lil loose and plan-less comic! meandering dialogue.... weird angles... bad attempts at cowboy hats... that’s comics baby (ID below!)

[ID: a black and white sketchy comic.

page 1: bird’s eye view of a few farm buildings, with someone near a horse. a woman, ginny, pats down her horse. a man, cade, is seated at the front steps. “you came,” he says. “yup,” she replies. only ginny’s back is visible.

page 2: they stand face to face. “you didn’t have to come,” says cade.  “you called,” says ginny. “but you didn’t have to,” says cade, as three panels show ginny coming to sit next to him one the stairs. “well, i came,” she says.

page 3: a panel shows the sky with a few clouds. ginny and cade sit closely, shown from behind. “what’re you gonna do?” asks cade. “deal with it,” says ginny. “how?” asks cade. “hah. gun’s blazing.” cade looks worried and starts, “ginny--” but ginny interrupts, in a close-up: “don’t do that, cade. come on. don’t ask that.”

page 4: “why not?” asks cade, as ginny looks away. “ ‘cause you know the answer! someone has to protect all this! someone has to keep you all safe!” the camera pulls back to show more of the house and ginny’s horse. cade asks, “but why does it have to be you?”

page 5: ginny pauses, then turns tolook at cade. “because you called.” they look at each other silently, until cade turns away and the camera pulls back out on the farm again. “yeah. i called.”

Palamedes Sextus! Palamedes Sextus! Palamedes Sextus!

He’s the smartest necromancer ever of his generation. He’s incredibly kind. His friends are all queer women. His best friend is Camilla Hect (enough said). His mom is a milf. He is in love with a dead girl. He’s Harrow’s nemesis. She’s his poor little meow meow. When he and the woman he’d been in love with for a decade finally met and she blew him off to flirt with a young hot butch, he remained nothing but friendly and polite. He coalesced all the pain and confusion and insecurity and despair into himself again and again and when he realized she had been dead the whole time, he released everything he’d pent up as a god-killing star to destroy both her murderer and himself.

He died. He’s still alive. He’s a ghost haunting a memory trapped in a bubble on the outskirts of Hell. He wrote porn for 8 months there.
