Common Questions and Answers.


How is my information on the Character Application form used?
Your submitted information is used exclusively to include your character in the comic and your email is used to personally contact you about its use. No mailing lists or automated spam.
I do not share your data with third parties, and it can be deleted upon request. Please note that characters that are already included in the comic may only have their name modified upon submission of a removal request.
Does this comic follow the canon S.T.A.L.K.E.R timeline?
Not necessarily. While story elements and themes from the original trilogy are built upon in this comic, I am not strictly following any official timeline that will lead to the latest game.
How often are chapters going to be released, how can I be notified of them?
Chapters are not currently on a set schedule, but I would like to release at least one chapter a month. A proper notification system will be worked out in the meantime, if you have any suggestions for which, please leave a message below.
