Citadel Chapter 0

This 2-story, 32 page one-shot comic was the MFA Thesis I created at the Center for Cartoon Studies in 2010 after completing their 2-year comics MFA program. It is the genesis of Citadel as a story, and the year I spent working on this yielded much of the worldbuilding upon which I would launch the full Citadel series a couple years later, and continue to create to this day. It is a fun, if rough, piece of my creative history, but non-cannon to the main comic. I hope you enjoy this peek behind the creative curtain to see what ideas have moved ahead and what's been left behind.
