THIS IS A PREVIEW! TO SEE THE FULL COMIC, PLEASE CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON, you'll see 105 pages this month for just $3! and can immediately buy additional releases for $3 per release up to August 2017's releases. (More details below)
For $36 in the first month you'll fast-track the second year of the comic and see pages 106-215! (This page is from our November 2017 releases)
-------------------------------------------------- NEWS FEED We are ironing out the bugs for easy, simple and direct payments!!! For now, you can still support us through Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/catastrophe but we've had good success in taking bitcoin payments in a small test group on another project hosted on PixArmor!
PLEASE NOTE: NEW SUPPORTERS! We've noticed that quite a few of our supporters haven't responded to the server emails to log in to their new accounts and get their content. Please remember to check your junk mail and if you don't see an email after your payment is taken and don't know why, please contact our team through direct message on Patreon, quoting your email address! We've sent out messages to individual supporters on Patreon to check that the email was sent, especially one new supporter whose email was entered incorrectly!!!
Love the comic? Want more? What you see here is now ONLY A PREVIEW of content featured on our server! See all of Milo's story exclusively via our distribution server through Patreon!
Official patrons and supporters of the comic also receive higher resolution pages! You'll get all 100 pages of the comic you see on our public galleries for free when you join up and five more! And around 12 pages a month of the story as it continues (less if they're multi-panel), every month! At nearly twice the resolution! 25 cents a page?! Not enough? Well a few dollars more ($5/Mo) will get you triple the resolution! Want an extra treat? $15 each additional month puts for other exclusive images and previews from us, on top of highest tier resolution (x5 this!). https://www.patreon.com/catastrophe
New supporters of the comic on Patreon after August 2017 have the chance to pledge as little as $3 a month to gain never-before-seen content. Each additional payment made each month fast-tracks you through the previous month's releases using our "Train car" staggered release schedule to buy as many chapters of the story as you want! Get 12, 24, or as many as 100+ pages in the first month by paying for each month's releases you've yet to see! This caps at the August 2017 release, which will then slow to month-at-a-time releases again.
You'll see all of Milo's story, no missing pages and guessing at the plot! Remember that signing up before the end of the month or the first few days means your pledge will be processed quickly to get you signed up for all the extra content! Supporters in the higher pledge amounts also get entered into a raffle to win free art each month!
We distribute our content via a private server, remember to check your email if you are a Patreon supporter for a link to our secure distribution server at PIXarmor! If you DON'T have this server link and don't know why, please contact us via message on the pledge site!
Patrons since July 2017 will continue to receive Car #1 instant updates as soon as pages are created, your status hasn't changed nor has your early access terms of service!
This comic is a real labor of love for us all and your support is what makes it possible for us to produce it.

Cute . . . .I'd consider supporting on patreon, but the staggered release system is kind of bizarre. Never heard of a patreon before that forces you to wait a year just to get all your rewards. You're basically progressively removing the incentive for new people to support you over time. Also the rubbish about 'warding off credit card scams' by waiting 7 months to give them something is a load of hooey. Not your job, never will be. That's why you use Patreon and why people pay patreon fees and paypal fees.

Sorry you think it's hooey - might wanna take a look out there for the number of artists who've been hit with unexplained fraud charges - Patreon have personally issued refunds without any explanation to MasterCard accounts of patrons we have half a dozen times, including a "supporter" who took us for a near $500 ride before our account was put in the negative. Patreon fees are processing fees, not freedom from hoax fraud claims, we've even tried to fight it with "proof of delivery" and Patreon isn't even interested in our sign-in logs - if a credit card demands a refund, they issue it.
Giving the whole near 300 pages of the comic for $3 seems a little unfair to us too, that's a difference of opinion, sure - but it's one that we hope means supporters to the comic will be loyal to it and think it's worthwhile to support. I've seen plenty of artists that release a dropbox link to that month's art that only current supporters get, this is our way around releasing dozen-ish page releases of the comic in installments.
Sadly, the installments are in response to people thinking $3 wasn't what the comic was worth and kept sharing the art. As we've said before, we'd have been posting a free page every other page and be up to at least a page a week, on a slow month, if not more like 6-8 a month. We made 20 pages this month, that'd be 10 pages that would've been posted up here. We're very thankful for everyone who supports the comic, and the people who kept the comic going to get to 20 pages a month, those VIPs we've had since the first few months where we could only afford to make 4-6 pages on Patreon, they came before the last resort time wall - that's something that started 6 months ago in a near 4 year comic - sadly coming late has its downsides, and none we didn't warn about months in advance.
We think the previews are enough to incentivize people, and every installment you see a bunch of pages we haven't shared here. Yes the previews are now in advance of pages 1-105 where you start as a Patron, but it's that or doesn't advertise to new people... sadly the team isn't willing to give the comic out for free in response to art thieves pushing us to stop publishing it for free at our own pace.
Even more incentive is that we'll be inviting supporters for our new projects from our current pool of trusted supporters - maybe not even touching public sites to start with - we've had too much trouble with entitled trolls and threats and a lot of armchair-business management.
