Yeah the whole zap in space URL really did a number on people. There are still folks who think its the name of the comic. I bare them no ill will as its still a catchy title. As for books I’d love to get the rest out but I know the volume 3 fiasco took its toll on Pascalle so she wanted to forget about it and focus on Wilde Life. I’m hoping in the future we can get the rest out but as the comic is ended there may not be enough demand in the future. we’ll see.
I would love to write a 10 years later type thing. Getting Pascalle to draw it however may be the hard bit. She needs time to explore other stories. Maybe if we found another artist, who knows. There are multiple side stories and stuff I’ve had for our characters just bumbling around in my head.
Well I know this is a question towards Pascalle but I’ve heard her answer this enough times to know what she’ll say which is no. There is no plan on redoing the art for the older pages. Her time is going to be utilized on her newer projects. I can’t say I blame her. I personally like to see the older art and while there is no doubt that Her skills have only gotten better over time my personal favorite art was around the Grivak and Casino arcs. So I’d hate to see those go.
Thank you for the backhanded compliment I guess. Haha. I never thought the art was cringeworthy or the story direction less but I guess I’m bias. Also we were zap.keenspace.com first, or was it already Comic Genesis by that point? Who knows it was forever ago. I’m glad you at least liked the comic by the end. Glad we could change your mind?
Hmm. You’d be surprised, even with the just kidding, how poorly taken a death threat can be. Thanks for enjoying the comic, but I thought you should know for the future.
Yeah RPG world ending made us both fairly steamed especially when it was so close to ending. I personally believe we strived to have an ending to the comic in part because we didn’t want others to feel that way about Zap. Thanks for your kind words.
You’re welcome. I always felt that the dreamscape scenes were a great way to continue the Zap Reona relationship while not being together. And it was trippy to see what abstract stuff I was writing work so well in the end.
Actually I was referring to dumping so much all at once. I was expecting a once-a-week lingering goodbye…

I didn’t mean it as a backhanded compliment, more towards a testiment of how much the art and story developed and became something extraordinary. Also, up until about the casino, it SEEMED that way, even though in hindsight, it wasn’t xD

Thanks for the comic guys. It has indeed been years. Awesome stuff. Most memorable moment? It’s actually most memorable image – guess I’m visual – Reona in that casino dress. Still sticks out in my memory.
Yeah its really good. Its a very striking image. I just love that whole arc.

Heh, thanks. I just feel like you’re both getting a boat load of notifications and comments to read (some not so pleasant, I’m sorry to hear about that, yeesh!). I feel kinda bad about adding to it. But reading Zap has been awesome, not just for the amazing story and artwork but also for (most) of the commenting community chatting it up each page, including the author and artist.
So hey, here’s another comment you’re gonna be notified of.
Positive feedback is a great way of saying thanks, and always appreciated!

I haven’t been able to get on the last few days, even though I read through the ending using the Google cache trick. But I wanted to make sure to tell you guys thank you so much. I have enjoyed reading this comic from beginning to end. I personally started with this comic more than seven years ago and read it consistently until I got married five years ago. I forgot about it for a few years (just got lost in all the shuffling around and didn’t think of it) until I stumbled upon it again and immediately read through the archives to catch up and have been reading weekly or, more recently, biweekly since. Thank you for a wonderful story, the wonderful art, and a wonderful experience.

That sad happy feeling of finishing a good comic :’)

I found this a couple of days ago from a link from White Noise and now I’ve finished it I miss it a little already. Oh, who am I kidding;
THERE IS A HOLE IN MY HEART!!!!! GAAAAARRRRRGH!!!!!1!11!!!ONE!!!!!
God damn you for all the feels at the end (I do wonder how Naveed and Gunner are doing on their deserted planet, I’m sure Naveed is happy ;) ). All the internets for a compelling, dramatic story with such a goofball as a main character, though the boy came good in the end.
Really looking forward to Wilde Life (excellent start so far)!

All good things must come to an end….
….doesn’t mean we like it when it happens, though….
Pretty funny last lines though. And with the squid.

Long time reader, first time poster. Started in during the casino battle
like many others it seems, must’ve had an ad campaign or something
going at the time. Not entirely sure what got me to come check this
comic out initially, but glad I did, as I’ve been checking in here every
monday since. It’s going to be a lil odd now not having Zap as part of
my monday routine anymore, but all good things come to end.
I
have to congratulate yall on doing somethin so very few webcomics ever
do, and thats completing your fantastic tale. And holding me hook, line
and sinker all the way through, where so many other webcomics dropped
off my bookmarks tab due to hiatus or dragging stories. You’ve joined
the likes of Inverloch and Darken up there in my all-time favorites now,
well actually you’ve been there for awhile hehe. Zap will always get a
shining recomendation from me to anyone who asks about webcomics. Shoot
and I’m going to be writing another post like this for Dubious Company soon, as they are wrapping up their story as well.
