Deep Breath one and all. It is coming together, just taking a little longer than the others. It may also be a little longer on page count...the fights keep extending themselves and i want space to wrap it all up.

But i am not going to leave you all hanging.

Good news, issue 4 will be done sooner than planned.

Bad news: i cut half the issue out to do it.

Good news: that half will be going into an issue #5

Bad news: that part probably won't get done until after the holidays.

Good news: Mark will probably follow this with a cheer.

Ok, I can't remember the last time a major comic book company released something I wanted to read on Christmas week. It is always a very small week for new titles.

But I'm not one of those companies. (and you don't have a big pull list this week)

So just in time for Christmas, here is Issue 4 of Mr. Fixer. We have one more issue coming after this. (Sometime in January if nothing goes sideways)

Comments, hate messages, and what not are still encouraged and accepted.

Issue 4 Soundtrack
Pg 1-4: Time Won't Let Me – The Outsiders
Pg 5-7: Open Letter to a Landlord – Living Colour
Pg. 8-16: The Time Has Come – The Chambers Brothers
Pg. 19-21: Sympathy for the Devil -The Rolling Stones
pg. 22: I Was Wrong – Social Distortion

Awww...I get my own variant cover!

Yesterday, i told Mark that i took a week off for the holidays and to collect my thoughts for issue 5. Today, I spent just over 3 hours typing and a third of the book is done.

Stuff goes fast when nobody is talking.

psst... Issue 5.

Soundtrack
Pg. 1-8 Intro by DaBaby
Pg. 9-13 Theme from Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Pg. 14-18 Crossroads by Bone Thugs N Harmony
Pg. 19-22 Drift Away by Dobie Gray


You all been waiting, here it is. "Love it, Hate it, WTF" Comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Reads like an annual issue (not a knock, btw)

That is very accurate. I'm not saying more until certain folks catch up.

Have now finished reading 4. Will start on 5 after dinner.

Ah, issue 4. Best last page this year.

For thosenreading, do you want me to list a cheat sheet of characters and their relevant info here? I can do that now with minimal spoiler problems.

I would like that!

Currently on Issue 5, page 18, panel 5.
Had a variety of smartass comebacks for how gutwrenching this is, but instead I'll just say, ouch, this one hurts.

Yeah, the writer is kind of a jerk. This one is for everybody that hates comics where somebody dies and everybody goes on like nothing happened an issue later.

Here you go. A write up listing the key characters and a few very minor appearance characters that I wish I could explore more.

If there are other characters or questions, just toss them up. There are a few spoilers but nothing that will be getting explored in this story. If it is showing up in this story, I left it out.

Good news... The final issue is almost done. Just a few pages to go.

Bad news... got some stuff to handle the next few days so that still skews towards end the week as the soonest.

Good news... i did extra variants because of that delay.

Bad news... something happened on page 20 i did not plan on happening...it wrote itself.

Good news... it is oversized with at least 30 pages.

Bad news... oversized books cost extra

Good news... any percentage increase on free is still...free.

Bad news...characters die in this issue.

Good news... dead characters jack up the aftermarket value.

And that's all i got to say today.

ok, here it is. all done.

The soundtrack is included in the text (before I even describe the covers) It is an oversized issue clocking in at 31 comic pages plus ads. But still free for everyone. At some point soon, I am going to throw in a "trade paperback" file with all of them combined and a name change for Cobo.


You can now read the ending and tell me what you think of my 6 issue long 4 issue limited series that was supposed to be a one shot.

Enjoy
-Sal

You really do have a talent for sketching out action scenes, Sal.

Thank you. It took longer than I thought it would.

OK, I read issue 6 again and realized what I didn't like about it. One single thing on Page 20 of the comic just didn't sit well. A comic editor would have caught this long before it went to press.

So I changed it. Here are the new versions. (I didn't save myself an old version so consider the version you already have to be NFT collectibles)

and a bonus just in open office format. This is Jeremy's fault entirely because he texts me terrible ideas all the time and they sit in my brain unless I unleash them on the world.

I want a spotlight issue on the doctor who does vasectomies.

Yeah, THAT Mr. Fixer is a scary, scary guy. Because he is doing it blind.
