PANEL 1: The CAPTAIN, as a hologram, speaks to Los Tres Primos - a SHORT PRIMO and a THIN PRIMO. CAPTAIN: Why don’t you shuttle over and we’ll make a plan SHORT PRIMO: Can’t slow down for shuttles. The Nyx are already on the move. TALL PRIMO: Otherwise, we’d invite you aboard THE MORONS’ BANE. PANEL 2: Close up on the CAPTAIN’s hologram, with the STRONG PRIMO responding. CAPTAIN: When did the Nyx fleet leave Du—WAIT. Did you say MORONS’ BANE? STRONG PRIMO: That’s our new ship! PANEL 3: The STRONG PRIMO and SHORT PRIMO smile as they explain. STRONG PRIMO: Tenth one since we went on the run. SHORT PRIMO: We started out with LADY MONTGOMERY’S SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD PUNCHIN’. It was stolen scout ship, like yours. PANEL 4: All three Primos remember the names of their ships, smiling. STRONG PRIMO: Then we got THIS WON’T END WELL. SHORT PRIMO: Followed by DEFINITELY NOT STOLEN. TALL PRIMO: Then OOPS, ALL LASERS. PANEL 5: From outside their new ship zooming through space, stars streaking behind them, they continue naming their past ships. PRIMO: Then RAPID UNSCHEDULED DISASSEMBLY. CONFLICT RESOLUTION FOR FUN & PROFIT. THAT’LL BUFF RIGHT OUT. THE M-XWAVES ARE PLAN B. And most recently…NO RAGRETS. PANEL 6: From behind the CAPTAIN’s hologram, over her shoulder, the SHORT PRIMO holds up both thumbs in excitement. CAPTAIN: That’s…quite the list. SHORT PRIMO: We don’t have much in life, Captain. But what we DO have… we give stupid names. —— Want to read the full story? Join us at Patreon.com/drive for the *FULL* Tales of the Drive archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!

THE NEW SITE IS LIVE!

Posted on May 25, 2022 by Dave Kellett

Hooray! The new site is up and running!
Click around! Check it out!

NEW FEATURES! NEW ARCHIVES!

  • The new site is a culmination of 2+ years of work. OVER TWO YEARS. 🙂
  • Key pages have been re-mastered!
  • The *entire archive* has been re-colored!
  • An entirely new archiving system has been designed!
  • Pages are now bigger and prettier — AND there are sliced comics for a mobile version of the site!
  • And it’s all wrapped up in a clean new design!
  • New RSS feed is here: https://www.drivecomic.com/feed

PATREON NOW WOVEN INTO THE SITE:

The main story will always be free to read, but we’ve also woven a bunch of rad Patreon extras and exclusives throughout the site. Now, when you join us on Patreon, you’ll get:

  • Exclusive early reads for future weeks!
  • Exclusive sneak peeks and behind-the scenes!
  • Exclusive community forums where I chime in all the time!
  • Exclusive Kickstarter extras!
  • 200+ pages of “Tales of the Drive”! (Going forward, every new Tales will run once on the main site, then move to the “Tales” sub-domain a month or so after it wraps.)
  • Special maps, ship blueprints, timelines and more!
  • And — a Patreon favorite — weekly giveaways of original art!

Huge thanks to Brian, the incredible talent behind Toocheke.com and Leetoo.net— for bringing the site to life! I highly recommend Brian and his amazing skills! He is a kind, talented person, who I will absolutely work with again! And huge thanks also to Beth, for the 2+ years of work remastering the Drive archives, and the billion other tasks that went into the new site. And thank YOU for your continued support for Drive on Patreon.com/drive. The story has some fantastic twists and turns ahead, and I can’t wait to share it via this site!

— Dave

PS: Oh! And I should note: There will of course be bugs here and there — every new site has them. But we’ll iron them out in the days and weeks ahead. 🙂
