Back in September, Jim Zubkavich decided to place his graphic novel Makeshift Miracle, a book ten years in the making with art by Shun Hong Chan, all online for free. With a new page Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the comic has been plugging along and has finally reached the end of its first chapter. Beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written, Makeshift Miracle is a far departure from what you probably know Zub best (a little comic called Skullkickers, anyone?), and best of all, its absolutely free.
So what’s a fun way to celebrate the finishing of the first chapter? By getting a version of it that you can read at your own pace with you own comfort level — whatever works! As Jim Zub writes,
As part of UDON’s experiment to get Makeshift Miracle out to as many viewers as possible, we’re launching a torrent of the complete first ‘issue’ (which wrapped up today). All 21 beautiful pages, plus a bonus page for torrent downloaders letting them know about the series, asking them to support our eventual book pre-order.
Post the torrent everywhere, re-seed it, share it, let everyone know about the story we’re building, page by atmospheric page.
The new chapter begins today at MakeshiftMiracle.com, so get caught up either online at the site, via a PDF/CBR you can download, or find the comic in torrents.
Either way, when the price of admission is free, you really have no excuse not to.
