Welcome to Gaia! ::

HOW LONG WILL THIS "TIME-LOOP" GO ON?!
Hi there, honorary WP-1 teammates! This is Chris Crosby, the co-writer and co-creator of WICKEDPOWERED. In response to your thousands of E-Mails, letters, and phone calls, I'm posting here to set the record straight on a mystery that has been haunting our readers for a couple of weeks now.

Yes, your theories are correct (mostly). This time-loop thing is just our "clever" way of posting reruns. Apologies if it seemed like a nasty trick to get you all to keep reading, that was not our intention. We're just kinda dumb.

The facts are, this is a sponsor-based comic (thanks to our friends at the real Wicked Lasers), and financial realities had to come into play eventually. We had a great run for a "sponsored entertainment product", eight happy months and 107 wicked pages of lasers and monsters and pretty girls in brightly-covered clothing. And Owen and I would love to continue creating new WP-1 adventures for your reading enjoyment, and I believe we will again someday. Not yet, though, because it costs time and money to make them. But WICKEDPOWERED's triumphant return can be sped along with your help! Read on...

We don't want your money or your jewels (though we certainly wouldn't refuse them), but if you're a U.S. resident, all we need is a few minutes of your time. We have made the complete archive of WICKEDPOWERED available for 100% free download in e-book form (five issues) on WOWIO, a free e-book site brought to you by kind folks like Verizon and EA Sports. For every free copy of WICKEDPOWERED you download, you will help significantly to fund the creation of new WICKEDPOWERED adventures. If you download enough of them, an animated series is even a possibility! So if you want to help bring Wiley Schlub and his pals back to your computer screen, please download all our WOWIO issues. It only takes a few minutes, and you'll be able to have every WP comic on your hard drive so you can read and re-read it even if the internet is down. It's the closest thing to downloading love.

Go fondle some clouds and kickbox the sun for us!

Your Pal,
Chris Crosby

P.S. While you're over at WOWIO, you might wanna also download SORE THUMBS! It's another comic by me and Owen, so it might tide you over until WP returns.
