Hiatus Continues - New PDFs (or CBZ/CBR) Available & A New Minxy

If you ninja flip over to our store section, you'll see that Issue 2 is now available as a high resolution PDF (and CBR and CBZ). This digital download version of Issue 2 includes three pages of pre-production sketches and notes with commentary by Jessica. We've also updated the Issue 1 PDF to version 2, which includes all the updated art, plus an additional page of bonus sketches and commentary (if you already purchased the Issue 1 PDF, you'll be able to download the new version for free).

Here's an example of how much higher quality the digital download versions of the comic are compared to the pages we host on this site:

As we were assembling the digital download of Issue 2, we gave the comic a final lookover and decided that Minxy wasn't looking quite right in her first appearance. So Jessica gave her an update, taking a little inspiration from some "totally outrageous" '80s cartoons.

However, she won't typically be sporting that sort of makeup. She's just dolled up that way for the music video.

Our hiatus isn't quite over yet, but we're getting there. And just so you know, we don't ever intend to go on another extended hiatus like this again. Once we resume updating the comic, we plan to keep going until it's done. Of course we'll probably take a week off here and there when things get too hectic, but nothing even close to the half-year break we've been on now. If you wanna be notified as soon as this hiatus ends, you can sign up for our mailing list and we'll shoot you an email once Issue 3 begins.

New Character School Pictures, Plus a FAQ.

Jessica Safron School Photo

Jessica was never satisfied with her previous "school photo" she had on the site, so she redrew it, resulting in the way better one you see above. She's also reworked some of the character's school photos (like finally updating the hair on Sam), and added a bunch of new ones, like this one of Alex's sister and Veronica's best friend, Heather:

You can check 'em all out on the About the Characters page.

Now that we've done some conventions and talked to a lot of people about Satan Ninja 198X, we've gotten enough recurring questions to put together a FAQ. So you can check our FAQ out here, which includes a big list of some of the '80s stuff that inspired our comic.

As we prepare to come off our hiatus, we'll be making some more changes and updates to the website. There's also some totally rad stuff that's been going on behind the scenes, but it's stuff that we can't talk about just yet. But soon!

Death on a Hoverboard & Satan Ninja News

Biggest Problem in the Universe Death Ridding Hoverboard

The newest episode of our favorite podcast, The Biggest Problem in the Universe, came out today, and the mega-rad thumbnail image for the episode was drawn by Jessica. It also happens to be one of the best episodes of the podcast, so you should totally give it a listen.

So you might be thinking, "Gee, Adam, that's a neat image and all, but when the hell are we getting new pages of Satan Ninja?"

Don't worry, Jessica's been bustin' her hot ass on Satan Ninja art. Not only are we working on Issue 3, but we've got some other top secret Satan Ninja-related projects in the works, which will be unveiled in the next month or so. I'm also doing one final re-write of my horror novel, which should be ready for me to publish just in time for the spooky season.

I know things have been pretty quiet on this website lately, but that's just because we've been so busy working on all this stuff. Our haitus is almost over, and so new pages will be posted soon. If you want to get notified as soon as a new page goes live, you can click the little mail icon on our site's sidebar and sign up for email notifications. You can also follow the comic on Facebook or Twitter and hope you happen to catch our posts/tweets.

Also, Jessica turns 27 this week. So happy birthday to my favorite blue-haired artist babe. Here's a birthday card she quickly whipped up for herself:

Hottest Fan Art in the Universe

Jessica Safron Maddox Quartet fan art thumbnail

I made two pieces of erotic fan art (shown below) for my favorite show, The Biggest Problem in the Universe, a hilarious podcast hosted by Maddox and Dick Masterson. When I listened to today's episode (#63), I about died from fan-girlish glee hearing them talk about me and react to my art (starting at the 11:15 mark, and again briefly at the end of the episode). You can listen to the episode here. Satan Ninja even got a shout out.

To give you some context, the previous episode was the one that inspired the art (the parts relevant to the fan art are between the three and five minute marks).

If you can't listen to the episodes for some crazy reason, here's the gist: Their guest in Episode 62, Robin Higgins, mentioned that the first guy she ever jerked it to was Wesley Crusher from Star Trek TGN. So, Maddox and Dick mentioned the girls who motivated their first jerk-off experiences.

Maddox's description of his first jerk fantasies was especially weird, in the best way. So here he is with Mary from Quartet, a game for the Sega Master System. Flyin' off with their jet packs, fighting aliens, making out "pretty hard," and holding hands super romantically like Superman and Lois Lane (Dick actually inspired that last bit).

(Click the images to see the full-sized NSFW versions. I snagged these censored versions from their site.)

And here's Dick with American Gladiators Elektra and Diamond.

Dick didn't know that I did a piece for Maddox too until the night they recorded the new episode. I had a pretty fun email exchange with him. Bonus NSFW art: behold my sweet Google Hangouts drawing skills.

Excellent! Wow, that's quite the compliment coming from you.

[Rambling about being a long-time fan of Dick and Maddox.]

So, anyway... you can go fuck yourself in a sexy American gladiatorial joust.

Anyway, a while back, while I was drawing the early pages of Issue 2, I talked to Maddox about giving him a cameo in the comic and Adam ended up writing him into the script. Maddox brought that up on the podcast, so for anyone wondering about that, he'll be making an appearance in Issue 3. Our hiatus is almost over, so we plan to start posting pages for Issue 3 soon!

Comic Hiatus and Website Birthday

First off, our website turned 1 year old on March 1st. Also, March 3rd, yesterday, marked my and Jessica’s 8-year anniversary. To celebrate it, Jessica drew this, uh ... self-portrait (I’m not sure what that says about our relationship).

Jessica Safron

Anyway, it’s been an interesting year. We’ve learned quite a bit about this whole making webcomics thing. And we now have dozens of fans. Dozens!

So now that we’ve posted the final page of issue 2, we’re going to take a hiatus from comic updates for awhile.

How long of a while? It’s really hard to say, but at least a couple months. Hopefully no more than three. This isn’t actually going to be a break for us though. During this time, Jessica is going to spruce up some of the current comic pages that were rushed out before they were completely done in order to prevent them from being really late. She’s also going to make the cover for issue 3, and work on a whole bunch of other Satan Ninja related art that’s been on the backburner for a long time due to her focusing on the comic pages. And there are some other super rad things that we’ll be working on that we aren’t quite ready to reveal yet..

We’re also going to be making some changes to the website, which will go live when we’re ready to come back from our hiatus.

But we’re not simply going to go silent for a few months. I’ll still post weekly articles, both to keep you up to date on what we’re doing behind the scenes, and to share more awesome and/or awesomely terrible ‘80s media we come across. And we’ll still be active on our forum, so you should, like, totally join in. Our webdude made it super easy to log in with Google or Facebook or whatever.

Also, if you want to stay up to date on the comic, check out the sidebar over there to the left (or at the bottom if you’re on a tiny screen) where we have some adorable little icons. You can click those to like our page on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, do whatever it is that people do with RSS feeds, or subscribe to our mailing list (rhe first thing I always do after I post a comic page or a new article is send out an email notification to everyone who’s subscribed to our mailing list—and you can choose to get notified only about comic page updates if you don’t give a shit about my articles).

So that’s where we are now. This first year has been a trial of sorts. Or you could think of it as a beta test. Once we come back from our hiatus, that’ll be the end of the trial/beta period. At that point, we’ll start paying for advertisements and really try to make more people aware of this comic.

Finally, I wanted to thank our most vocal supporters: Rijst, aett, Michigander1911, Williams Beaumont, and Rae. You dudes rule, and hearing your feedback week to week has been awesome. Thanks for being bad enough dudes to support our comic. Also, thanks a lot to our awesome webdude, Ghoul. He put a lot of work into making this the raddest webcomic site ever.

Page Delayed Due to Sickie Jessica

Looks like the next page is going to be a couple days late.

Jessica was happily working on the page Thursday, when she developed a nasty stomach ache. It persisted overnight, preventing her from getting much sleep, so I took her to the Urgent Care Center. They looked her over, then had her go to the ER. After some more tests, they found out she has pancreatitis, basically an inflamed pancreas.

She's on painkillers and doing fine now. She just has to take it easy and stay on a liquid diet for a few days.

Anyway, we just wanted to give you a heads up on why the next page is going to be posted later than usual.

News Update & He-Man Commercials

He-Man Masters of the Universe Toys

Bummer alert! There's not gonna be a page posted this weekend, as this week is bursting with extra work shifts and family events. We'll still post some badass art from Jessica this Saturday, but the next page will have to wait until December 6. Bummer alert over.

And now it's time for me to talk to you about He-Man.

One of my earliest memories is playing on a big dirt pile outside my house with my Man-E-Faces toy. Masters of the Universe bedsheets served as my nightly shield against the monsters of the dark. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is the very first franchise I can remember being a big fan of.

This past year, Jessica and I have watched a bunch of episodes from the orignal He-Man cartoon. Holy shit can that show be awesomely retarded. But I'm not talking about the cartoon today. Nor the Dolph Lundgren movie. We'll save those for another time.

Today, it's all about the toys. Er, the toy commercials, actually. I had a pretty decent collection of Masters of the Universe toys (including Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain), but upon watching this collection of Masters of the Universe toy commercials, I feel fucking robbed. How did I ever make it through my childhood without a Land Shark? Or Moss Man?! Fuck!

This is my Thanksgiving gift to all of you:
