This book is the culmination of years of patreon comics, and to celebrate its completion, I even commissioned an animated trailer! <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='501' height='367' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxPCTh8ebPt3RRF5zqWw7LOspop-UtA2lb_Qa394RPdRNckzJ-f3d7RuO-iVkHfADgeZXIM9UW_kwpWNwO_RQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><p>Griz Grobus tells two parallel, intertwined tales from the far-off
colony world of Altamira. There, high in a sleepy mountain village, the
overzealous academic ambitions of a young scribe lead to the
resurrection of the town’s ancient colonial-era priest-bot. This
long-defunct pastor finds himself in a world that has passed him by, but
refuses to simply accept his obsolescence, much to the chagrin of the
scribe and the local townsfolk. The second story is Altamira’s most
famous novel (being avidly read by the characters of the first story), a
fantasy tale about a war-god who gets trapped in the body of a goose,
and the efforts of one pacifist cook to delay the war-god’s bloody
return to the battlefield. </p>
<p>Set in the same sci-fi universe as HABITAT (Image Comics, 2016), Griz
Grobus is another tale of life after the collapse of interstellar
empire. But unlike Habitat, where a once utopian orbital habitat found
itself descending into cannibal tyranny, the characters of Griz Grobus
are on the rural world of Altamira, where post-utopian frontier life has
blossomed into something a bit more wholesome.</p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-QauukjrsSO9IyKa8HmDLyp8Bx0XPZij3hlAR_hNoRUOyWCHJpllDo9Tr8qHvbzM2RXP-6lbYJibw0_MupeEHCjwGL-pD9KY6q-Vse7kpgFNLBGsc3D70q6-HT_XKtm8uo8bBC_Ufg3L9kcVzdzrxq9Y977GwJQisDoOMcj6oPM0ZE0v6Ai9GPwcqw/s2504/griz-grobus-pamphlet-mark-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

For LO - a kickstarter, for the book I've been serializing on my <a href="https://www.patreon.com/simonroy" target="_blank">Patreon </a>(co-written and drawn by my friend Damon Gentry) has sprung forth from the damp neglected soil of the internet! From our descriptor of the book:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>The first story of this book, <span class="text-italic"><span class="bold">BLACK SPOT</span></span> (<a href="https://invademyprivacy.com/main/black-spot/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">preview the whole chapter here</a>), was written in the long-ago year of 2015 by Simon and Damon. <span class="text-italic">BLACK SPOT</span>
told of an eco-terrorist attack, spiraling out of control on an
experimental corporate bio-fuel facility floating in Jupiter's Upper
atmosphere. But in writing <span class="text-italic">BLACK SPOT</span>
together, Simon and Damon found a tone they were keen to revisit. Pulpy
sci-fi adventure, escalating unintended consequences leading to
catastrophe, wry satire and pure dumbass goofery all come together to
make 175 pages of adult-oriented comics entertainment. Originally
serialized from 2019 onwards on Simon’s Patreon, <span class="text-italic"><span class="bold">GRIP OF THE KOMBINAT</span></span>
is equal parts Coen Brothers, Paul Verhoeven, and idiotic humor. The
seven tales span myriad sub-genres - we’ve got a heist story, a legal
drama, a tale of stockholm syndrome, espionage, romance, and most of
all, a consistent theme of the desperate quest for approval from
disinterested authority figures!</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dgent/grip-of-the-kombinat-hardcover-gn" target="_blank">So hop on over to THIS LINK here and take a look!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This past week, I kicked off a Patreon devoted to comics! The sales pitch is thus: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #052d49; font-size: 16px;">Every month, you'll get five to ten pages of comics: usually one-off stories, but I aim to work up to longer, continuing tales as well. All of the content here will begin as Patreon-exclusive, but eventually migrate onto the printed page as well. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #052d49; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #052d49; font-size: 16px;">For the higher tier, I'll share more developmental work from previous projects, as well as the ghosts of some of my most beloved but long since deceased ones. Everything from scripts, layouts, and sketches, all the way up to entire comic pages! "</span></span><div>

FIRST - Ray Sullivan's adaptation of "Good Business", the short of mine that first came out in Heavy Metal Magazine, recently dropped - and it looks amazing! Ray and his team did a beyond-awesome job with it all.<br />
<br />
SECOND, I did an interview with the awesome Aaron Williams for his "Comics Manifest" Podcast - which is a podcast i honestly wish had been around when i was getting my start in the comics game. He really pushes for positive and constructive thinking, and does one hell of a good interview!<br />

<br />
THIRD: I've been posting a ton of art on Instagram, including some disturbing sexy video-game art, which can all be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/simonamroy/<br />
<br />
FOURTH: My last convention of the year (as far as i know now) will be the Magnificent Boise Library Convention, at the end of August - where I'll be with Jess Pollard, Farel Dalrymple, and a ton of other fun folks! Hopefully I'll see you then!<br />

A couple of pages from a story called “Come Away, Child” I have in this month’s issue of Star Trek: Waypoint - all about two scientists having a classic prime directive dilemma! </div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I grew up as a Star Wars fanatic, which for kids is much more immersive and compelling then the awkward forehead-makeup universe of Trek. But once I found myself in adulthood, Star Trek rang much truer then SW’s hollow merchandise-driven adventures. Though Trek has it’s own trashy baggage (and shitty new movies), I find it full of profundity and inspiration.</div>

Inspired by <a href="http://malachiward.blogspot.ca/2016/08/ancestor-oct-19.html">the ceaselessly industrious Matt and Malachi's efforts</a>, I've put together a flyer to help encourage retailers to buy up Habitat when it comes out! With pull quotes from two of the greats!<br />
<br />
Get your local comic book shop to snap it up, using this code - AUG160697 - or even <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Habitat-Roy-Simon/dp/163215885X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471492269&sr=8-1&keywords=habitat+simon+roy">pre-grab it on Amazon</a>, to read at your future leisure!<br />
<br />
Plus its foolishly priced at ten bucks, for easy purchasability! WE MUST BE CRAZY TO SELL AT THESE PRICES!<br />

“All his life, Hank Cho wanted to join the ranks of the Habsec-the rulers of the orbital habitat his people call home. But when he finds a powerful, forbidden weapon from the deep past, a single moment of violence sets his life-and the brutal society of the habitat-into upheaval. Hunted by the cannibalistic Habsec and sheltered by former enemies, Cho finds himself caught within a civil war that threatens to destroy his world.</div>

You bet it is! I was working on a lost time-colony of bronze-age humans in the Late Cretaceous period for ages before I finally figured out how to work them into a novel about intercultural romance and the difference between power and strength (buy it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018UD6DH2/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a>!) I had the whole shebang: <a href="http://www.thekingdomsofevil.com/?p=1947" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">languages</a>, population genetics, rituals, and of course religion. Ahem.<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14.5667px;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
The people on the timeline called "Maastrichtia" are most likely the descendants of an apocalyptic cult that stole a time machine and went back to the time of the Chixulub Impact about 65 million years ago. It's that "about" that turned out to be the problem. Their time machine was only accurate to a margin of error of .01 million years, and it dumped them out more than five thousand years before the impact.<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14.5667px;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
In the subsequent millennia, most vestiges of the cultists original religion have vanished. The Maastrichtians have adopted a number of belief systems, most only vaguely Abrahamic.<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14.5667px;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
The Ethlek tribes who herd triceratops around the alluvial plains at the site of the first colony believe their land itself is God. To the west are the forested hills of God's Brows and to the east the sea, his eye. He sends his angels up to live on his face as humans, animals, plants, and some natural features. This monotheism evolving into animism by way of reincarnation and ancestor-worship is common on Maastrichtia.<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14.5667px;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
The Memorialist church of the polar sea civilizations has a conservative approach. They believe God left the universe in the charge of angels, many of which forgot their duties and became demons. Demons control the destructive storm or the hungry mosasaur, but angels live in reliquaries and may be made to do work. Some reliquaries are called radios, others steam engines or arc lights. These miracles are kept, maintained, and very rarely reproduced by the priesthood, their secrets hidden lest they become corrupted and turn into demons. In the Thalassocracy on the north coast of North America, Memorialist dogma exists side-by-side with an animist tradition where totem animals and nature spirits patronize social organizations like warrior societies (ankylosaur, mosasaur, etc) priestly orders (troodon etc) and political parties (magnolia etc).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
When confronted by time travelers from the 21st century, the Memorialists look at high-tech soldiers and think, "powerful entities we must enslave lest they become demons." The Ethlek think, "Aha. An opportunity!"</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.4px;">Former soldier Andrea Herrera isn’t happy with where her life’s taken her. Specifically, to Hell Creek, Montana, 65 million years before the present. As far as careers go, making sure the dinosaurs don’t eat her paleontologist clients comes in a pretty dismal second choice to serving her country. But when their time machine malfunctions, Andrea and her team are trapped in a timeline that shouldn’t exist with something a hell of a lot more dangerous than terrible lizards: other humans.</span></div>

Cut off from help, the programmer and the biologist must cooperate not only to survive, but to understand the hostile wilderness. Where did these self-replicating robots come from?
