Lettering the Final Chapter!
After finding the ideas to craft a story, the pencil lead worn down drawing, the layers and selections of coloring, you’d think lettering was the easiest part of making a comic, but you’d be wrong – especially with the size of our iPhone pages. Cramming all of Jeff’s awesome dialogue onto a 320×480 screen is a challenge without obscuring Erik’s awesome artwork.
We brought on a letterer to help us finish the series off and he’s doing a great job, so to make sure we don’t fumble the deadline again we’re going to finish the remaining 4 issues and have them all in the can before letting #2 out in the App Store so that you can be assured to get them week after week in April to go alongside your shiny new iPad. And once that’s done its going to the Android Marketplace as well.
So now we’re just finishing off Chapter 11 which concludes the secret origin of the Super Kaiju Hero Force.
What’s next? A Super Kaiju Hero Force game is now being developed and the programming side is just about done and we’ll begin the final artwork soon – hopefully it’ll be out in May just as you start to go into final kaiju withdrawl.
That’s it for now – hopefully next week we’ll be closer to submitting the chapters to Apple.

So… How’s that final chapter coming along?
I have to admit… You had me suckered. When I first found your series, I really enjoyed it. I even bought into your hype about creating comics for mobile devices and whatnot.
But, now that you have abandoned your update site and turned off your Twitter feed, I can safely say that your flash in the pan operation has gone kaput. It’s a shame, because you are talented individuals and your comic showed a lot of promise. Now, yore just another Rob Liefeld wannabe who makes promises and doesn’t deliver.
Thanks for nothing.

Bob –
Thanks for your comments! Calling us “Rob Liefeld” would have hurt more if we weren’t already calling ourselves that!
We do want to apologize for the delay for getting new chapters out – and to be honest everything is done we are just spending time going over the pages one last time before we let them all out as well we are working on an iPhone game featuring the Super Kaiju Hero Force.
It will see the light of day and we do appreciate you calling us out on it! With no “editor” to kick-us this is what happens. Same can be said of the big “i” guys.
We promise to complete it – if not I will personally email you all the pages so you can read it at your leisure!
Thanks for kicking us in the balls!

Sorry to go off on you like that. Also, sorry about the double post. My first message disappeared from my phone before I could hit “post”.
Like I said, I really enjoyed your series and I really hope you can get done and get it to the appstore.
