March 15, 2024: A Look Ahead

Posted on March 15, 2024 by VARULV

Issue #2 goes into production

Hi, everyone!

As they say — when you finish a book, you’ve got 10 percent of the work done. To that end, I’ve certainly kept busy since wrapping our premiere issue and this week, the first pages of issue #2 hit my art desk.

First thing’s first — updates will resume on Friday, April 5th! I’m also moving into a weekly comic update schedule, aiming to post three pages every Friday. I appreciate those of you who reached out to me and asked about daily updates, and while I can’t accommodate a timeframe that rigorous, I can easily go from updating six pages every other week, to this new schedule.

Next, to those of you who ordered Issue #1 — the books are being printed as we speak! Due to the massive success that was our pre-order promotion, I managed to score premium covers for these limited edition books. Not only are they being produced with sturdier 100lb stock covers, but they’ll be set against a super-rad silver foil background! Along with my signature, I’ll individually number each one, making them that much more collectible!

Digital editions of the book are also selling well! I’ll be using the proceeds of those and what’s left over from our pre-sale to print standard “floppy” editions of the book, so those of you who meet me at comic conventions this summer can get a physical edition if you want one! Can’t meet me at a convention? No problem! We’re partnering with our old friends, IndyPlanet, to have printed editions available for order, worldwide!

So that’s everything to report on, this week! Once again, thank you for your readership and support! As always, I’d love an honest review over on Amazon if you could spare a minute (you didn’t have to buy the book there to review), and if you want to connect with myself and other fans of the series, why not join our mailing list and get access to our Discord, as well? We’d love to have you!

Until next time, pals!

March 8, 2024: Digital Editions of Varulv Now Available

Posted on March 8, 2024 by VARULV

Get them for all your devices!

Hey everyone!

This week, I’m happy to announce that Varulv #1 is now available in PDF and MOBI formats over on our Gumroad page. If you’re like me, you love the convenience of having your comics in a digital format. And, like me, you probably prefer to have your digital copies on your own storage. With that in mind, our Gumroad store has you covered!

Download Varulv #1 Here!

Also, for those of you who picked up the limited edition of Varulv #1, they are on their way to the printer as we speak. I sent out a survey to my orderers and am happy to announce that we’re doing a kickass foil cover for these books. They are going to look super-primo and I couldn’t be more excited to get them to you guys. And yes, regular “floppy” editions of the comic will soon be available to purchase, as well. Stay tuned.

Production on the next books has been started and I hope to fill these update pages in the coming weeks with further snapshots of that, as well as the aforementioned character profile pages and tweaks here and there on the site design in general. Hope you like where things have gone, thus far.

Anyway, that’s all for now, pals! Have a great weekend and thank you for the support!

The final Pages of Issue #1, 19-24, Updated!

Greetings and salutations, friends! Today marks the last update of Varulv’s first issue! Thanks for hanging out with me over the last two months. There is so much more to come!

That said, we’ll have a bit of a break as it pertains to comic updates here on the website, but fear not — I have lots to do to keep you guys interested as I work on the next issue.

On the agenda first and foremost, are dedicated character profiles. I also want to strike out and update the old Wiki pages over on Fandom, since that’s been one of the best resources I’ve found to keep track of all the lore as I (re)write it. I also will have some layout updates to the website as a whole, to aid in navigating the site.

So, there’s a lot of work ahead of me, but a lot of exciting things to come as well. I’m really looking forward to bringing you more of the story in a few weeks’ time!

Hey all!

Just a note to let you know that I will be closing the VARULV Pre-Orders on Thursday, February 29th!

That said, I wanted to thank you for the support for this pre-order! It’s definitely been wonderful seeing the popularity of the series hitting an all-time high again!

February 16, 2024: VARULV Book 1, Chapter 3

Posted on February 17, 2024 by VARULV

Pages 13-18 Updated

Hey gang, and happy weekend to you all! Today’s VARULV update means we only have one more before Book 1 is finished. It’s wild to think how far we have come in just a few weeks, but I hope you’re enjoying the new series as much I have enjoyed bringing it to you guys!

Six new pages are up tonight, and we’ve reached a very important milestone in any series’ initial run — the entire main cast has now been introduced and assmbled! Kit joins the team this week, and there are further revelations about Ulven physiology and what it means to join a pack of werewolves in the Northlands.

In other news, merchandise is also on the horizon, and I should have some updates on that in the coming days! Enjoy the update in the meantime, and see you with more comics in two weeks!

February 9, 2024: VARULV Classic Updates

Posted on February 9, 2024 by VARULV

The Final Classic Issues (2013): 7, 8 and 9 Are Now Available in the VARULV Classic Archives

Hey guys! Uploading the new VARULV Classic stuff today marks the end of VARULV Classic content. I hate leaving things on cliffhangers, but I’m afraid that’s how it went down, back in 2013 when these stories were first published.

So what happened?

Back when I was first doing the VARULV series, I was living with my husband in Ohio, preparing to take on more comic book work when I got a call from my parents. It was then I found out that my mother had cancer, and I made the decision to pack up everything and move back home to Pennsylvania. I became quite busy that year, and 2014 was full of highs and lows. Sadly, my mom eventually passed away, but my husband and I were fortunate to have a ray of sunshine come from behind that cloud in the form of our daughter, who was born right before mom’s passing.

When they say there are times in your life where you can cut the whole thing in half from what is and what was, I truly understand what that means, now. The year 2014 was like that for me. I came in as one person and left as a wholly different one. Unfortunately, most of my comic work didn’t come with me. But things are different now, and I am glad that I am able to reboot VARULV with the same amount of excitement it enjoyed in years past. To that end, I hope you all have enjoyed looking back on what was, and are looking forward to what will be.

And I understand that some of you will definitely feel cheated, not knowing what happens on several fronts at Issue #9’s abrupt conclusion. So with that in mind, read on only if you want to hear about what might have been, if the series had been able to continue a decade ago…

The following is not canon to the new storyline, but has the potential to be spoilery as it remains a source of inspiration to the overarching VARULV plotline. Read with caution!

Posted on February 1, 2024 by VARULV

Pages 7-12 Updated

Well met, friendos. It’s time once again for another VARULV update!

I’ve got six new pages for you guys, today, introducing some new characters and just moving the story along into the heart of the plot. Expect at least one more multi-page update to come in the month of February (and with any luck, expect two more).

There’s more rad stuff on the horizon, as well. I’ll be doing a few conventions this summer, and I’ve already started to look at merch and prints. More on that groovy stuff, soon.

Next week, look forward to the final installment of VARULV Classic!

January 26, 2024: VARULV Classic Updates

Posted on January 26, 2024 by VARULV

Issues 5 & 6 (2012) Are Now Available in the VARULV Classic Archives

Welcome again, gentle reader, to an update centered around another addition to the VARULV history books. Today, I have collected back-issues #5 & #6 of the original VARULV series for your reading enjoyment.

This story arc is an interesting one for several reasons. Introducing new characters is always fun, and in these old books, readers got introduced to four major players in the VARULV canon: Keni Nefertari, Alo Koruh, Tau Feng, and Wyn. This is also the first time VARULV was produced in color, and became serialized weekly, online. Needless to say, the art style is quite different from what came before (and what was to come, after), as the author was still trying to work out a look that was feasible for her to cram into an already crowded schedule, as a weekly webcomic.

As with most things in these archival pieces, the current canon is going to differ significantly from what can be gleaned from this story. That said, please enjoy this walk down memory lane:

January 20, 2024: VARULV Book 1, Chapter 1

Posted on January 20, 2024 by VARULV

Pages 1-6 Updated

Well what do you know — it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the first update to VARULV’s relaunch, here on varulvcomic.com!

I’d say it’s been a long time coming, but you already knew all that, so I’ll start by apologizing for the randomness in updates to follow. I’m taking 2024 as an opportunity to get less systematic with the things I do for fun and get back to… you know… doing them for fun. And that includes my comic books and not strapping them to a rock-solid schedule. With all that said, I want to get several pages out to you guys, at least once a month, and hope to have a print edition of the first book in the works before spring time. I’m also going to be doing some comic shows this summer, so you might even expect to see things like merchandise, hi-res PDF editions, and original art for sale.

So here it is, what some of you have been waiting for, for a very long time, begins now. I hope you enjoy the new stuff. I hope the old stuff makes you nostalgic. And I guess as always — just happy to have you guys along for the ride!

January 13, 2024: VARULV Classic Issues

Posted on January 13, 2024 by VARULV

Hey guys,

Just spent the morning porting the first four issues of VARULV from a hundred years ago (okay, more like 13 years ago…) over here. So, those of you who have been asking to see those – rejoice! They’re here:

Click Here to Check out VARULV Classic

If there’s interest, I’ll upload the remaining issues, too. And fear not — if you don’t feel like taking a trip down memory lane, there’s no need. The new VARULV updates are going to be a complete rehashing of the old stories, and different in a lot of significant ways. Therefore, these are presented here as a preservation of the series’ history, and are in no way going to affect the current canon. Enjoy!
