Revenge of CRUQUIUS! Final Chapters

So here we are at the final chapters at Revenge of CRUQUIUS!
By this time I pretty much have said everything I can think of, so... What are my final thoughts? Like I said before I wasn't very involved in the creation of the comic itself but I really liked the idea. Mainly because these kind of photoprojects were my intention all along. For that reason I convinced others to were the same uniforms. This shoot was our first appearance and it paid of right away with this here comic.
So, I learned two things from this. There is an interest in the 'goon' idea, al thou I hope they will stop calling us that and call us for who we are; R.A.G-T.A.G. (Regiment Anachronistic Grenadiers - Tactical Assault Group) .... Yeah!
The second thing is more important than that. Steampunk is about combining element. Not just old and new things or scrap and other parts. It is also about combining idea's and creative energy. For me Steampunk is the creativity and output of it community. The goons in this comic are essential, but alone they are just that. They need hero's to fight were the audience can root for. It also needs the people who thought: 'He, we can do more with these pictures,' and actually did!
So, this comic is the result of, what I will call synergy; or steamergy if you want to keep it in style. People working with the material they have in front of them and make something new out of it. This, to me, is what steampunk and its community should be al about.

 Yeah, the poster and it's inspiration.
should have included that with the first chapter, oh well.

Before I let you read the comic I would like to tell you RAG-TAG also appeared on Elfia, at Castle de Haar were we had some pictures made with a crewmember of the Aviator, Victor Kadinski; part-time navigator and professional drunk. He also made a comic about our meeting there. Read it here.

 Chapter seven:

Lady A and Cpt. Constance Bashford find Emma, bound to a tree near the goons' camp in the woods. While Constance cuts Emma loose, Lady A checks on her to make sure she's alright.
Luckily, apart from some bruises, Emma has no severe injuries
The team of three is re-united and stronger than ever!





Chapter eight:

First, the ladies take a quick rest, and start making plans against the Mayor, and to erase the pollution.
The three friends clear the water and make sure the animals are safe.
Now to get to Abcoude, for the Revenge of Cruquius!
