Insufferable Week 13

Aug 01, 2012

What a friend we have in Twitter. Hope you like the pop-up captions technique, because we use it to what I believe is strong effect in this installment. And, yes, most of those @TheRealGalahad followers are real. They're fans of the series, and this is far from the last time we'll be incorporating live tweets into the installments, so if you want to be part of the next round (and join the Insufferable universe and be in-continuity and EVERYTHING!), start following @TheRealGalahad and we'll seek you out.

  • Insufferable Week 24!
    Oct 17, 2012
    You know, there's a big, BIG clue hanging in the air about who's behind all this villainy...it's been hanging for months now...and NO ONE has picked up on it.  I'm hesitant to say more because it may give the whole thing away, but something Nocturnus did very early on should have raised at least... more

  • Insufferable Week 23!
    Oct 10, 2012
    Up and running-please to leave any comments, thoughts or observations below.  Pete and Nolan both knocked themselves out this week especially. Me, I'm leaving for the New York Comicon in 15 minutes and will be in Artist's Alley at booth H-18 ? stop by and say hello if you're there, and be among the... more

  • Insufferable Week 21!
    Sep 26, 2012
    Almost have the Thrillbent site back up as promised.  We were hacked HARD, says Lori-tons of images deleted, it's just a mess, and everyone (including our new hosting service) is doing Herculean work to get it all put back together, but in the meantime, we're not gonna leave you hanging for your... more

  • Insufferable Week 20!
    Sep 19, 2012
    Okay!  New Thrillbent server locked in, construction almost complete, loading it up with one or two NEW free weekly series in ADDITION to Insufferable-plan to launch next week, will keep you all posted.  Thanks for your boundless patience!  In the meantime, so you can get your fix, here are direct... more

  • INSUFFERABLE Week 19!
    Sep 12, 2012
    We appreciate your patience.  The Thrillbent site is being moved to a different, far more secure server this week now that we've been Hacker Bait three times, so there's no on-line reading until it's up again-but in the meantime, you can still get your direct-download fix of this week's installment... more

  • INSUFFERABLE Week 18!
    Sep 05, 2012
    Up now and free to read at Thrillbent.  Thanks to writer Tom Peyer for suggesting this week's one sweet moment of father/son bonding. It's a nice sentiment.

  • INSUFFERABLE Week 17!
    Aug 29, 2012
    Up and available to read right now at Thrillbent! Various threads are beginning to weave into a giant tapestry of crime and danger, and by the end of this installment, you may be able to suss out some of the Master Plan. We're thick into Act Two.

  • Wait, INSUFFERABLE WEEK 16 is WHERE...?
    Aug 22, 2012
    Thrillbent got hacked, so we're down for a bit while we do maintenance. However, lest we deny you your weekly fix, here are direct-download links to this week's Insufferable installment: PDF, CBZ

  • Insufferable Week 16
    Aug 22, 2012
    Up on Thrillbent right now.  I have to admit, I really do have mixed feelings about Galahad, and my opinion of him changes from week to week. In some ways, I'm still trying to figure him out; I thought I knew him and what makes him tick, and then he quite literally starts saying things that I... more

  • Insufferable Week 14
    Aug 08, 2012
    And we're live with this week's installment. Who IS after Nocturnus and Galahad? Who knows this much about them? How do we get Troy Peteri to letter so much each week for so little money?

  • Insufferable Week 13

  • Insufferable Week 12
    Jul 25, 2012
    And we lurch into what is roughly Act Two of our little dramedy, though don't hold us tightly to that-right now, the team and I are having great fun following these characters down some unexpectedly windy roads, so much so that we're in no rush to get to Act Three.  Nor am I positively sure that... more

  • Insufferable Week 10
    Jul 04, 2012
    I know Ed Brubaker's disappointed. He thought it would be funnier than this. But we're way, way off the map. That's what doing an adventure/crime story as a weekly serial creates-an awful lot of chances to turn and swerve and, in general, fling the original map out the window and just drive.

  • Insufferable Week 9
    Jun 27, 2012
    Up now. If you think you understand the dynamic we're establishing between Nocturnus and Galahad...fooled you.

  • Insufferable Week 8 is up--
    Jun 20, 2012
    -and, see? Didn't I warn you that there would be dark to balance the light? It was Pete's idea to cram Nocturnus into a sidecar, by the way. Really good. I love how uncomfortable Pete makes him look. Also, reminder to self-we need to sit down soon and catalogue exactly what that Battle Staff can... more

  • By request: Some Thrillbent Webstats
    Jun 12, 2012
    Thrillbent has been up about six weeks. Several Forum members, fellow webcomics creators and Twitterers have asked about some of the site stats, so FWIW, here’s what we’ve seen.  This will be dull for most of you but spellbinding to data nerds like myself, trust me. On average, visitors spend 3... more

  • Insufferable Week Four: Thank You, Adobe
    May 23, 2012
    Insufferable Week Four is now up at Thrillbent.  Check it out, tell your friends.  By now, it should be becoming obvious that one of the creative decisions Peter Krause and I made about the series is a veritable gift to our letterer, Troy Peteri–because we didn’t want either Nocturnus or Galahad to... more

  • And we are LIVE!
    May 01, 2012
    THRILLBENT is live as of noon EST today–meaning now! And, on a personal note, it couldn’t have been done without the support of my family (Christy, Grace and Rob) and certainly not without Lori Matsumoto riding herd on everyone and everything. And John Rogers pushing me off the cliff. Thanks to all... more

  • How to read THRILLBENT COMICS!
    May 01, 2012
    THRILLBENT IS LIVE! How do you engage this brave new world of comics?!   Go to http://www.thrillbent.com/ Click on the title you want to read. Turn the pages with your arrow keys.  Just like pages.  Left and right.* Done. … Well, that was anticlimactic. ******************************* Which is, of... more

  • Installment One
    Apr 26, 2012
    And now, after all of yesterday’s analysis of how you can make chapters work in eight to ten screens, you’ll find on May 1 that you have every right to say to me, “So then how come the first chapter of Insufferable clocks in at 23 screens?” This is why, and it’s a reflection of my long-held... more

  • The Installment Plan
    Apr 25, 2012
    One of the earliest decisions made regarding THRILLBENT was that it would feature serialized stories. That seemed like a no-brainer; after all, I’ve been writing serial fiction all my adult life. Easy transition, right? Ha. When it comes to story installments, all my storytelling rhythms are set to... more

  • The Thrillbent announcement: audio
    Apr 17, 2012
    Thanks to my lovely better half Christina, here’s the audio from the C2E2 announcement of Thrillbent.  It’s an hour-eight, so it may take a bazillion years to download, but it’s worth it just to hear Peter Krause’s dulcet tones. Thrillbent at C2E2!
