Hi everybody!

Since I've been making and serially releasing one big linear story for 6 years, it stands to reason that people would need to go back and reread everything to understand what is happening if they fall off. I see people in the comments all the time helping and reminding each other of past plot points, and I get a lot of questions that I can't make time to answer myself, so I've been thinking: even though it's not exactly standard practices even for a serialized story, it makes sense to recap everything that's happened so far for people who want to catch up but don't want to be cyclically reading a 500+ page book. 

But I want to hear from you about the format! Each recap option would be spread out into chunks, and would be released when my schedule doesn't allow me to update the comic as usual, except the third option.

in each case, patreon subscribers would be getting this material about a week ahead of public release.

Any of them seem equally fine, really.

I kind of assumed the comic was wrapping up, meaning this would be a non-issue in the near future anyway. The story feels pretty end-game right now.

you're correct! this is for serial readers and people who are confused. when the story wraps up, I'll definitely want it to be read as a whole, and this kind of supplementary material will be just for fun.
