Believe it or not, the Reon Quest universe is actually derived from a series of comics my cousin and I have been drawing for quite some time now (that's why it's so developed and filled with complex and thought provoking characters :P). We just started updating our website with some of our favorite comics we've done over the years, and I thought you guys might be interested in seeing them, seeing as you've become familiar with the Reon World through the couple of games that I've made. Anyway, without further ado, here is:
Reon Comic #1: Draco 4 President! (http://slug4brainsstudio.com/best-of-the-strip/draco-4-president/)

Sorry, the images are super huge due to scanning, etc.
...anyway if you guys want, I can keep updating this thread with our latest comics. It'll be awhile 'till Episode 3 is ready to showcase, so I guess this could help fill that Draco shaped void we know you're all harboring in your hearts! :-D
Reon Quest... the next Sam & Max? Has one of you given / sold eternal rights of it to the other?!

Next Sam and Max? Well one can dream... ;) Perhaps if we keep at it! We've already got a comic and an episodic adventure game series, so we're on our way!
Well in the nitty gritty, we each own the rights characters that we created, but if one of us were to quit and take our characters with them, the series would be pretty much fractured/ruined. Just curious, why do you ask?

Because (if I remember rightly) Sam & Max was something that Steve Purcell and his brother drew, and one day for some reason his brother got fed up with it and gave all rights to Steve. (I think they were still kids at the time.) He kept going with it and, well, now the Freelance Police are legendary!

Well, let's hope that it doesn't take something like that for Reons to succeed! Have no fear we're both quite invested in the series! (nod)
Anyway, we should be posting a new comic in the coming days, so if you like this one, we'll be sure to update!
I particularly liked #4 in the Bill of Draco :-D
It's a little difficult to read here and there, any plans to pen over your artwork before scanning for future ones? (On a copy not your original, obviously... :P)
ooooooh! I'm back from the dead! oooooooh! :P
So Cooper and I got to spend a good amount of time together this summer, and have crafted a looong Reon Comic called the
