First Comic Home Archive Fan Art "); Field Day 61 – The Finale October 25, 2019 And with that, we end the story of the Crimson Claw. I’ll admit I’m a bit misty-eyed right now. When I started this comic over six years ago, I honestly never thought it would go this far, let alone to a proper ending. I’d left a string of abandoned webcomics behind me, but this one…This one was different. I was more charged up, more inspired, and more invested in creating this one than any other of my previous work. The Claws weren’t even supposed to be the main characters. I originally had designed the comic to feature The Actioneer, and the Crimson Claw was just a throwaway gag villain. After fleshing out the character and his world, I switch gears and put him front and center. I set a twice-a-week update schedule, which I’d never even attempted before, and I actually kept it up, only missing a few scattered updates over the entire life of the comic. I actually went YEARS between missed updates, and I’m proud of that. This comic got me through some tough times, too. But it wasn’t just the work. There were a lot of people in my corner early on. I had my friends at Halforums, where I mirrored the comic. Spiderforest accepted me when I only had the bare minimum fifteen comics in an archive. I want to offer a special thanks to KEZ, Tiana, and all the other SF members who helped me build and maintain this site over the years. I also had a wonderful fan base that was incredibly supportive, and I’m very thankful for all of you. When I first started, I was doing a number of things that were brand new to me. I was creating my comic entirely on an iPad, and I think I might have really been one of the first creators to really do that. I also invited my readers to create characters and even guest write strips involving the faceless henchmen. Thanks to all those who were a part of those events! I can probably guess you’ve got a few questions, so I’ll see if I can answer some of them right now. Is this really the end? For now, it’s the end. Anything’s possible, and I might get the itch to return to this comic, but for now, I feel this is a good ending – one that’s probably best left as is. What about a spin-off? I am working on a new project, and it’s still in development. However, it’s a new, original project, and won’t feature any of the cast. When will we see that? Give us some details, man! I’m still working on fleshing some things out, and, to be honest, I don’t even have a page sketched yet. Again, I’m trying some new things, but I’m more competent with the apps I’ve elected to use, so…it might not be a long wait. I’d like to have something established and up by Christmas. I just might take a short break first, since I really haven’t done that in six years. I think I’ve earned it. I still intend to go through Spiderforest, and I’ll need to make sure it’s good to ensure that happens. Also, you might want to join Halforums. Besides having a great group of people on the message boards, it’s also where I always work out my comic projects. You’d get exclusive sneak peeks and other art goodies. Even better, now I’ve got time to be chatty over there! Come and hang out! What happens to this website? The website comes down on Monday, unfortunately. Nah – I’m kidding! I’m going to leave things as is. I’d prefer not to risk breaking anything, and, to be honest, everything, even the author notices in between some pages, is partly the story of my own life. I don’t want to take them down. So, for now, we part ways, but it’s hardly a goodbye. But I will take one last opportunity to say thank you for all the years we’ve enjoyed together with this comic. Thank you for being fans. Thank you for making creating this work so enjoyable and rewarding. And thank you – THANK YOU – for reading. Until the next time! -Zappit 66 Comments ‹‹ First ‹ Prev Comments(66) Random Next › Last ›› 66 Comments 0 Pings By craveneon Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 12:47 am you’re welcome Reply to this person By Gianluca T Burdon Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 12:51 am Great Work, Zappit! It was a good run. Part of the fun was how you kept us readers actively involved Just going to reveal something I told myself I would keep about the character I created The GooFather until it was revealed in series or if the comic ended. In the comment section of this page: http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/the-action-faction-finale-part-1/ I revealed the character info on GooFather, but kept the identity of his Son a secret, marking it only as a Spoiler, today I confirm that the Son is Captain Ultimo . I don’t know whether or not Zappit kept that as Canon, or if he changed it. If he did, then I’m cool with, this comic is his story , and it’s been a fun one to read Reply to this person By Zappit Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 1:22 am Thanks, Gianluca! As for that secret origin…i don’t think that part will be canon. I’d prefer that only things that made it into the strip be the official canon. However, if you want to headcanon it, you go right ahead, sir. Reply to this person By Tigershark06 Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 1:29 am My first reaction with that reveal” You suck… you utter tease! LOL But what an awesome way to end the tale. Congratulations on a successful run! This comic has been a lot of fun to follow! Reply to this person By Vasu Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 1:38 am Huh, So This is my first and last comment for this site. Thanks a bunch for this webcomic Zappit! Whenever I was sick I would make a habit of doing an archive binge of this comic. A few questions however, namely what happened to Meat and Lori and their search for Meat’s bother? Regardless, thank you for one of the best comics I kept up with for the past 4 years. Reply to this person By Zaneko Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 1:41 am It’s come to an end. A bittersweet one. It was a satisfying story. You’ve taken us so far and what a ride it was. We’ve seen them face the world, and we’ve seen them change it. Most importantly, we’ve watched then grow and develop. But it’s sad because it’s come to an end. I’ll miss this comic a lot, but thank you for your wonderful work and wonderful world. Reply to this person By Gadget Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 3:23 am I have enjoyed this comic since I came across it 3 years ago, the characters are funny, but realistic to the setting. I am sad to see it end, what will Meat’s family grow up to be like? So many wonderful characters that I have come to care about and wonder what will happen to them. Thank you for your great work. Reply to this person By Geowend Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 3:38 am Amazing work…thank you for the comic. It has been a pleasure to check in on for the past 6 years. I was waiting to find out what his….escape claws was going to be from his masked fate…. Reply to this person By CK Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 4:14 am OOOooohhh,, pun-ishment time! Reply to this person By CK Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 4:10 am Ah, I knew we would not see his face! It is better that way, leaves the mystery. Thank you for a wonderful ride. Thanks, so much. Reply to this person By Iron Ed Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 4:13 am You’re welcome, Zappit! And Thank YOU for making such a story for me to read! I wish you equal or even better success in your future ventures! Reply to this person By that_jedi_girl Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 4:32 am Thanks for brightening my nights twice a week (I could usually access a new page as I was winding down). It was a mom and sons communal event – hey, is up – come and check it out. And it was incredibly cool when you accepted and illustrated my henchmen submission. It got me a small bit of cred in the house. ? Will eagerly await the next grand adventure you share. Until then (and beyond) — live long, prosper, and create cool things. Reply to this person By Sabrina Pandora Fri Oct 25th 2019 at 5:11 am I signed on because we were members of the Collective together, and I found that I loved the strip. I’ve followed it for years now, and i will admit, I am sad to see it go. But I...
