Oh man, the story ends on a cliffhanger? Author Ian has lots of “shine-y” adventures planned, so stay tuned.

Roboticide ensues. But is she getting a little too cocky? A little careless, perhaps?

You’ll have the answer next Monday!

Oooh, scary guy! Thanks to my pal FLA for posing as the scary guy.

Again, there’s some fun dialog in these panels that I wish you could see. Check out that April issue of Previews for “Eleventh Hour Vol. 1” published by Markosia!

Zoom! But what does she spy around the corner that stops her dead in her tracks?

In which Shine super-leaps to school!

I’ve been thinking about light in these pages, how it falls on planes at irregular angles, describes the contour of the subject and casts shadows that do the same.

Panel 3’s Joan Jett poster is for Megan!

“Page … TWO!” - Paul Harvey

What do you think, could this page be a stand-alone story? You have the protagonist (Shine) pursuing a goal (peace and quiet) while being opposed by the antagonist (the elusive alarm clock.) It’s a difficult, sometimes painful challenge (the photo reference for panel 3 was particularly painful - I’m getting too old for this stuff…), but in the end, our hero is the victor.

I wish you had the narration here. More great stuff from writer Ian.
