Chapter 1- Awake
Hey lovely folks!
Popping in with a quick final reminder about the volume 1 and 2 Kickstarter– we’re fully-funded and have even made the concept+guest art stretch goal! Currently we have 14 hours left to pledge before the campaign wraps at 11:11. I’ve been talking about the kickstarter a bunch on socials, but announcing it here as well in case you don’t follow me elsewhere!
You can get Centralia 2050 VOL 1 and 2 here!
Plus– here’s a look at some of the original artworks I’ve made for the campaign, which are available as part of a postcard set!
And to those who’ve pledged, thank you again for supporting the comic. There are a lot of media productions with huge budgets and entire teams to help out, but for many comic artists, we’re out here creating stories on our own, with limited resources and time. I write, illustrate, format and publish Centralia by myself, and I’m very fortunate to have a partner who helps me with feedback, the website, and working on the campaign. I began publishing Centralia in 2015, and there’s been many ups and downs, but truly the comic would not be where it is without the support and readership of folks like yourself! So again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in and supporting Centralia.

WOAH, oh man. I did NOT expect it to be that bad – I thought Midori would run off but almost to her death?! Thank goodness Grey was paying attention, and reacted in time.
The expressions of shock on both their faces are so heartbreaking ;-;
Grey looks a bit pissed at the end there though….I wonder what he’s thinking. I’m not sure if Midori actually yelled out Weiss’s name or not – which fits the seeming psychosis, honestly, being unsure what is said and what isn’t – but if Midori just *bolted* like that without saying *anything*….God.
Also I like the background people, they have a lot of diversity in appearance and reactions – some are gasping, a lot seem concerned. The attention isn’t good for them but idk, I guess i like that people aren’t completely checked out…even if nobody is doing anything, either. Bystander effect in full swing. something something SOCIETY.
Gaaaah ok final note, the composition is so good. The movement is so overwhelming and chaotic, the sudden appearance of the headlights of the train, the *whiplash* when Midori is grabbed – and the varying fonts overtaking the panels – like, Weiss shouts “Midori!” and it’s black text, then it shifts to Grey shouting it, and the text becomes white, then the final shout is black-and-white. It’s a tiny detail but it massively changes how things escalate, y’know? And how reality blurs, without using traditional text boxes. I notice more and more details the more I look. (“the doors are now closing”….is somehow so terrifying….)

Phew, that was a close call! This page has a great sense of movement and danger.
