Reclaimer - A Halo 3 Comic

Two additional things I’d like to point out in relation to today’s strip:

1) Those of you with sharp eyes may have noticed that I’m using a new font starting today.  It’s called Creative Block and can be downloaded from Blambot for free.  I went on a hunt for a good comic-style font yesterday.  I’d used Comic Sans Serif in the first two pages but wasn’t completely satisfied with the look.  I also don’t really have the spare cash right now to purchase one or two of the more professional comic book fonts, but there are really quite a few nice-looking free ones out there.  Creative Block is very suitable for this type of comic.  It’s not too cartoony, but it’s not too ‘real life,’ either.  I also used a font called Blam Blam available from Blambot, as well, for the impact frame, but I’m not completely happy with that font, either.  The font I really wanted to use will cost me $20 to buy, and may well be something I purchase later on.  For now, though, I’ll experiment with some free fonts and play with balloons to find a look I like.

2) Dark Tower fans will recognize some verbiage from Ferial at the end of today’s strip.  It’s an homage to that epic series and quiet shout-out to my fellow Gunslingers.  You can be certain it won’t be the last DT reference you’ll see in Reclaimer.
