1 Year with Zoey


December 14th, 2024, marks Super Negative 1 year anniversary. I'm still kinda shocked that its been one year since the release of the very first issue.

I still remember the time when this whole series was going to be about Super Zero, before I changed his name to Super Negative to emphasize how terrible of a super-hero he is, and then I saw myself turning him into a girl (fun fact: It was because of a joke).

I wanted Super Negative to be a small comic series where I'd draw on my free time when I had nothing to do, but it then accidentally because the reason for some of my sleepless nights. I wouldn't say it was worth it, though. I heavily dislike, to not say hate, some of the issues and the fact that they were written and drawn by me. I sometimes refuse to reread my own work because of how much I dislike it (fun fact 2: that lead to me not realizing that I forgot to upload a whole page of issue 12 and leaving it like that for months, meaning way too many people read the whole thing with an entire page of context missing). I'm not proud of Super Negative, at least not now. I want to make the series better, but I just kinda feel as if I'll never be able to, which are proven by the terrible and declining results I notice throughout. Not mentioning the fact that I missed the publishing schedule twice in a row, with the second time being for months. I would've been able to release way more issues this year if it wasn't for my incompetence.

But there's at least people who enjoy it, and I'm grateful for that, even if I can't find the reason to why people like comic the way they do. Thanks for that. Thanks for assuring me that at least someone would read my comic. I'm also thankful for my friends, who supported the comic since the moment I told them my idea, my ex-history teacher, who was not only the best teacher I had but also motivated the idea, @peachmoth , for enjoying the series since the beginning, helping me out with some ideas and redesigning Super Zero for issue 7.

I also wanted to do something to celebrate Super Negative 1st year of being alive (and being almost killed twice), which is the drawing of Zoey. I did it with my brush pen and fine liner and I actually quite like it. I would draw the comic traditionally, but the only scanner I have available like to act dead when needed + it was difficult to find somewhere to buy a brush pen and I don't want to excessively use the only one I could find.

And that's kinda it. I hope next year things get better for Zoey (better as if not get almost killed for the third time) and I hope y'all have a nice day.
