OK! So the backlog has all been used up which means RetroBlade will now be returning to weekly updates over here (it was fun while it lasted... XD). New pages every Monday. Hope you guys are all enjoying the latest developments, we're getting to some really juicy stuff now <3
On that note- on a scale of Axel, how are ya feelin'? I'm a 15 today, which ain't too bad. Heh!
Hey guys!
Just to let you all know I'm back from the holiday hiatus and gonna start updating again here next week. So watch out for that :)
2017 was a BAD year for me, but it's in the past now and everyone knows time travel to the past isn't *actually* possible, so there's no fear of ever seeing it again. HOORAY! On to bigger and better things...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm BACK! :D
RetroBlade will resume updates on Tapastic (Tapas?) every Monday and Friday until further notice. THANK YOU for sticking around for the past 5 months! A substantial backlog has accumulated, so let's get to it <3 *rolls up sleeves*
Hey everyone,
I'm sure you've all heard about the Terms of Service changes to Tapas and that many webcomics are now leaving this platform as a result.
Since the ToS in question have now been withdrawn by Tapas, RetroBlade will remain for a while longer. I figured it wouldn't hurt to stick around to see how things pan out.
However, updates here will be on pause. I will now be focusing more on the main website retrobladecomic.com (which was always #1 anyway), and of course Patreon, so if you'd like the latest pages, extras, and to keep in the loop I'd recommend subscribing to RSS/bookmarking etc (the main website is ahead of Tapas anyway, and has tons of extra content on it, all free!).
You can also follow the Twitter accounts to stay updated: @freyahorn @RetroBladeComic
The community here is fantastic and I really appreciate the new readers and creators I've found through this site, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I can't really trust this platform anymore </3
Thank you everyone for your support and readership and hope to see you all on the other side <3
I never get much new subscribers here but love the community tools. What draconian changes did they make in the ToS? Were they saying they own anything published on this platform or something??
Pretty much. Here's the thread:

Basically, they sneaked in a Right of First Refusal clause without clearly notifying people, this is something a publisher who pays you might do and it's about owning exclusive rights for monetising your IP. They wanted 30 days notice if you want to monetise your own content elsewhere.
It was later removed (after tons of backlash):

Hi guys! RetroBlade is having a catch up week so there will be no new page here today. To make up for it, I'm going to start uploading some Cast cards and extras (into a new series) so be sure to subscribe to that if you're interested in finding out more about the RB universe ;)
Thanks so much all of you for subscribing/commenting/liking and just generally being awesome, especially the tippers, you are the best and it really motivates me to keep updating here <3 thank you!
Cast Cards!
I realised most people probably haven't seen these (there's an entire section for them all on the main website) so I'll start posting them up here too :)
