Yes well we all knew she had it coming after all that sleazy leather/spandex/PVC wearing…or is she? Tune in same bat time!
Okay, I know what this looks like but theres a reason why the FX is “RATATATA” and not “K-BOOM *KERCHACK*”. This is because the pages are done in batches and currently every time Bern shoots someone with the shotgun, the FX will be “RATATATA”, as I said before this WILL be changed.
This almost brings up page 40. I’m so close to that magical 50 pages I can almost taste it! Looking forward to doing the next 50 pages too!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m going to do a very very small print run of the first two issues primarily to sell at the 2010 UK Webcomix Thing. If there are any left over, I’ll let you know but because of the small volumes availible there may not be any left to sell to you guys. Still though, if you do want one and want to tell me how much you’d pay for a 54 page, A5 B&W perfect bound book then let me know by voting below!
Oh, also, please do not forget to vote! This is crucial to keep Hard Graft in the public eye and to attract new readers which means a bigger HG community chatting and bickering about stuff and so on! So please vote and visit the links above!!!
EDIT: Forgot to say but please vote WebcomicZ and visit Webcomicplanet. Every vote & visit raises the profile of Hard Graft and pulls in more readers to enjoy this work. It is utterly important so please remember to do it each time you visit
If you ain’t got a shaped charge and you can’t get in via any other way you either blow the door off with a shotgun…or you shouldn’t even be going in that way in the first place. This introduces a nice bit of CQB (Close Quarter Battle) which I have gleamed off of various people. I had wanted to use a shaped frame charge al la Princes Gate in the 1980s but as there probably aren’t that many windows on this building that are intact, it wouldn’t have had the desired effect.
Thus, I used the next best thing which is removing a door via a shotgun. I’m a fan of it and so are the SAS so that is good enough for me.
Went to the Nottingham Beer Festival this weekend past and had a merry time of it. Lots and lots of different ales and ciders were around and there were a great selection of Porters and Milds which I really liked.
I’ll post more later, in the meantime, enjoy!
Alan loves a bit of DAKKA DAKKA (or to be more accurate BRAKKA BRAKKA or BRAAAAAAAAAAKA). Do you?
This marks the start of our third big action scene, this time showing how well two people can do if they make intelligent use of firepower and surprise. Note that Bern has already got herself in position as Alan mops up the rest of the guards!
In other news the WebComic Readers Choice Awards 2009 have started in earnest in the nominations stage! Its being hosted on webcomicplanet.com and as in previous years competition is stiff.

Also, was interviewed by the good chaps at TGT Webcomics podcast! It was a great interview and I was slightly tipsy though as I had been out previously drinking the safe return of one of my flatmates. Check it out anyway!
