Paradox Comics and Bioshock Infinite!

Time travel.. DOO WEE WOOOO

Greetings!

     Optiluiz here once more on this lovely (and strangely cold) Friday to present to you the future of ECB! As Max and I were discussing, this is a turning point for the blog, where our comics are suddenly good! But I hope you like today's comic, and remember that you can read it forever, repeating the panels infinitely. Goddamn, I love paradoxes. Now on to the news...

     We've tried to get some estimates on a few websites regarding how much our blog is worth, and the answer was over one thousand bucks! Which is low for some, but we expected a lot less, and it's a good motivation to keep trying to make things better. After all, 1000 is infinitely better than a blog which doesn't exist! And here at the ECB, we always have our eyes set on the future! 

     In other news, I'm almost finished Desperation (although I might be done with it by the time this is online), and it's really a great Stephen King novel. Sure I've read a few that were better, but King is one of my biggest influences and he still can pack a literary punch (although I guess this book is from the 90s). I've also entered a 50-word fiction contest, where I wanted to make something relevant to today's post but I ended up writing about a drunk werewolf. Exciting stuff, people. Now here's a doodle of Optiluiz falling through time!

such time, much fall

     I think it's very Doctor-Who-ish, but lacks some colour. Maybe in some alternate universe I had more patience and coloured it in. Speaking of which, I finally finished Bioshock Infinite! This is one of the best games I've ever played and I urge all of you to do so as soon as possible! The original Bioshock was a masterpiece of gaming, but this actually surpasses the predacessor in terms of storytelling. However, I really miss the old-school survivor-horror vibe. Max tells me the DLC fixes this, but fuck DLC!

     Well, I guess this all I have to say for now. I hope you guys enjoyed this week's post, and I'll leave you with... er... I was going to show you guys the Circle Will Be Unbroken cover from Bioshock Infinite, but I guess I have something different in store. Something regarding Hannibal! I've said before how great this series was, so I'll leave you guys with a little gem I found this week. Have a great weekend!

Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out...

PS: Max here, with the BLOODY BEST COMIC EVER! Ye! I finally decided to draw with half of my skills instead of just 1/4 to get to our fans something at least half-arsed! Now that I'm making actual good comics, I hope our fans can finally admit that they are our fans, don't be ashamed! There's a lot of neat things to be released soon, a song and even our own show! Also, I apologise for the last week not having anything, but I was in the hospital. Anyways, Heil Snails!

PSS: Speaking of all this time travel, Doctor Who is back and Peter Capaldi is great!

PPPS: I didn't finish my book but won the contest! Check out the short short story here!
