Happy #WebcomicDay ! I make Into the Smoke, a very gay supernatural mystery about a medium who binds himself to an evil spirit to solve his murder. Let's hope his hot priest friend doesn't find out...

intothesmokecomic.com
Webcomic banner art for Into the Smoke. An androgynous young man with shoulder-length red hair and tattooed hands appears below a dark, smoky ghost, who caresses the man while inhaling his breath. Swirls and patterns surround them. Logo reads: Into the Smoke. Subtitle reads: A gay medium, and evil ghost, and a murder mystery. Two panels of the webcomic Into the Smoke. In the first, a dark, smoky ghost hovers holds a red-haired man and feeds on his breath. Narration reads, "But they are playing with fire, hoping the spirit will fall still before their breath runs out." In the second panel, the redhead throws his head back, elated, and yells, "WHEW! Holy crap. That was amazing." A panel from the webcomic Into the Smoke. A police detective squeezes Blaze’s shoulder tightly, while Blaze glares at him with clenched fists. The detective says, “Unless… you can summon the victim’s spirit for us. Right now. Let’s see you prove you’re a medium.” A panel from the webcomic Into the Smoke. Judd and Blaze walk side by side at night. With an impish smile, Blaze says, “So I like near-death experiences. Don’t kinkshame me.” Judd frowns tightly in response but doesn't reply.

Into the Smoke updates with a multi-page episode every other week, and last Wednesday's episode was especially *dramatic*... (also, glad I could give the Judd fans a good update 😆)

A panel from the webcomic Into the Smoke. Judd, a priest dressed in vestments for Mass, bows his head and grits his teeth while praying in Latin, "Dómine, exáudi oratiónem méam..." Behind him, the demon taunts, “He can’t hear you.” Its black hand reaches under Judd’s purple chasuble, lifting it to reveal his alb, cincture, and stole.

sometimes a band is made up of an exasperated airport dad (he's also the youngest), a charismatic but problematic guitarist, and a drummer who just wants everyone to get along -- and I think that's beautiful

A panel from the webcomic Keeping Time. Stef, a Black bassist, crosses his arm and looks pointedly at Denver, the blond guitarist, as he says, "An all-rounder might even be exactly what Tennyson needs, cuz we all know Tennyson right now ain't working." Tomás, the scruffy drummer in a castro cap, sits quietly behind his drums.

I've got another scofflaw here! That ticket clearly isn't for the SkyTrain in Vancouver, yet he boarded at some point! Also, he stole a knife from a crime scene.

Omg 😭 Filed under "comments that make me want to cry because I appreciate them so much." Thank you!!

Into the Smoke is everything I wanted in a comic.- It's occult. It's funny. I like the art style. It's gay. It's incredibly sexy without even having any explicit scenes in it. A demon tries to fuck a priest. MC is cute as hell. Interesting worldbuilding.

It's my current webcomic obsession. ✨️

⚠️ this has happened to an alarming amount of people I know. remember that when you open a random .blend file there's the risk that it'll execute unwanted code.

Stefon Martin:
- could use an extra 3 hours of sleep
- is still bummed he never had a Zoobooks subscription as a kid
- is indifferent towards his band's new singer. so what if this guy was someone his bandmates knew in high school, is that important or something

#webcomic #webcomics #art #intothesmoke
Two panels from the webcomic Into the Smoke. Panel 1: Judd, a priest, is shown. Judd’s face is shown in profile, his eyes eyes wide with shock as a large black claw wraps around his face, holding him by the chin and neck. Behind him, a demon bares sharp red teeth and snarls, “Such impure thoughts, Father.” Panel 2: Judd squeezes his eyes shut as the demon scratches its claw across his temple. The demon continues, “I could feast on them for days.”
