Hey there! Just posted a promotional video trailer to the “About the Comic” page (see link in top nav bar) for anyone who hasn’t seen it. I made this a few years back when I was using Flash 8 and had just started shopping my comic around the syndicates. I purchased a great sound track for it (which totally makes the video) from a royalty free music site called Shockwave Sound, so make sure your speakers are turned up!

[ {Ralf: Gothra, this is Ralf... Open hanger bay 782, please.} ]
[ {Radio: This is Gothra's avatar... You'll need to submit your security code.} {Ralf: WHAT?! There's no security code!} ]
[ {Ralf: Xyoans are technopaths and... HEY! Wait! I'M the CAPTAIN! You let me...} {Radio: Code, please.} ]
[ {Ralf: GREAT! I have ONE crew member! They're a ROBOT and there's STILL a mutiny!} ]
[ {Zorphah: We're back with Ralf the Destroyer. So by now you have no peer group and your family keeps putting you in suspended animation...} ]
[ {Zorphah: Was it a lonely time for you?} {Ralf: No, I've always been an introspective sort.} ]
[ {Ralf: It gave me time to think and look deep inside and answer some of life's more important questions...} ]
[ {Zorphah: Like why they didn't love you?} {Ralf: Yeah...} ]
[ Okay, I'm here to destroy Earth; I've got the gun and the mandate... All I have to do is push this button to start the sequence. ]
[ Okay, I'll just press it NOW... I mean, NOW! Drats... ]
[ I'm going to do it... I'm going to do it... NOW! No, NOW! Now! No, really, NOW! ]
[ I wish my conscience and my ambition had more in common. ]
[ Poised over Earth in this expansive dreadnaught, I wonder about the task I've been assigned... ]
[ My natural distrust of others, along with the ease and expense of this mission, seem a bit unsettling. ]
[ I should probably just trust the council, destroy Earth and be done with it. And yet... ]
[ *sigh* Nothing slows down the wheels of progress like paranoia. ]
[ Here I stand, Ralf the Destroyer, poised to obliterate a whole world. In the silence of this massive war ship, I contemplate Earth's future. ]
[ Are its people consumed with the destruction of each other, their world and galaxy? From here it seems so beautiful... ]
[ I guess beauty is really in the eye of proximity. ]
[ So the Council made me, Ralf the Destroyer, judge of Earth. Actually, they call all of us "Xyoans" Destroyers. We're really a very gentle people. Sure curiosity may have led to the eradication of 16 solar systems and 9 suns... ]
[ But those were purely accidental... ]
[ People say, "It's the thought that counts ", but they rarely mean it. ]
Ralf: Wow! Me, Ralf the Xyoan, judge of an entire world on behalf of the Trans-Galactic Council and given a ship with enough firepower to destroy the Earth with one plasma blast.
Ralf: Which I'm hoping they won't take personally.
Ominous Voice: Like a galactic predator, the Noropian flagship "Gothra" (a continent sized battleship) approaches Earth cloaked in the Moon's shadow...
Ominous Voice: Size - 1000mi across, Plasma Cannon - 1 Zettwatt, Purpose - Destroy Earth, Sole occupant - Ralf the Destroyer
Ralf: I just love the reverb on this PA system
[ The Destroyer is coming! ]
