Inner Light Sequel Comic "The Outer Light" - Page 2

Don't know if anyone is still following this. I had forgotten about it for a while. Chapters 2-4 are up, with chapter 5 coming in a couple weeks.

The artwork is still the weak point for me, the surprised Picard at the end of chapter 2 looks truly awful.

Still an interesting story, even if I can't imagine where it's going.

Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4

Interesting, I'll have to give this one a look-over.

The art in it looks pretty horrible, though. In the first four pages linked in the OP the final panel with Riker looking "surprised" at the vessel on the viewscreen looks less "surprised" and more like "just saw Michael Moore naked riding a unicycle."

Oh great.

Anyone got a few extra gallons of brain bleach, so I can wash that image out of my mind

^ Maybe the unicycle also had no seat

I have to say the fact that the artist insists on putting the saucer section on the star-drive section sideways really annoys me. That really is my only quibble about the artwork.

This whole things has been a trainwreck from the start. The artwork is atrocious and the story is just terrible. The author may have written the original story, but he doesn't understand that you don't make sequels to stories like this, you just have the characters feel the aftereffects of their experiences.

This seems to have disappeared completely from the trekmovie site.

Chapter 5, plus the earlier chapters, can be found here.

Man, that's some sloppy artwork. I mean, it's unforgivably sloppy. The line between the shoulders and front panel of Geordi's uniform crawls up and down in the first panels, and the expressions are muddy and run from stoic to slack jawed without much in between.

Yeah I agree. It's unfortunate because I like the concept of the story, but I can't really bring myself to read it all with art work the way it is.

I mean, for crying out loud, this looks nothing like the enterprise D. It looks much more like Voyager: http://journeytotheinnerlight.com/ou...ht/page4-4.php

Also I'm pretty sure geordi's stupid expression on that page was just copy and pasted and zoomed in for two panels. if that's not lazy then i don't know what is

i appreciate the effort for the most part though.

I tried asking about this @ TrekMovie tonight as a message in their chat section and within ten minutes, my question had been deleted. So I went to site feedback and posted a question asking why my legitimate question had been deleted, only to find THAT message deleted about 20 minutes later.

So... yeah. I guess they'd rather just pretend like it never happened, apparently.

M'rk, son of Mogh · June 14 2012, 05:27 AM

I actually love the art.
It has a surrealistic dream-like quality which really seems to fit the tone of the story.

They must think it's a government website.

I have been wondering what happened with this. I wonder if it is legal issues.

It's still here:
http://journeytotheinnerlight.com/outerlight/

but TrekMovie must have been asked to not promote an unlicensed product that is in seeming competition with the holder of the current exclusive TNG comics license, IDW.

Read the first part. Horrible art and at least decent writing. Not enough interest to look up the remaining chapters.
