Optiluiz's Day Off - Part VI



Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more, just barely on time! Hope you've all had a pleasant week, I know I have. We're halfway through our second page of comics now, and I hope you're all ready for Max's glorious debut next week. (Don't worry Max, I'll draw you extra-emo).

Anyway, I'm almost on vacation, and have been busy catching up with recent media. I've finally finished Dark Souls 2, and have proceeded to add that fact to my resumé. I've also finished watching the third season of Hannibal, after having delayed it for over a year, unwilling to say goodbye to the best show on television. Jesus, that was the greatest finale I've ever seen on TV. 10/10.

I attempted to deal with my post-Hannibal depression by hosting my own science-fiction double-feature picture show, watching both Stephen King's Cell adaptation, and Hardcore Henry. Both are films which I've been waiting to see for years now, and I was not disappointed. However, both films are simply not getting the press they deserve. If you can get your hands on either of these, please watch them. Cell is getting an especially undeserved critical panning, which is strange as it's one of the best King adaptations I've seen.

In any case, I must leave you now, dear readers, as Friday night must be enjoyed beyond the realm of the internet. Thank you very much for visiting, and I hope you have a fuck-tastic weekend.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: I had a hard time choosing Optiluiz's Jam of the Week this time, but my mind is still stuck on Hannibal, here's the spoilerific "Love Crime" scene:

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part V.5



Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with yet another silly comic strip starring yours truly. I hope you enjoy it, but I've been doing some script edits and realized that our last comic isn't up to par with our "regular" programming, so we might as well just ignore it. What do you guys think? In any case...

This has been quite a week. Nothing extraordinary happened, but it's been surprisingly pleasant. I'm finally ready to say goodbye to the greatest television series ever made (Hannibal), so I've been finishing up the third season in my free time, and I'll never feel whole again. If you're out there, God, we've only one prayer for you; BRING BACK HANNIBAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that, I've almost reached the end of Dark Souls 2, and am certainly going to purchase the third one when it becomes financially feasible to do so. I actually had an awful experience with Bloodborne, but for some reason Dark Souls seems way more enjoyable. I'm not entirely sure why, since Bloodborne is just a reskinned version of its predecessors.

Not much else to write about for now, but I believe next week will have a lot more news. In the mean-time, thank you for visiting, and don't forget to visit the About Us page and get in touch with our social media accounts. Have a great weekend, readers.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Anyone else enjoyed the living hell out of E3 this year? Sony was killin' it, man.

PPS: I guess I'll include the Death Stranding trailer as Optiluiz's Jam-of-the-Week, since I'm a massive Kojima fan-boy, and his trailers are usually complex music videos anyway.


PPPS: We'll be reaching the end of Optiluiz's Day Off quite soon, folks, so don't lose hope!

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part V



Greetings, clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with an unusual post. For the first time since our new relaunch, I'm bringing you a late comic. In my defense, I'm dealing with quite a few projects at the moment, so the blog sometimes must be relegated to the background whilst I deal with more pressing matters.

But to hell with that shit, today I bring you this lost comic despite it being a Sunday evening (or Monday morning depending on your perspective). I know it's not my best work, but it'll have to do for now. Think of this as a bridge towards the next page of Optiluiz's Day Off!

Not much to add beyond that, but I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Tune in this Friday for our regularily-scheduled comic. On that note, I still have to find somewhere to post our first page... In any case, thanks for visiting, folks!

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: The Conjuring 2 was just as good as the first, get off your asses and go see that. Lucy even has a cameo in it, honest!

PPS: It is so cold that my breathing is fogging up the computer screen. I love it.

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part IV



Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more, on time, and with a very special comic! As some of you may have noticed, Part II's technical issues have been solved and the updated comic has already been posted. Also, today marks the Epic Club Blog's first official page of comics! I know it's strange celebrating a single page after a full month of work, but we're a one-man operation, so that's quite the milestone.

We're only half-way through the current story-arc, but I hope you guys are enjoying the ride. It's been tough keeping up the pace, especially having to replace one of the comics after the evil pen incident. However, Storyboarding class has certainly helped me out, not to mention a few outside influences like my friend Pixel. You guys should totally check out his work-in-progress paranormal web-comic at Exit-the-Abyss!

In other news, is any one else watching the Wolf Creek TV series? It's so good and more people should be talking about it. I already loved the movie but this is just too cool. Also, I've been reading Fables comic after purchasing The Wolf Among Us in a Playstation flash sale, and both of these are amazing. Telltale should be writing actual television and movies, though they've perfected the "choose your own adventure" style of storytelling in games.

That's all for now, but I hope you guys have an amazing weekend. It's been a fun first month so far, and I think the comics are a hell of a lot better now than when I first started. Don't forget to comment and share with your friends, I'll be uploading the compiled first page soon enough.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Holy shit did you guys check out this season of Supernatural? I was *this* close to giving up on the series and it suddenly became good again. I still think it's time to end it with dignity, though.

PPS: No Optiluiz's Jam of the Week this week, but I'll keep you guys posted if I find a cool song.

PPPS: There's no particular reason for this week's Venom promo-art, but why not, right?
