Monthly Roundup – February 5, 2026

So Many Minicomics!

In this newsletter, you’ll find out about everything I released over the past 30-31 days.

Anything not labeled “Patreon” or “paid” is free and publicly available.

January 5 to February 6, 2026

My graphic novel thumbnails have been with my editor since around December 20, which means I’ve had over a month to catch up on my independent projects. As is usually the case after a long stretch of high-intensity work on one project, my brain exploded with a million different ideas I wanted to draw. So I have a lot more minicomics and random art this month than I’ve had in a long time!

There was even one particular minicomic I drew on Christmas Eve and held till January to release. More on that in a second…

Announcements

Banner for Demon of the Underground: Webcomic. The four main characters of the comic are shown in the midst of battle: Jordana, Merritt, Samsid, and Pogo.

Free public Demon of the Underground pages are back!

Chapter 4 will be released in its entirety (minus the most nsfw pages), at a rate of roughly one per week, sometimes in batches. Skip down to the Demon of the Underground section for more info!

Into the Smoke

Into the Smoke is my new free vertical-scroll webcomic. It updates every other Wednesday. “When gay medium Blaze binds himself to an evil spirit, he hopes solving the ghost’s murder will help bring him peace. But Alastor the Angel Killer has other plans…”

New Episodes This Month:

While I’m working on my graphic novel, I’m trying to maintain the equivalent of 1 ITS page per week. Most episodes are an average of 4-ish pages, so that means there might be a longer wait between some episodes, instead of our previous consistent “every other week” schedule.

If you got this Monthly Roundup by email, either through the ITS Newsletter or via Patreon, you’re already set to get ITS episode alerts by email too! If not, you can sign up for ITS email updates or follow my Patreon for free, and then you’ll always know when the next episode posts.

Extras:

1. Alastor won an award for his accomplishments in chapter 2 episode 23! (not really)

2. For January’s Secret Gallery post, I released another first-draft installment of the “Blaze cult story” prose prequel I’ve been working on. This is one of the scenes I’ve been looking forward to sharing! (Patreon)

3. For February’s Bonus Tier post, I made an ITS personality quiz, along with new art for each character result!

Demon of the Underground

Demon of the Underground is my longest-running webcomic. It’s about Pogo, a half-demon with telekinetic powers who falls into a treacherous underground world beneath Chicago. The first 300+ pages can be read for free at demonoftheunderground.com. Current pages are being released on Patreon, with plans for new free pages in the future.

FREE PUBLIC DEMON OF THE UNDERGROUND PAGES ARE BACK! They will continue at least to the end of chapter 4, minus the most nsfw pages. You can find them in their original single-page format at demonoftheunderground.com, or converted to vertical scroll format on Tapas. They will release at roughly the same rate, though the releases at the main site may come in batches.

I don’t have room in my schedule to announce every page when it releases, but they’ll always be included in the Monthly Roundup!

Newly Released Free Pages This Month:

Demon of the Underground is also updating on Tapas! We’re up to chapter 4, page 90!

Minicomics

1. Brotherhood of the Orb

This is a big one! It’s the one I drew on Christmas Eve and held till January, and oh boy did it get a bigger response than I expected. One minicomic turned into several installments, and I still have a few more I want to do!
