?
Yeah, I am leaning towards both.

I really hope Velliok will learn a lesson in the end, just as Lasmpros did. Spooky now needs to remember that he has friends, and isn’t alone.

that little gesture definitely set off Spooky’s “now i’m mad” button, Velliok should’ve known better bbbbbut i think he was getting too arrogant to notice/care at the moment
Spooky’s got what he wanted (mostly at least) but now’s the time for some action
honestly this could go either way, or both, in terms of these two getting too confident in their own abilities, or more in Velliok’s case, confident in the lack of Spooky’s abilities
this is a very dangerous game all around in every way, Spooky better be ready for….well, hell

This dude’s whole shtick seems to be the master demon manipulator/deal maker. I’m taking bets that he knew that would set Spooks off and did it on purpose. Tie Spooky’s personal anger into the current situation so he won’t think too hard about running straight back into hell

Yeah tell him Spooky!

You get the feeling he’s a wee bit miffed?

Both of them.

Oh, Velliok, are you sure you don’t want to give an evil laugh?

I am slightly disappointed. Scrolling down, I was hoping for an “I’m Spooky Jones” word balloon, complete with special logo/font. 🙂

Great work on panel 1, BTW.

Plot twist. He’s going to wake up and see he’s been doing all this stuff to Kyle.

Who turns out to be very much into bdsm and before they know it, there are another 25 pages of oooh, hit me harder before they run out of crisco.

Yipe! (Or to his pillow!)

It’s already been established that this is going on in Spooky’s mind, so most likely.

Wrong order. Start with the destroying first.

Bravo, Spooky!

Woo-hoot!
~~still a bit afraid this is all going according to Velliok’s plan but~~
Yeah! You show him Spooky! You rule‼

On another note, I visited the Amazon page for the Artifice kindle book, and that odd review is still the first shown one although there are older ones, newer ones and more helpful ones‼ What’s their criteria???

I’ve had that drop-and-hold used on me. It’s very effective.

Velliok has messed with the wrong guy! I hope Spooky isn’t overconfident though.

Yeah! Go Spooky!

yeeaaaaahh mah boyyyyy <3 <3 <3 wonder if this qualifies as a big damn hero moment *scoots over to tv tropes*

Hello Campers,
The terms have been declared and the gauntlet thrown. I’m anxiously awaiting another exciting page to be posted.

It really depends on whether Velliok is *just* misbehaving because he’s a demon and is naturally nasty, and since he’s got an agreement from Spooky feels that he can afford to back off a little bit. OTOH, if as I’ve wondered he has a reason that he *needs* to continue with dominance games, then it’s going to be yer proverbial clash of unstoppable force vs immovable object. (At which point, Admiral Jane will hand over the pitchfork.)

I think Velliok suffers from an overabundance of Testosterone (in plainer English, raging horniness)

I’m not so sure. It’s a possibility that I’m prepared to accept if the story runs that way. But I’ve got a nasty feeling that Velliok knows Spooky’s history and is deliberately choosing this tactic as a way to try to revive past trauma in order to play those aforementioned dominance games.

I think you’re right about Velliok thinking he can gain advantage over Spooky using the memory of some past trauma. But I also see those wandering loose hands and touch-feely fingers just screaming in Velliok’s mind for satisfaction on Spooky’s body. I’ve seen too many real people like that to think that anyone like Velliok (dressed as he is – old style) thinks otherwise.
