Only one who possesses a monopoly on fear itself can be the ultimate winner in a war of terror

With both Hampton Jitney and Claverack Hillsdale missing after the events detailed in "By the Numbers", certain forces- long exiled from our universe- begin to seep back into the world of men and the notice of man's governments- sparking off a Terror War.

The Skeleton Prince and other old friends return to the storyline. The End of the Beginning

These are "arc stories", just not necessarily a part of the main narrative found in the long-form stuff like "Starry Ones" and "By the Numbers". Saying that, the origins of many key characters are found in these tales.

You'll see Mitch Waxman's first fumbling attempts at 3D, as well as some of the more modern Golden Horde stuff is here. The oldest of these stories was probably drawn not too long after Mitch finished the art on Deadworld:Necropolis for Caliber and was part of the original collection of comics when Weirdass launched back in 2000. The youngest probably dates to mid 2005.

Who is not dead,
but instead lies dreaming?

What is it that does not die,
but may, for strange aeons lie?

Where is the great gate,
and what lurks behind it?

Why are dark secrets held in the
dread Necronomicon coming true?

How can you know what it is,
that moves through the heavens?

for the web-
The Starry Ones is a daily comic strip that ran daily for 173 weeks from April 2000- August 2003.
Set in a world of far flung alien empires, dueling wizards, and a returning race of demonic Old Ones, this is the very core of the Weirdass Comics universe.

Hampton Jitney worked long and hard to create Simyan and facilitate the release of the Old Ones. When his cosmic insurgency failed- he lost everything, including his religion, most of his magickal strength, and control over his tower in Manahttan. Still the greatest of wizards, Jitney is a shadow of himself after the exertions detailed in the Starry Ones.
The immortal wizard, who is known in the mortal world as the owner of the global investment bank Nomus Patri, has seen six centuries of investment wither away due to the interference of another wizard- The Hooded Man- Claverack Hillsdale.
Despite his weakness, Jitney will have revenge served hot to him by a shadowy global cabal of Nomus Patri executives who are called The Numbers.
