Originally more of a comic strip gag-a-day based series it has evolved into a complex, plot-driven epic story while still keeping its sense of humour. The art and story have both gone through many experiments and progressions, all of which have only improved the comic. Its archives have over 1,000 pages, but one shouldn't be scared off by this large number. Most of the first 800 pages are in a simple 4 panel strip format unles the current pages. Besides if you end up enjoying it, that's all the more comic to enjoy!</p> <p align="center" class="style12">The first set of pages were removed and replacded with new content in August of 2009 to provide a better introduction to the comic. The original pages and other comics no longer in the main archive can be found in the <a href="http://eecomics.net/BonusArchives.php">Bonus Archives</a>. EE was originaly set up with no goals in mind so the comic can be a bit weird to follow in the begining. There was many things like some punciation errors, bad bubble placement, small font and so on in the early pages from when I simply was inexperienced, but everything smooths out pretty quickly.</p> <p align="center" class="style12">EE Comics is written and drawn by <a href="http://njhuff.com/Artist.html">NJ Huff</a>, you can hear a podcast interview with her on EE Comics over <a href="javascript:goAudio('/talkshoe/web/tscmd/apop/269276');">here</a>.</p> <p align="center" class="style12">Though free EE really relies on the support of its readers. Donations are always greatly appreciated no matter the amount and $1 will always get you a free desktop wallpaper and all donations go twoards getting you more updates as EE's current schedual is Mondays and Fridays.</p> <p align="center" class="style12"> </p> <p align="center" class="style12"><img src="/images/TheStory.png" width="300" height="70"></p> <p align="center" class="style12">The protagonists of our story are a group of kids in their late teens and early twenties, all living in the same apartment building (known only as The Apartment). This is no ordinary building obviously and seems to have a conscious of its own (as well as a fancy for making armadillos appear randomly). In one of the rooms it contains a portal that can access other dimensions. This is often used by the inhabitants to travel to different worlds usually in search of a series of items called Artifacts or The Puzzle. What these pieces do together is unknown, but they collect them for rent for their inhuman landord. The residents themselves are just as strange as the apartment setup and are often referred to as The Apartment Kids by their Villains. The all tend to have strange backgrounds, odd personalities, and/or supernatural powers. We follow both the ordinary and extrodinary aspects of their life in The Apartment in this story.</p> <p align="center" class="style12">There is also a set of self-proclaimed Villains who love to meddle with the affairs of the apartment kids, including trying to collect and steal their artifacts. Their leader is more in it for fun than profit though, and has some personal backstory with some of the tenants. </p> <p align="center" class="style12"> </p> <p align="center" class="style12">There are several plots going on at any given time in EE, it can be tricky to keep up with but everything links together bit by bit as you read on. It is primarily a comedy, with adventure, drama, and many other sub genres. It can get serious and pretty violent at times too.</p> <p align="center" class="style12">For more information visit the <a href="Cast.php">cast</a> and <a href="http://eecomics.net/FAQ.php">FAQ</a> pages or just <a href="http://eecomics.net/?strip_id=1">start reading.</a></p> </th> </tr> </table> <p align="center" class="style12"> </p> <p align="center" class="style12"> </p> <div id="footer"> <div id="footer-bg"> <div id="credits"> <a href="http://eecomics.net">Emergency Exit Comics</a> is Copyright © <a href="mailto:eecomics(AT)gmail.com">NJ Huff</a>.
