Title: The Ten: It's on like Donkey Kong!
Post by: Evan_B on February 27, 2016, 05:59:53 PM
Well, I have too much free time on my hands. I guess it's time to make something weird. (http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/GateGuard/NewComics/TheTen/PartOne/Promos/theten.gif)
The Ten: If you thought that Nintendo made little sense before, we won't try to convince you otherwise. Meet the Ten, a group of fiercely loyal oddballs struggling to gain relevance in a multiverse of licensed properties. Will their adherence to tradition enable their survival? Can they rediscover the great truths of the past? Or will they have to forge a new way in order to keep up with the current era? No matter what each individual member chooses, they'll rarely agree, which might lead to hilarity, tragedy, or simply bizarre results.
Episode 1: Out with the Old The Ten attempt a daring rescue from two odd goons. It goes pretty well, except one of them bashes Kid Icarus. Truly a monster. Episode 2: Rules of Engagement The Ten have to sneak by a group of scary mecha. Why is Lucina so on-edge? Episode 3: It's A-Mii, Bro! The Ten are being watched! Their observers decide to put them to the ultimate test- to see if they can resist the temptations of collectible figurines. Episode 4: Obligatory Media Tie-In The Ten find assistance from one of the many intellectual properties blessed with a video game adaptation. Also, where yo' curly mustache at? Episode 5: The Daily Grind Everyone has morning troubles. Episode 6: It runs in the Family The Ten encounter another ally to join the ranks- but he's less accountable then they would hope. Episode 7: Don't Worry about the Future, it's alright Backed into a corner, the Ten experience crushing defeat. Deus Ex Machina, activate! Episode 8: The Hunter Don't **** with Samus. Episode 9: Nintendoom Faced with irrelevance, the Ten bid a teary goodbye to one of their own. Episode 10: The Ten The epic finale!

You should do a proper web-series out of this, because I am really enjoying it.

Post by: Evan_B on April 20, 2016, 01:02:25 AM
Heeeeey everyone.
I'm having a lot of fun with this comic. But I don't think that it's proper to continue posting it on NWR for a number reasons. I also want to start reliably tracking pageviews for it and expand the audience, and I'm not certain that this is the right place for either of those things. It also doesn't feel right posting this here without really contributing to the actual site in some way. So, unless people actually want to continue discussing the comic in this thread, I'll be continuing to update The Ten on my blog, with an RSS feed and potentially a Tumblr page to follow. You can still check my signature for the date of the latest updates, as well.
Check out The Ten here (http://nerdraeg.blogspot.com/p/the-ten-webcomic-archive.html), where you can also scroll to find a whole archive of the comic. Thanks for reading!
Meh. One more, for shits and giggles. (http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/GateGuard/NewComics/TheTen/PartOne/ep3e.jpg)

I'd consider it if there were a high enough demand. It would be nice to have the whole thing in one compendium.
There's a new comic, as well.

Title: Re: The Ten: More than JUST video game characters commenting on stupid trends.
Post by: Evan_B on May 17, 2016, 11:06:27 PM
So the Ten just recently passed through 50 pages, if you care (or not). If the rest of the series goes as planned, I foresee the final product rounding out at around 260-75 pages. So there's lots more work to be done!
I have a few archives, a tumblr and RSS feed, and the works... but I don't really get a lot of feedback. Anyone have any comments/critique they'd like to offer? That's all I'm looking for, moving forward from here.
Working on getting the PDF compilation started, as well!

(http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/GateGuard/NewComics/TheTen/PartOne/ep6u.jpg) So, The Ten has accumulated roughly 140 pages in the past year, and it's on the path to be completed before the end of 2017. I just wanted to ask for some feedback and/or critique from those of you who might have continued reading. Is there anything you like or dislike about the series so far? What would you like to see moving forward? There is a definite plot line, of course, but I would like to hear your considerations.
