Divine Wrath Forums

In a spurt of Divine Wrath history in the making, I am leading off the discussion on lucky Page 13. The panels are true...we did have beverages and extend our night into the early morning hours, the "Minions" were ninja-mage-level helpers with the ability to summon provisions and information at alarming rates, and we met some great new people and discovered some fans waiting to be entertained.

There is a story behind the panels, however, and with fair brevity, I will hit some brushstrokes of those special features. Again with the lists, since I'm all about things drenched in list-y, bulleted or numbered format.

1) The story behind the first panel is that we had some laughs, good times, and a long night ended abruptly with R3v and myself scuffling as we like to do in a playful test of dominance. The actual panel shows a random "get on my shoulders" occurrence before things turned violent. One note on that "Visa...it's everywhere you never want it to go."

B) None of the panels show Jason "Big Tuna" "SnakeEyes" "Jay" McGahen, our official D-Wrath staff photographer at the con, long-time friend, and my co-pilot for the blistering 12.5 (each way!) hour trip to NC from Buffalo, NY. He provided us with a number of useful electronic goodies including a radar detector that kept us at a steady 86 mph, without a single incident involving Johnny Law.

III) The Con was a great opportunity to spend time focusing on our labor of love, and really dig into what we need to do now and in the future, for the story and the fans. We will have the limited edition "Divine Wrath: The Epic Begins" t-shirts featuring battle-ready Deemos riding Max available to you all through this site at a later date, and rest assured that we are re-inspired to move this comic forward into the tasty bits of story coming along.

4) There are some really great young artists in R3v's area, and we had fun even though we were all tired, and unclean (except me).

Finally, one final important lesson learned: Cute is marketable, anime boy-love is really popular right now, and people digging what you put together is always worth the time spent on it.

Till next time,

Sounds like you guys had a blast, wish I could have been there with you guys.

There were so many other things that I wish I could have included. These were just some of the highlights that stood out in our minds. Definitely would have been awesome if you could have joined us Justin. San Diego, next year brother!
It was a great time and Im so glad that Jason "Snakeeyes" McGahen was able to make it down with JJ for the event. Shared food, drinks, and good times was definitely the highlight of the weekend for me. Hopefully with this new page up, we, as well as the site, will now be back on track!

Woot woot!

Welcome back boys! I can't wait to see where the story goes.

Somewhere in South America...

... deep within an ancient temple...

... something has returned to life.

*cough cough* woa... what? An update? Crap... hold up, I need pants *scuffle scuffle*

WELCOME BACK! *GLEEEEE* Various parts of the internet are glad to see your return!

It sounds like it was a blast! Going to a convention is something I've always wanted to do, but I've always been too scared to go. Something about cosplay and too many people making anime inside jokes has always been somewhat of a deterrent. >:

Anyway, it's great that there's updates again. I'll continue to stalk DW like a creepy internet predator.

Yes, one of the unused Lessons learned that was considered for this page was the ungodly amounts of patience one had to have with certain people. There was a girl, Im sure she's a great person, but, she participated in the contest, and spent the entire time talking. Not just normal talking. It was a talking that was entirely centered around herself, and the world that she had created, filled only with Bishi characters and personalities from FFVII, as well as an attitude that exuded pure, unfiltered fan-damnation.
Snake Eyes had to struggle with himself and keep from yelling/pushing/punching her in sheer aggravation. It was fun to watch his levels of animosity rise. XD

I realized that I am by no means a true anime fan, that I do not have as extensive a knowledge of anime lore, or that I cannot bring myself to wear the clothing and act like the characters from said anime's.

But Im surprisingly comfortable with that fact.

Seriously though, despite the crazy amount of loyalty and near obsessive behavior fanboys and fangirls had for their faved anime characters and shows, I realize that it is these exact same people that keep the business alive. And I can only hope that one day in the distant future, we too will have similar manic fans, coming to conventions dressed as our characters.

That would be teh AWESOME!

The day I see someone dressed as Deemos riding a homemade-stuffed Max doll, I will light myself on fire and let Rosie O'Donnell put out the flames with her urine, and you can take that to the bank.*

On this same day, I will be at the amusement park, riding LOLlercoasters.
