We are back with the final page of the November update, and we’re getting into some lore about the Falling Star Syndicate. Our last page saw Mara and Illyana complete their mission. Now we are at the cleanup. This page of “Ladies’ Fight” is Cd.4.3.30.

Anyway, please drop a comment or share the page if you can, I really appreciate it. Now let’s get to the news.

Other News

I appreciate the feedback and kindness about the batch of pages. it is nice to be back. I had struggled for a while but found myself increasingly anxious that I didn’t have much of a creative outlet beyond the podcasts I do.

However, things changed during October. I felt the need to make something, so I ended up taking on an ambitious project, which snowballed into me creating again, pretty consistently.

Lore: The Falling Star Syndicate

For this update’s lore, please check out the first article in a series about the Falling Star Syndicate by regular series journalist Meilo Thench. This is an oral history of the syndicate that explores their connection to the origins of modern space piracy in the Silver Spiral Galaxy.

Volume 4 Episode 3 – Page 30 Transcript

The following is a transcript for Cosmic Dash Volume 4, Episode 3 – Page 30.

Panel One

The bound Slauve is tossed to the tiled floor of his darkened homestead.

SFX: WHAM!

Panel Two

The Slauve is seen in profile; he has been muffled. From the doorway, Illyana is seen in silhouette with visible eyes and teeth in a sinister appearance. Light pours into the doorway.

Slauve: Mrphm!

Panel Three

The door is slammed shut. Light filters in through a crack in the door. The Slauve is left alone in the dark, and only his eye is visible.

SFX: SLAM

Panel Four

Illyana is approaching Mara outside of the homestead. She is inputting something into her mobile.

Mara: What do we know about this guy?

Panel Five

Mara has turned away from the homestead and Illyana approaches. Illyana stuffs her mobile into her coat pocket.

Illyana: Not much. The ‘Hand of the High Commander’ plays a lot of this stuff close to his chest. All I know is that this guy was a former officer with the Falling Star Syndicate.

Mara: Huh.

Panel Six

Mara glances back at Illyana, seemingly suspicious. Illyana looks disinterested as she tucks her hands into her coat pockets.

Mara: Read an article about them a couple of weeks ago. Seemed like a big deal back in the day. Many of them were pirates.

Illyana: Oh?

Panel Seven

The pair glance back to the camera, toward the direction of the homestead. Illyana has a suspicious smile.

Illyana: Were they? Well, whatever makes Ij Far interested in this scumbag is bad news for sure.


See you in December with a new batch of pages.

    I don’ wanna tell you how to do your job, but I would think if you have one update after 11 months, and that update is 3 pages.. you could have spaced them out a little. Do you just do them all at once, getting all the thumbs done then all the lineart then all the colors? Because then I could see that. And I suppose the story is easier to follow with larger chunks at a time.
