Hi everyone! We're here with an update!

After working through a lot of freelance the past few months, I'm happy to say we are well into development for Season 2 of BARBAROUS! I've scripted out the majority of it and gathered up many of the references we'll need, and Yuko's been diving into design and pre-production. Yuko's been learning some new tools as well, so that is pretty exciting. Our process has become more and more formalized over the years, so things are moving along at a steady clip! You can see Cecilia above-- she's one of several characters who we do wardrobe for in advance. 

So what happens in the meantime? In March and April we'll be running two more side stories. March's story will feature Percy and Leeds and will be drawn by Niki Foley. April's story will feature Percy and Lumia, and will be drawn by Kat Fajardo. We're really big fans of both of their work, and are really excited to be collaborating with them. Definitely check out their work!

If you'd like to pick up printed editions of BARBAROUS, Lucky Penny, Our Cats Are More Famous than Us, or any of Yuko's art books, you can find them in our online store! As always, your support makes Johnny Wander comics possible. We also have stuff like plush, stickers, charms and more - check it out!

We're going to be at ECCC in Seattle this year! But we are doing drastically fewer conventions in 2020, so if there's something Johnny Wander that you want and you won't be in Seattle, the online store is your best bet! For other ways to support us, scroll to the bottom of this news post and check out the handy links!

BARBAROUS is back!

We've got some links and a summary to refresh and catch you up! 

Start from the beginning of BARBAROUS here.

The beginning of BARBAROUS Chapter 5.

The last page we posted before the break.

Last time we saw Percy and Leeds, Hale had sent them to one of the more distant, immaterial planes. The plane latched onto Percy and Leeds' psyches and began taking form-- and in Percy's case, manifested her younger self as a whole separate person. After an encounter with a raging minotaur, Percy and Chiaki wake up in what looks to be their old dorm room...
