Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Denise Callahan is the chairman of the Northern Separatists Movements, and a political colleague of Olivia Wells. Dies at the hands of Targeter in a showdown at the Wells Hotel after The Dweller revealed her vulnerability to House Caladharas forces.
This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
On another note, I’m considering using ComicPress myself. However, I will be publishing pure text novels. One problem is that these comments aren’t editable. It that a setting that you’ve imposed or is that a feature? If it’s a feature than BBpress may be better as a comment board.
BTW, I’ve been lurking on this Comic for quite a while and have re-read a lot of the archives earlier this week.
@Slamlander, It’s not a setting. It’s just the way that WordPress is set up I believe. I think it’s done that way to keep people from getting comment approval, and then changing their links back to spam links later on.
And as for a comment board, this seems to be better than BBpress because people actually use it 😉
There is something to be said for that (usage). However, Michael Poe (ErrantStory.com) seems to have no problem getting people to use his PHPBB board and he doesn’t have spam issues there either. (Maybe something integrating the two … I’ll look at the code.)
I must say, I didn’t expect to see Targeter face to face with Denise. Very cool!
It’s almost time for me to reread the whole thing again (Sigh) so I can keep seeing how everything fits together. It gets harder and longer every year :).
@Ken, It gets hard for me too sometimes. It kinda blows my mind to think of how long this comic has been running so far, and how much has changed in the real world in that time too.
The other thing she has going for her is that she never, ever lets her ego get in the way of her work. I’ve seen a number of people get hung up that way over the years. Ego can kill you if you aren’t careful.
Yeah, if it were you or me, we’d have roasted Targeter the moment she pointed the gun at us just to be sure. But Enana is so confident that she can’t be hurt that she can’t resist toying around.
(Doubly unforgivably stupid because this is the bunch that already offed Shoreham/Prometreya not even all that long ago)

@schizoshrink, I’m glad you like them, and I hope you keep checking things out here.

@Dragonrider, What Targeter has is brains 😉
