Section 1.7 commences

Hey, did I mention that school's over? Time to crank up the comic page output! Hurray!

The last chapter of Unit 1 officially starts with the title page and the first three pages.

It's the beginning of the month, which means vote counts reset! So please enter your votes at Topwebcomics and Buzzcomix to see younger versions of Xin and Libelle, respectively, because they count even moreso at this time. :D And as always, feel free to submit your requests for other vote incentive pictures.

And just so you know, you have the next three weeks to pre-ordering Unit 1 in order to receive a bonus sketch with the book! After the pre-ordering period, book orders will not come with a bonus sketch, so be sure to pre-order before it's too late!

Whoa. Zephan wielding that giant battle-axe is pretty scary. Adaping to more barbaric means of monster genocide, eh? Can't wait. ;_;

OMG wowzaa and hurray the last chapter of Unit 1 :D I'm excited especially with this new upcoming battle that is about to happen! SQUEEE!!

Hmm i wonder where Auden is? And will we see more of Mei-chan? hehe ^_^

Yay an update! I like Auden's clothes on the cover, though they seem a tad bit too shiny for me. I still like them though. :) And where'd Zephan get the axe from anyway? Not that I'm complaining though. His weapons need variation. ^_^

The incentives are really cute as well! I didn't know Xin was an artist, and Libelle looked so icy even as a kid. Now all we need are kid pics of Zephan, Ryan, Auden, and Chrystelle, and then I'll be really really happy. ^_^

Hooray! It's an update!

Eeeeeeee!! Little Xin is so cuuuuute!!

"And where'd Zephan get the axe from anyway?" my thought exactly.

But then again where it comes from doesn't really matter. It's a very descriptive symbol about what he thinks is the appropriate action.

Great story so far, I'll be back eagerly for next update.

I second the pretty shiny clothes on the cover (and top hats are always good!). Whose shoes are those in page 3? Hmm. Guess we'll find out next update ^^

Posted by: Senna | Jun 1, 2006 8:28 AM

Ooooh, the suspense! What on earth are Luka, Douglas and co. up to? And are those Claudia's feet on the last page? Hmmm. Auden's looking good on that cover.

This week's vote incentives are adorable. Xin drawing = AWWWWW. And Libelle is pretty much a tinier version of the present one. Mini-Libelle. The dragonfly hair accessory looks enormous compared to her head. XDDDD

Oooh! Axe! This is going to be good.

I do believe those are Mei's socks (and feet...) on the last page if anybody was wondering... *goes to find a page with her socks*... http://directionsofdestiny.com/story/01.6/27.htm

yep, those are her feetsies (....of course feetsies is a word).

Posted by: Sara | Jun 1, 2006 11:59 AM

Oh em gee! That that was unexpected! Loved Zephan's reaction. Can't wait until the next update!
I like Auden's hat. :3 Plus mini-Xin is quite the kawaiiness!

The title page makes me want to ******. It's so amazing. Yay for you being almost done the book!

And the kiddies are cute.

Posted by: Jeesiang | Jun 1, 2006 12:26 PM

YAY! DoD is #11 on Topwebcomics! that makes me really happy for some reason!

Posted by: kingbob | Jun 1, 2006 1:21 PM

are you going to do a younger version of Mei? that would be really cool..

Posted by: shirl | Jun 1, 2006 1:31 PM

Eee, it's getting more exciting (:

Question! Anyone can answer this if they know ^_^; In the Directions of Destiny book, are the title pages going to be in color or black and white? The color ones are really pretty ._.;

Posted by: Ashley | Jun 1, 2006 1:46 PM

...oh yeah, and when am I getting moi prints?

Posted by: Esther | Jun 1, 2006 2:29 PM

OoOo and axe!! i dont know which suites him better axe or sword hmmm oh well. I like the title page its really cool. Does Auden still lost his memory??

Posted by: Pauline | Jun 1, 2006 3:25 PM

Update: Grats on breaking the top 10 on TWC. :P

Posted by: Blegah | Jun 1, 2006 3:26 PM

Geez, what a huge axe! I never knew Zeph could be so violent! XD Gah, cliffhangers! Who's timid little voice was that?! Update ASAP!

Posted by: Infinity | Jun 1, 2006 4:49 PM

I voted enough times on Topwebcomics to get DOD in the top ten. Yay!

Posted by: Hanh | Jun 1, 2006 5:31 PM

Yup. Those are definitely Mei's feetsies but what is she uming about? And why is there rubble in the background? Maybe she's already trying to fight the monsters and something went wrong so Zephan gonna be a hero and jump in and save the day with his axe-a-doodle.

Posted by: Hanh | Jun 1, 2006 5:37 PM

=O Its #11 on TopWebComics and #7 on Buzzcomix! ^squeals^ This is like 30 places up from a few weeks ago!

Posted by: Esther | Jun 1, 2006 5:43 PM

The book will be completely in black-and-white--sorry! D: Having colour pages would make the printing cost skyrocket, and I figured most people would rather not pay more than the price of retail manga for something they could read for free (legally!) online.

AND OH MY GOD YOU GUYS THANKS FOR VOTING FOR MY COMIC IT IS EXCITING TO SEE IT WITHIN THE TOP 10 TEEHEE ♥

Posted by: Hans Tseng | Jun 1, 2006 8:27 PM

Alrighty ^_^ Thanks.

I'm surprised you weren't in the top ten beforehand xP

Posted by: Ashley | Jun 1, 2006 9:17 PM

Ah Hans! So sry i keep forgetting to pre-order! I just got out of finals yesterday! It was horrible! But its good to hear your out of school as well. Happy to see a new installment up and I will get that order in I promise! Lol see ya!

Posted by: Cindycindy | Jun 1, 2006 9:46 PM

What if... a purchaser would be willing to pay extra for color pages? Or at least get them in a color 'poster'-book? You could even sell them as extra--a side book, of sorts. Afterall, comics often put together a book full of the covers or jackets that the comic title had used when it initially published in issues.

PS: Xin is ADORABLE! So is Libelle! And I'm guessing from the hints that either something will happen to them or they will do something important.

PPS: You did get my order?

Posted by: AKung | Jun 2, 2006 1:44 PM

Ah, so it's Mei's feet. She has such cute socks. :3

WOE, I AM BROKE. :'< So I shall vote furiously for DoD on TWC and BuzzComix to make up for it!! *__*

Posted by: rainey | Jun 2, 2006 2:18 PM

I remember wearing socks like that when I was five. I miss being five. Good times, good times...

Posted by: Hanh | Jun 3, 2006 3:57 PM

All I ever really wear anymore are flip flops and if not that flats so I haven't worn socks in awhile. It makes me sad. :(

Posted by: Hanh | Jun 5, 2006 8:37 AM

Is it just me or does Auden look different?

Posted by: Hanh | Jun 6, 2006 2:02 PM

Hans, have you sent my prints yet? I want to get it by the 17th (my birthday).
