Have been sitting on some fantastic art by Master Krakken who has made a lot of Dark Reflections art for us for over 15 years now! Will be putting this up on the Exiern Extras site soon but thought Patreon subscribers and followers would like to see it a bit early!Lots of new Dark Reflections material coming in the future, especially in the Chaos branch of this universe! We hope you enjoy this hint of things to come, live from South Korea this time!
Dark Reflections: Chaos - Interlude 1 (Page 11) - Divergence
So, as happens a lot in this alternate version of Exiern, a point of divergence occurs when the potential assassins of the leadership of the Ash Tribe make their move. Unlike in the original version of Exiern, they break off because there's people outside who weren't expected to be here.A miniature chain reaction inside a bigger one that was set off because unlike the original Exiern story, Typh brought someone back (with whom he would argue with and that would hence take them both outside) and that's because he was different here i...
Dark Reflections: Chaos - Interlude 1 (Page 10) - Collision Course
Last of the uploads from Vietnam!Various people trying to end run around full-on assaults both metaphorical and literal!Next stop South Korea!(Well, for me anyway ...)Update: So, while in South Korea, I decided to rename this page with something I thought fit better with both it and also the next page. Never done something like this before after the event (closest I came was to change an idea I had less than an hour before scheduled posting where Rage Against the Machine became King of the North (and misquoting Game of Thrones!). The original t...

Dark Reflections: Chaos - Interlude 1 (Page 9) - Lost in Translation
As the $10 tier would know, I just uploaded their most recent page as I was about to board a plane to Vietnam.Now uploading this one while in the queue for passport control in Ho Chi Minh City. The queue is just a bit longer than last time I arrived. Timing ... and time of arrival is everything!On that note, Aurora and our one day future heroine can relate!

I'll be honest, this is one of Scott's titles that I totally don't get at all.Story, lettering and obscure references by Scott T. HickenArt by Luis XIII

The Fantastic Flaw - Exiern Halloween Special 2023
This year's Halloween special for 2023 by Marshall Reeves of the webcomic Yesterday Bound a little early for patrons and anyone following the Patreon as well. Please consider checking out the post on the website when it goes up!Hot off the press with Typh as the Silver Surfer and Denver as Reed Richards! Peonie as ... well, you can see for yourself!
Dark Reflections: Chaos - Interlude 1 (Page 2) - Step Back in Time
If you're not a member of the $5 Patreon tier, we've been publishing daily the flashback of why Peonie is so resentful of her father in this universe and all onboard with overthrowing him!(Starting here!)Now for the part of an interlude between the previous chapter and the next one which tells us when it's actually happening! Also the name of a great Kylie Minogue song!
Dark Reflections: Chaos - Interlude 1 (Page 1) - Northern Exposure
If you're not a member of the $5 Patreon tier, we've been publishing daily the flashback of why Peonie is so resentful of her father in this universe and all onboard with overthrowing him!(Starting here!)Now for the start of an interlude between the previous chapter and the next one!
Catching Out
Story and lettering by Scott T. HickenArt by Luis XIII
See the story as to why Peonie hates her father so much ... well, one version of her anyway (if you haven't already!)
So, this story was published on the $5 Patreon tier around half a year ago and goes some way to explain why the Peonie of the Chaos sub-division of the Dark Reflections universe is so openly hostile when the subject of her father comes up!Starting from this page, there'll be one update a day until it's all published! So, if you haven't seen it already read it at Dark Reflections: Chaos as linked and also help us get those viewing figures up!New content for the $5 tier also coming soon!

Oops! Looks like every patron got a sneak peak of the $10 tier story!
This latest reconfiguration of Patreon threw me off, it's only just after I hit post that I realised I hadn't set the page to the $10 tier. So, looks like everyone got a sneak preview in their emails who's a patron at any level.Still, I guess it didn't give too much away and I suppose there's an opportunity here to plug the future storyline, so if anyone is intrigued enough to want to see the previous 13 pages now instead of whenever the main story catches up to it, it's available to anyone subscribed on the $10 tier.Mor...

The Pitch
So, I'm currently in Sri Lanka with my parents.Story and lettering by Scott T. HickenArt by Luis XIII
Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 252 - Southland Tales
... and that ends this very long chapter!The name of this page is taken from the film that followed Donnie Darko by the same director, which I felt superficially followed at least while the last line of dialogue for this chapter is also the final line of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff Angel. Season 5 (the last season) is one of my favourite seasons of TV.More coming soon!Art by Studio Katsumi
Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 251 - The Long Goodbye
Page 205 was called "The Time for Talk is Coming to a Close".Admittedly, the talk then went on a bit longer than expected but we promise this arc is finally coming to a close very soon!I thought I had a chance to post this from another exotic location on the way back from Sri Lanka but the filters at the airport blocked our Patreon.I briefly thought about using a VPN to bypass it but then I thought advertising the country and by implication that I would have had to do this didn't seem like the smartest idea.Anyway, I also no one was...
Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 250 - Imagine That Scene From Pulp Fiction With Christopher Walken But Somehow Even Worse
Because of the implication.Christopher Walken remains awesome in all circumstances, though!(My cousin owns this ring, I saw it last year and straight away said that it has to work its way into the comic somehow!)Art by Studio Katsumi
Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 249 - The Name Game
Probably should have thought to ask all these names sooner! Especially being family and all.Our run of Icelandic specials continues!Art by Studio Katsumi
Dark Reflections: Zen - Interlude 10
... I'm now in Iceland!Our artist wanted to try out a more psychedelic direction. How do you think they went with these last four pages?Potentially giving the Aurora Borealis some competition!We hope you enjoyed the continuation of this sequence!This was your moment of Zen, more when we can get it!Art by Ale+Team
Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 248 - "Apropos of nothing, did you know Gift is German for Poison?"
I was also in Munich, Germany until earlier this week.Now I'm in Reykjavik, Iceland via London in the UK.Bit of a story there ...Art by Studio Katsumi
