Dawn of the Superman - Exiern Halloween Special 2022

Here's this year's Halloween special a little under 45 minutes early!

Continuing another fine tradition since 2017 is the image kindly made for us by Marshall Reeves, author and artist of the webcomic Yesterday Bound! (As well as onetime Neese artist - a story we promise we are finally going to finish soon!) 

Consider checking it out if you haven't already, I think it'...

Exiern: Dark Reflections Top Webcomics Image for November 2022

Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 182 - Under the Boot of Concussion

I'll be looking at unlocking all the previous posts to all readers at some point soon and pages posted this month will be opened at some point in November. I'm aware I'm running out of October but work this month has been murder! (Also where I'm writing this even though it's now four hours post my supposed finish time ...)

Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 181 - The Naked Truth

Well, this all speaks for itself from the title to down the page as well!

Additional note: In keeping with the theme of this version of Exiern drawing on the others, Tiffany asking Peonie why she's naked is the question phrased the exact way it was asked during The Aquatic Adventures of Princess Peonie published from many years ago (and also in this Patreon previously), though the context is just a little different!

Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 180 - The Zap Gun

A lot of us have probably conflated tasers and stun guns at one time or another but from what my research has told me, tasers are ranged weapons like the ones seen last page while this is a stun gun.

As for where such things as these, modern ski gear, one aeroplane (so far!) and mass-produced cigarettes are coming from is a whole other question! (Actually the aeroplane is easy, it clearly says New Zealand on the body).

As for the title of this page, it comes from the Philip K. Dic...

Window to the Soul

My laptop wouldn't connect to the mobile hotspot at work yesterday so I had to use my phone. It wasn't my favourite experience. Fortunately, I'm doing the rest of these at home.

Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 175 - Fabric of Reality

The background behind this page was that Aurora's dress didn't have or appear to be able to have a slit down the left side when the character first appeared but then one appeared for a while. 

As reality has always been a bit rubbery at the best of times within the same dimension as seen since almost the beginning of the original Exiern, this way didn't hurt to both remind us of this fact plus also demonstrate it's also applicable over here (and certainly not something we might use...

Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 174 - Private Dick Not Spotted

I'm back from Vietnam and in Australia again.

OK, there's a few layers to this title. This was most obviously meant to be a private conversation but you may know that a 'private dick' is referring to a private investigator or detective and one of the things they can do is look for things. 

As we also know, you argue that Tiffany's penis is presently still missing (location unknown). Hence, it's also could be said that it's not spotted (ergo not seen) either.

However, th...

The Exiern main storyline is fully restored in the archive! (I think)

I have a favour to ask everyone in the paragraphs in bold!

So, since June 2022 as I've been crisscrossing the globe (from Australia to Sri Lanka to the UK and Europe and then back again in reverse order), I've been spending some of that time trying to restore the main Exiern story. After getting most of the rest of the way there on a trip to visit my brother, I think I've finally completed it this morning (Australian East Coast Time). The Filler material will be restored later to the Ex...

Also, even if you're just following on Patreon and not subscribing to a tier, you still get to see the weekly page about four hours earlier than on the public site (especially handy for the East Coast of the US where I think a lot of our readers are!)

(Non-patrons don't get to see this page until the 26th of September 2022.)

Now back in Australia!

The title from Game of Thrones turned out to be "King in the North", not what we went with (I told you all I haven't actually seen the show!) but even if I'd realised that, I still would have gone with what we went with anyway.

Seems like other lives are making their presence felt in the Tiffany of this world as well! Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will tell!

Airport Wifi can be a bit hit and miss. Didn't have any trouble in London City Airport or in Munich from what I remember, nor in Changi Airport Singapore. Luxembourg Airport on the other hand wanted absolutely nothing to do with my laptop or Comic Fury at all including from my phone.

So anyway, I thought I'd better check that this week's Exiern page posted successfully when I got back to Australia and this is what happened in Sydney Airport. Well,...
