New Landscaper comic site goes live!!!

Our new and improved LS site is now live...but you probably figured that out by now. Many thanks go to the almighty Greg for all his hard work in finishing the site. We are still working on adding some additional content to a few of the new features, but barring that ... everything else should be up and running. We are all really excited about the new site, as it gives us many more options for increasing value to not only the site but the LS comic as well - Plus... I just like having new sections on the site which I can constantly update with cool LS stuff & things. I'll just give you a brief virtual tour of our new features. As you can see we now have a proper home page, which now houses the large cinematic window for all kinds of fun things down the road. I'm thinking animation - sounds lights...maybe some pyrotechnics, but I digress. Either way, this gives me so many more options than the previous site to have some creative fun. Below are some of our new call out features, these include: Extras - Pin-Up Art - Latest comic page direct link. The Extras sections allows me to post -anything from concept art - sketches - photos - pretty much anything LS related. These items used to only be accessible through the blog post, but now have their own place to live. The next feature is the Pin-Up Art gallery. I'm pretty excited about this one; as I've been in contact with a few talented comic artists and asked them to do some downloadable Landscaper Pin-Up Art in their own style, basically giving them no limit ... just create. Their work will be showcased in the Pin-Up Art gallery along with links back to their comic sites and portfolio of work. So once you're finished reading our weekly page, you can jump to other comics to get your online comic fill. The blog has been re-worked as well, making it easier to follow as the order is now correct in terms of latest posts. Everything else pretty much works the same in terms of flipping through the comic, but we've incorporated a First button on the lower right hand side below the comic page, which allows a reader to jump to the first page of Issue 1 in one click. We've also added a Last button which will bring you to the last page of issue 2. Hopefully these features will make it easier for our reader to follow the LS world. We are still trying to come up with a way readers can select an individual page from either issue, as this has been a reader request - we are still working on that, but I'll keep you posted on our progress. Ok...now on to The Landscaper issue #3. As you may see on the home page there is a metal plate on the far right of the cinematic section. Within the next couple weeks this plate will begin to break apart slowly revealing the cover of issue#3 titled Reflections. Once this cover is revealed in full, the first couple pages of issue 3 will be posted, and will display in the latest comic section below, as well as from the issues page. Then it officially begins - we will be right back into our normal weekly Thursday posting schedule form here on out - till the conclusion of our third installment. Hopefully along the way we will be able to create some fun things for you to watch, listen to, and be involved in - as we expand the LS world into some of these new media avenues. I would also like to encourage anyone out there who would like to do some fan art (which would be awesome!), and would be prominently displayed on our site for all the world ... or our readers to see and enjoy. I will be posting a link to send all fan related work to within the next week - so keep an eye out for that. We're all looking forward to getting back into this crazy LS word, and hopefully you will join us once again for the ride. As always, your comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Alright, the nail guns are loaded and ready to go...Welcome back! c-
