From the Crowd: That’s traitorous talk! PANEL 2: Nando alone at the podium, continuing. NANDO: It’s not. Ramiro knew it to be true. Why do you think he sent my crew across the galaxy? PANEL 3: NANDO points seriously, partially in shadow. NANDO: I’m the only one up here telling you the dang truth. Because I’M the only one what’s been out there among our enemies. PANEL 4: NANDO points down, getting very serious. NANDO: I have fought the Continuum AND the Vinn. AND the Gannath. Have you? HAVE ANY OF YOU?

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. 🙂
