And so we’re halfway through the second issue of The Gloom and the story starts to gain pace, as the evil Vermillion and his Nazi cohorts… Well, do something nasty!
As ever, comment and let us know what you think… And enjoy this week’s installment!

Apologies, readers, for last week being an unexpected skip week… between con prep and (and my midterms), Tom and I were caught off-guard like an audiophile hearing a record skip. But (taking the metaphor too damn far) like a great needle, we got over it and are back on track!
(Just joining us? Catch up on Federico here, and check out the previous Styx Taxi stories: Pastrami for the Dead, Sing Along, Encore for my Babies, A Coda Vita, Rosa, and Dinner Date #9.)
Art is by the rockin’ Tom Williams. Our apologies for the late post (again), and join us next Thursday for more of “Federico”!

Tom Williams and I, the creators of “Styx Taxi: Federico,” are hitting our respective hometown indie cons of kickassery this weekend!
Tom Williams will be exhibiting at SPACE (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo) in Columbus, OH, this Saturday and Sunday (with afterparty at Momo2 on Saturday night):
At roughly the same time, I’ll be exhibiting at STAPLE!, Austin’s own Independent Media Expo — with my friends Paul Maybury (AQUA LEUNG, PARTY BEAR) and Nikki Cook (DOG’S DAY END, THE WINGS OF JUANO DIOZ) — this Saturday, from 11AM ’til 6 or so at the Monarch Events Center! The special guest this year is Brian Wood, the pre-party is Friday 8PM-11PM at Austin Books, and the afterparty + live art show is 10PM-2AM Saturday night at Red’s Scoot Inn (4th St @ Navasota)!
If you’re in either city, drop by and share the love!

Welcome to the 18th installment of Kid Houdini and the Silver Dollar Misfits!
As you can see, things are beginning to get a bit interesting. Where are Bea and her mother and what made the mysterious noise? Well, you see…
I can’t tell you. Come on, that would ruin all the fun! Join us next week as our mystery continues to unfold. You won’t be sorry.
As always, we thank you for reading and look forward to your thoughts on this delightful new page. Please… take a moment and let us know. We’d really appreciate it.

First off, Nick and I would like to say a HUGE welcome back to our editor, Ward, without whom we’d produce, well, stuff like last week’s Very Special Episode. Apologies all around for that one. We now return you to your regularly scheduled dose of gratuitous violence.

A quick one this week, as I’m about to shoot off to the slopes for a long weekend skiing.
Once more, thank you for the comments, but we want more love, dammit!
Also, we’ve been ‘nominated’ on the Eagle Awards for ‘Favourite Web-Based Comic’ - these are the nominations to be nominated - everyone posts what they want to see and then at the end of the week, the top five voted for nominations will be put into the next round and that’s when the industry professionals start to vote. So vote for The Gloom and make the Chemistry Set proud!
(and of course, vote for Hope Falls, Midnight Kiss, me and Dan everywhere else we’re mentioned!)
Right. Enough pimping. On with the comic.

See you next week!
