Who’s this new dude hanging with Voron? What are they hooked up to? Is Voron’s face like that cos his diet sucks? Fortress 4 has the answers! Well, mostly.

Only now do I feel like I might be starting to get a handle on drawing comics. The process is immensely challenging and rewarding… and I love it. Thanks for sticking with me. Can’t wait for you all to see issues 4–6 and beyond!
