Here’s the first page of my comic, entitled “Sunk Mind”:

Sunk Mind by Will Cardini page 1, a black-and-white comic with two panels. Panel 1 caption: No thought thought in the history of the universe will ever be lost. Panel 1 image is a head breaking open with a wavy beam of light coming out. Panel 2 caption: Moving like liquid light, they exit the minds of a trillion trillion sentient beings... Panel 2 image is a wavy beam of light moving through space.

Last year I was experimenting with an abstract comic. It was one panel per page and I started each page with a circle in the same spot.

Here’s the first page:

Abstract Test page 1

Mike Getsiv posted the first seven pages on the Abstract Comics blog last October. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it in the future but I might keep adding to it.

The first four pages are already up. Skew will update on Sundays.

Here’s a summary of where we’re at in the story: The hypermollusc has exploded. The fate of the Miizzzard is unknown. Bya the Space Yeti runs towards the burnt chunks of the hypermollusc with the remnant of the slime secretly hitching a ride.
