Hello, everyone.  I know I don't use this journal very often, but for those of you visiting, hello!  And a special message: "The Wotch" (www.thewotch.com) is returning.  

Yes, after far, far too long of an unplanned hiatus, the comic returns with a new look. Ian Samson of "City of Reality" (www.cityofreality.com) is taking over the art duties.  Robin will maintain his coloring duties once the story comics resume, and I remain the writer.  The new schedule is updates on Monday, until such time as we feel comfortable bumping that up to two comics a week sometime in the future.  Ian has his own comic to write and draw, after all!

Now, I love drawing, I do.  However, I feel that handing over the art duties was the best thing for the comic for several reasons.  I'm hoping that this gives us an opportunity to continue the story in an efficient and fun manner.  Ian's art skills are amazing--far, far beyond my own, which I fully acknowledge are amateurish at best.  Still, the opportunity to draw again was one of the reasons why I started The Wotch in the first place, so I will not be leaving it entirely.  I still plan on doing one-shots or between-story mini-arcs (and maybe fillers, though we'd certainly like to cut down on those in general).  

Thank you to all involved in getting this relaunch underway, and thank you to the many, many out there who continued to show support during this dark, quiet time.   To those we lost, we hope you will return but I certainly understand your decision.  To those who kept checking and hoping, I hope that we can make that worth while for you!

Have a magical day, everyone.

PS. The new Wotch outfits as scene in this gallery will not be used.  However, after the conclusion of the current story, you may be in for a little surprise...

PPS. To any Steph or Cass Batgirl fans out there (or Babs, too), or to anyone interested in seeing an example of a collab of Ian and myself, we teamed up to make this: [link] you like it!
