Just thought I would mention that this splash page was added to the series nearly seven years after the other pages were drawn, hence the difference in the inking style. In the Please-stop-me-before-I-revise-again-department, it is only a supreme act of will that keeps me from going back and re-inking almost every page from the “Knights of the Angel” segment of the story.

I want to thank all of the new readers. The average ADistantSoil.com reader spends nearly a half hour a day on the site, and our weekly views run as high as a full hour. Average page views are running at a dozen per day, with a bounce rate of less than 30%. Every hit helps the site pay for itself, and your interest tells me I am doing my job: providing you with comics you want to see and articles you want to read.
