Become a Defender! Help Support the Strip
This page has all the details but I also wanted to mention “The Sampire” Defenders-Only Comic Book is going fantastically, with a new page every weekend! I’m having a lot of fun with this story, and I hope it shows.

Being a Defender isn’t only about bonus content, it’s also about saying thanks for the years of entertainment this strip has provided you. And it gives me the gift of continuing to provide it for at least a few more years to come, for everyone! Just fill out the registration form, and you’ll be taken to a page where you can pay via Credit Card (link on the bottom left) or via Paypal. Your account should be activated almost immediately!* Checks and Money Orders can be sent to: Sluggy Freelance, LLC PO Box 453, Denville, NJ 07834 Please include a valid contact email with the check, and please allow 3 weeks* for account activation! (I can’t get out to my PO Box every day and personal checks take time to clear.)

Donate! When I started my last “New Defenders Drive” I was surprised how many people simply wanted to donate completely separate from Defenders Membership so I set one up! If you do go this route please donate at least $5 otherwise I' won't see much of the money due to processing fees.

*IMPORTANT: Once you’ve paid, (and waited the three weeks if paying by check or money order) if you can’t access Defenders content or log in for any reason contact me via our email-form and we’ll take care of you! We’ve noticed sometimes the Paypal payments and automatic membership activation don’t synch up, and I don’t want anybody left out!

And 2008 comes to a close with the beginning of the story “bROKEN.”
Sorry if you guys thought Part 1 (Year in the Life of a Villain) ended on too much of a pseudo-cliffhanger. For better or for worse you will know much more about things before bROKEN is over. Now that it has begun, there’s no going back. Anywho I put a lot of work into bROKEN so I hope it shows.
Thanks to all of you who have supported the strip by becoming defenders and purchasing from our store and using our Amazon link this holiday season. Times are tough, webcomics are “free”, so we appreciate it that much more.

I think 2009 will be the year to remember in this comic’s long life. Stay tuned.

Warning: bROKEN is not even NEAR a Stand Alone Story!
It’s built on the bones of many MANY stories before. I’ll retell all pertinent details in the course of “bROKEN” but for a richer experience you may need to read through old stories. I’ll provide reference links wherever I can and if you have any continuity questions, Sluggy.net is filled with cheery sluggites and awesome mods who will help you with your questions or commiserate in your confusion. And/or angrily call me out for major continuity blunders of doooom! (Like that’s possible!)
