Lesson learned, next time I do a wide format page, I make the comic itself kind of faded out with an arrow pointing down to the thing you have to click on to see the full sized page. I guess I take for granted that most people read my post, but there’s probably a lot of lurkers that hit and run the comic, just here for the colorful pictures, and then they’re off again. I don’t plan on doing that wide format often, but I’m also not going to agonize over how to lay out a double tall page that would work much better as a double wide.
Well, several of you predicted it, but it seems that scapegrace Mr. Disastar has riled up the field.
If Disastar can split up his beam at the last second to make it harder to dodge, then why doesn’t he do that for everyone’s beam? Processing power, obviously. That and the more times you beat Disastar and play through the whole game loop, the more of his beams he can do that with. Like a difficulty level thing. You know, if this was an arcade game. Which it isn’t.
Oh, look who it is in the vote incentive. The NSFW version is finally up at Patreon. Plus a bonus pic.
I think she would get in trouble for doing this. She’d mess up the… floor of the waterfall? Is that what it’s called? The receiving pool? No, probably not that. Anyway, she’d churn things up and cause a ton of weird erosion.
Since you might be wondering, Niagara Falls is about 165 feet high, so Babezilla obviously doesn’t have to be full sized. I’d say she’s about 175-180 feet tall here?
Have a sequel! Wow, almost two years to the day since the first book. Well, still faster than some of the pros, eh? This book is a bit longer, at 210K words. The first book was right around 120K for comparison.
I wanted to do more with the cover, but I’m not going to hold the book hostage because I didn’t get a chance to hide Yxlyn on the cover yet. (Yeah, like 3 people noticed her on the other cover.)
Please let me know what you think! I’m amenable to all constructive feedback and abject praise. Feel free to leave comments here, but please be mindful of spoilers if you do. You can also email me at grrlpowercomic@gmail, which is also probably the best way to let me know about typos. I’ll eventually release updated versions once typo feedback slows and I’m sure most everything’s been found.
Tamer: King of Dinosaurs is by Michael-Scott Earle. I’ve linked it several times in the past. The first book is free if you’ve never checked it out, but you don’t need to be familiar with Tamer to read my story. But it’s still free and it’s good… so… get it.
Obviously, “Tamer: King of Dinosaurs” is Michael-Scott Earle’s IP and my fan work is by a fan for fans, and certainly not intended to infringe in any way.
For those of you unsure of how to get a .mobi file onto your Kindle or Kindle app on your phone/ipad, the easiest way is to download it, then email it to your kindle email. You can find this on Amazon, under “Your Contents and Devices” you’ll see a list of books you’ve bought through Amazon. Click on “Devices” up at the top and you’ll see a list of kindles and phones etc that have the kindle app installed. Click on the box with the “…” next to each device and you’ll see an email address for it. Just email that address with the .mobi attachment.
Alternatively, I’m sure you could transfer it with dropbox or google drive or whatever poison you use.
This month’s vote incentive guest stars Lana of Spying with Lana. One of my own secret agents, Pixel, is trying to assist, with various levels of success and… nudity. Well, in the Patreon versions. The Vote Incentive will give you a pretty good idea of what might go down.
Check out Spying with Lana. Their current vote incentive features a certain gold-plated glamazon. Also it’s a funny comic with tons of skin.
The vote incentive is updated! I started drawing this and honestly had the thought that I might shelve it so I could use this for a plotline setup in the comic itself. The Vallejo Glamor, not the Nude version, obviously. And while I reserve the right to do it at some point in the future, the one thing I learned from drawing this is that those tiny bikinis take a lot more effort than you might think. Sure, in the comic, the art wouldn’t be nearly so fiddly and intricate, but Sydney’s “Coin Mail” is right out, and I can also foresee Maxima’s “Drizzled Metal” bikini just wildly morphing from page to page, not because it’s supposed to me like a clingy T-1000, but because I just think I remember how it looks and don’t bother checking and 5 pages later it looks suspiciously like Princess Leia’s slave bikini.
Though I will say the TOS Star Trek cloudy pastel backgrounds are a little easier to draw than perspective correct interiors.
I’ve recommended this Liam Lawson series before. I love me some good xenoanthropology, and my favorite thing about this series is the “fish out of water”/”Tarzan in New York” bits where the Orc main character has to figure out all the weird cultural stuff humans (and other races) do.
Well, Book 8 is out, Trorm’s family is coming to visit, and the xenoanthropology spills out onto the front lawn in the form of fistfights and flaming maces, much to the horror of the hand-wringing and probably slightly racist HOA. Mmm mmm! Good stuff!
A near future, proto-cyberpunk novel. As in, the main character is, through circumstances beyond his control, the first guy with a quantum linked AI in his brain. It’s kind of like he’s got “The Machine” from Person of Interest riding shotgun, only instead of being an enigmatic and vaguely creepy superintelligence, his machine decides it likes the human experience and adopts very anthropomorphic (feminine) qualities right off the bat. Corporations, governments, and organized crime antagonize, and eventually a bunch of ex-military female bodyguards are hired because they blend in better than burly dudes in suits and sunglasses. Yes, it’s a (slow burn) harem, obviously.
There’s a lot of stories like this one, i.e., displaced hero makes good and grows his household and gets his revenge, partially by living well, but mostly with head chopping. I’m recommending this one because from among the similar books I’ve read recently, I thought this one stood out. I immediately bought the second book when I finished the first, which is a pretty good gauge of a series I think. I have a lot of orphaned Book #1’s in my library. This one is like, Isekai-lite. Instead of being from another world, the MC is a “Savage” from the north, forcibly taken to the “civilized” city where he proves that being a skilled hunter is advantageous in slave arena battles. So, it’s kind of a bummer at first, but then he finds out that if he wins, he gets to pick a wife from an assembly of female combatants, and the ruling class here has a way to combat a blight of infertility sweeping the land, so the MC is like, “I guess I’ll pick up a wife or two before I get my revenge on everyone.” So, yeah. As books of this nature go, I thought it was one of the better ones.
This series is a little different from most of my recommendations. It’s more akin to the early Honor Harrington books, which I quite liked, for their technical fleet battles. (I’m as surprised as anyone I enjoy that stuff.)
The hook of this series is; Guy wakes up from 100 years in cryosleep to discover 1) The war he was fighting is still going on, 2) Everyone thinks he’s some mythical super-tactician cause he fought in a famous, desperate battle before jumping in his pod. 3) He kind of is, because now, after 100 years of constant war, so many people have died that advanced fleet tactics have been lost as the war chewed up all the old captains and admirals, and most warfare has devolved into “charge forward and hit them harder than they hit you.”
Something I like about this series is that it recognizes that space is stupidly huge, and when a ship that is 10 light minutes away from you does something, it takes ten minutes for you to know about it. Fleet battles held at .1 lightspeed still take hours and hours when fleets start off in distances measured in AU’s.

I wrote a book!
It's called Tamer: Enhancer, and has nothing to do with Grrl Power. It's actually Tamer fanfic, and it's free! Enjoy!
I wrote another book!
Tamer: Enhancer 2. It's a sequel!
It's still a Tamer fanfic, and it's also free! 210K words of weapon building, dinosaur fighting, harem satisfying, lumberjacking, moderate diplomacing, bad guy chopping action. Also some humor. Enjoy!
Oh, look who it is in the vote incentive. The NSFW version is finally up at Patreon. Plus a bonus pic.
