@Heidifisk That's interesting with older female leads in 30s and clueless main character, that's awesome basing the sites on your hometown too. And who knows, maybe Alma not showing as often maybe adds some mystery to her?
Similarly always fun to setting up things to not be what they initially seem.
Keep it up!
As you mention older Female, there might be more to the main characters' mom than we first see
Sickboy started as an action horror videogame Idea
where the player was the carrier of a virus and anyone he infected would instantly mutate into monsters that will attack you. The player had to rescue survivors from those already infected, without infecting them in process. Side effects granted the player the ability to manipulate states of matter (liquid, solid, gas, plasma etc) and a fighting chance!
A spin on the Zombie/infection genre where the player was the infection source, had to avoid contaminating NPCS especially valuable ones, but also had action/combat elements like Devil May Cry or Tekken Force.
As a comic it kept the 3-d videogame aesthetic. The story expanded significantly and went for a presentation that feels more TV series. Something along the lines of Stranger Things meets The Boys
1st & 3rd Person Comic
A noticeable feature of the comic series is the inclusion of 1st person (meant to feel like a FPS videogame or found footage), transition into 1st person is tied to MC Owen's abilities

The story follows brothers Owen and Evan.
Family and brotherhood are major themes (it can also be seen as a genuine kinship between a straight and gay sibling too). Owen is an easy protagonist to step into as the sheltered little brother, while Evan is both a bag of surprises and protective big brother.
After hearing an eerie hum on April 5th, both brothers become super spreaders of a virus. They unwillingly start an outbreak in their hometown but also gain unusual abilities.


The brothers encounter other super spreaders. But only time will tell which of them can truly be trusted. (only super spreaders are immune to mutating into monsters upon close contact).
Expect rollercoaster style action mixed with fear of accidentally infecting others and mystery powers.
Display of powers are unusual and unpredictable but blend elements form other enjoyable genres (sword n sorcery, zombies, vampires, lycans, superheroes, and martial arts)
Some clips from comic of Evan transforming his Spit into solid matter, which is one of the earlier abilities displayed:


Compared to the infected,
there's something lycan-like and gas-like about this opponent

As someone who is a sucker for immersion and background details, expect to find lots of it in this series. Excited to see what theories people come up with based on what they see.



It's my 1st time making a webcomic. While I hope to eventually update the layouts of the earlier episodes, it's been a fun learning experience with each episode. You'll also notice the vast improvement in later episodes.
Also I'd gladly support back anyone who supports sickboy. On the Tapas version of Sickboy, I enjoy doing cool Tapas Series shoutouts for fellow creators who are active subscribers. (i plan to continue this next year)
[was hoping to grab some examples n drop here but Tapas.io moving slow
examples can be seen across the series]
This got long, I truly took advantage when u said "feel free to make a long post about it" 
Thanks everyone who passed by n read this, and good luck with everyone's series too
