End of Volume One

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Decided to put this page up so we don’t spoil the ending for people who are going directly to the latest page from links as opposed to reading through the archives.

The second graphic novel will begin WITHIN 10 DAYS FOR SURE, POSSIBLY ON CHRISTMAS DAY. And I’m finally going to start showing screenplay pages by Christmas Day at the very latest! I’ll continue to update with script excerpts after the second GN starts, on days when a new comic page doesn’t go up.

Thank you for your patience as you wait for the sequel to start, which will be VERY SOON!

    This nearly brought tears to my eyes. If it does arrive on Christmas, this will be the best present ever.

  2. Ilya Says:

    Really? By Christmas? That would be a-freaking-mazing!

  3. SEA Says:

    I sure hope it arrives on christmas.
    Can’t wait =D

  4. Crazy Artist Says:

    BEST.
    CHRISTMAS.
    EVAR.

  5. Jon Pander Says:

    Wow… I’m number 3. But I have nothing to comment on :)

    Can’t wait to see the sequel, though I’ve also been enjoying the updates to Marry Me in the meantime.

  6. Owen Says:

    I haven’t even started shopping yet so don’t get your hopes up too high, but if it isn’t on Christmas it’ll be very shortly after. Also, if a new page doesn’t show on the 25th I’ll at least have a sneak peek for you. Vol.2 is gonna stomp vol.1 if things go according to plan.

  7. Valatros Says:

    Never commented before, but I must admit, I’ve never quite looked forward to A christmas present as much as I look forward this one. Congratulations on a brilliantly done comic, and heres hoping for several more.

  8. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Yeah, just to clarify, a SCREENPLAY page is guaranteed by Christmas, but a comic page (Page 1 of the second GN) is simply 99.9% sure by New Year’s Day. I haven’t even written it yet, but I’ve got the first scene all planned out and most of the dialogue written. Gonna get Page 1 to Owen within 24 hours probably, so there’s a chance it will be up by Christmas, but not guaranteed.

  9. Desmodus Says:

    I’ve never commented before now, but I just wanted to say that this was the best graphic novel I’ve ever read! Rock on.

  10. Odin Says:

    This was quite simply the best webcomic I have ever read. Definitely one of the best works of fiction I have had the pleasure of getting lost in. I will be waiting on pins and needles for GN#2 to start. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all. And to Bobby and Owen thank you for the great ride this year. Thanks Directly to the two of your efforts this year has not sucked entirely.

    My school’s comic book class found your comic during a vampire/zombie war debate between several of us and the teacher. I have become a loyal (and avid) reader of your comic. Please post more!

    If things go according to plan, Vol. 2 is going to be kickass!

  16. Kitey Says:

    oh and fans in new york………ur school has a dam comic book class screw you man your school rocks wish mine was half that good

  17. Grim_eko Says:

    I’ve been a silent observer for some time now and I have to tell you; you two do amazing work. The planning and suspense of this graphic novel is easily with leagues of The Watchmen, The Dark Knight Chronicles and other classics. Please keep us up to date on the movie as well. As a cinematographer I would be more than honored to view any film your mind has leaked.

  18. Sebine Says:

    Yes, Best Freakin Christmas Ever!!! this is such an AWESOME comic!!!!

    I would like to know (sorry if im re-asking an already answered question) whats in the “vodka” bottles..

  19. Sebine Says:

    (sorry) I mean i know hes turned back into a human, but WHAT exactly is it? =X

    or is that a little hard to explain?

  20. Ari Says:

    Great work with volume one guys. I cant wait to see what you cook up for volume two. I hope some vampires stick around. For one thing I’m not sure if rage would like being human :P.

  21. Demon! Says:

    I guess it will be too optimistic to expect the second Last Blood to materialize under the Chsristmas tree :D

    Best holiday wishes for Bobby and Owen, and best of luck with the new GN!

  22. D.B. Says:

    Good idea Bobby. Wow that last page has got a few comments eh? Im glad i got in around 30ish

  23. Altair Says:

    I never thought that NOT seeing Math’s face would make me happy, but after two weeks of clicking the link and seeing pg. 112, i got all excited to see a new page.

    Even if it DID only say ‘End of Book One’. It makes me hopeful.

    xmas day? Again, will be best present. Possibly ONLY present. *makes puppy dog eyes* Pwease?

  24. Abunai Says:

    Yea, i’ve never left a comment before either but I wanted to! I really ended up liking this one alot! and it was left.. on a very exciting note! But I cant wait now, so yea I’m going to be looking forward to it, another thing I cant for for c-mas for!!

  25. Grym Says:

    ‘whats in the “vodka” bottles..’
    It’s turn-back-into-human-juice. Of course, correct me if I’m wrong.

  26. Brian C. Says:

    This was truely an amazing graphic novel — as a fellow horror comic book writer myself I wish I came up with this idea…this comic kicks ass

  27. ingledients! Says:

    Nyeeeah… Sore Thumbs is funnier…

    Wait.. This isn’t a comedy is it?
    damn and drat!

    ;)

  28. Nik Says:

    First time commenter here.

    I really enjoyed Last Blood, and am looking forward to seeing where you take it from here. I’ve made sure to download the books from Wowio, and I’ll be waiting patiently to read the next GN. The ideas may not be utterly original (but, hey, no ideas truly are), but they’re very well-addressed in this story, with a few nice changeups (e.g. I loved Murdo’s decision to just kill MM and not worry about the possible consequences of not doing so).

    Finally, while I tend to prefer more illustrator-/manga-style comic artists, Owen is very skilled, and his work made this GN come alive. I can’t imagine it being as good, much less better, if done by anyone else.

  29. Sim^moN Says:

    Take your time guys, no rush… I know the wait will be worth it! =D
    So - Merry X-mas to both of you!

  30. Demon! Says:

    Hey, is there is a hand-drawn MS Paint sketch for this page? ;)

    (just a Christmas joke)

  34. Santa Claus Says:

    Great stuff!

  35. Ek Says:

    Take your time guys. I doubt you’ll lose any fan base if you enjoy the holidays :) .. Coming from me who couldn’t wait for an update on LB. Patience is a virtue and with time perfects almost all creativity.

    Now I’m not saying procrastinate… but for sure take a load off. You guys earned it.

    Cheers and Happy Holidays.

  36. Krasno Says:

    Fans in New York have comics lessons? Anko should teach those!

    For the first time in ages I’m gonna look forward for X-mas! =D

  37. Lily Says:

    I’ve read this entire comic from about half way through, and this is my first time commenting…

    By god, one of the best stories/comics/works of fiction i’ve read in a damned long time. The art is amazing, I wish I was half as good, and the writing is something else.

    Can’t wait for Christmas :D thanks for making such a great webcomic!

  38. Sherry's Says:

    I can’t wait no longer :D

  39. Anko Says:

    “Fans in New York have comics lessons? Anko should teach those!”

    What? Did I miss out on something?

  40. Narfen Says:

    Happy freaking x-mas to all of ya.

  41. Katy Says:

    Happy Holidays, whatever your particularly poison may be for this season! I have been looking forward to the screenplay pages, with the rest of the group, in anticipation. I’ve also been sick, so haven’t been commenting, since between reading webcomics and the (few) days I’ve gone to work, I’ve mostly been sleeping. I’m looking forward to the sequel/prequel/whatever-quel - the new comic ;-) and I’m sure it will be terrific!

    And Nik … MANGA?? *sigh* Well, everyone is entitled to their opinions - let me give you mine it’s better than yours … ;-) But seriously, I like the work on this comic, since it is more realistic. EVERYBODY is going toward the “manga” style lately, and I find it rather irritating. It’s so … derivative. People should find their own style, you know? Anyway, as I said, that’s just my opinion, but obviously it’s better than yours … *again, I’m just joking here - it’s my little joke, which I like, because it’s mine*

  42. Vicky Says:

    YAY! YAY! YAY YAY YAY!

    I can’t wait for the sequel… :)

  43. Altair Says:

    Yay! Christmas is tomorrow!

    I’m gonna be here bright and early!

  44. Tanaar Says:

    Its 12:02 AM on December 25! Where’s my comic? Hmm? I demand Last Blood!

    Just kidding. I can be patient. Merry Christmas, Bobby, owen, and all!

  45. Anth Says:

    Merry Christmas everyone. It’s 6:00 am here in England and cold as hell :). Have a good one boys and girls.

  46. Nick (Saint) (or Not) Says:

    Merry Christmas, everyone!

  47. Lazarus Says:

    It’ll be Boxing Day in 30 minutes here in New Zealand. I think were about 18 hours ahead of PST, depending on daylight saving variance.

  48. tog Says:

    aww…. 6:36 santa hasnt delivered the comic… 

  49. Amy Says:

    Merry Christmas from Louisiana. I’m about to go to a family get together and I’m hoping that the page will be up when I get back. Even if it’s not late this is an awesome Christmas Present.

  50. Amy Says:

    up later*

  51. Grym Says:

    Merry Christmas! And happy Kwanzaa (Tomorrow)!

    Can somebody make it 11:59? I suppose I could sleep off the rest of the day…

  52. Bobby Crosby Says:

    This first screenplay page won’t be that great of a present, just to let you know! Most will probably be bored by it.

  53. woothoot Says:

    happy birthday last blood!!!!(merry christmas too)

  54. Diego Nuñez Says:

    Well, if I hadn’t got a Wiiiiiiiii for christmas, this would have been the best Present

  55. Sim^moN Says:

    Merry X-mas to you both, Bobby and Owen!

  56. Krasno Says:

    “Well, if I hadn’t got a Wiiiiiiiii for christmas, this would have been the best Present”

    If they were going to make a videogame out of Last Blood it should be for the Wiiiiiiiii :P
    How awesome would it be to hack and slash zombies as Math, or snipe them as Grady?

  57. Tegu Says:

    THIS IS THE BEST PAGE SO FAR!
