Tell Me More 164-165-END

 I decided to upload the last two pages at the same time. This ending is very painful to me because of many things, to the point where I had to include an author's note. Thank you guys for sticking with me. I assure you, the next comic will not be so dark (for the sake of my poor heart). I've already begun to sketch the next comic out, and will be posting a character sketch on Monday before posting the cover on Wednesday! :-) It's called 'Divine Extinction'.

I don't know what to say, but thank you.

God, with every page that comes out, I'm more and more happy that I ended up supporting your creations. They tug at the heartstrings and really makes you think... The entire-- ah, 'thing' going on in the USA right now really has cops in a bad light imo, and the alarmist, often naive accusations against them serves to remove all humanity from them, remove sympathy, make them seem like monsters, and while I'm not qualified to talk about that that much either... it's important to remember that cops are just human too... that have to deal with shit... and as you say, they need that support as well, that people often overlook because they're cops. 'They have to deal with it'... 'They signed up for it', etc. Thanks for sharing this, again, Grim, and thanks for making me think.

Thank you for the fantastic story, just one of the best I've read in a long time. It has opened my eyes to many subjects and issues I never if rarely seen tackled by other writers. This story has helped me appreciate my local law enforcement more and even made me consider becoming one too. Either way, I will go out there doing my best to lend a hand and ear, whether it's now and later in medical or as an officer later. The ending left me shocked, surprised that Jonesy's story will be left ambiguous after the ending. Not gonna lie, the ending hurts but in hindsight it may be best left as is. Its understandable to leave it this way, likely Jonesy could recover over a long period and it would take months of writing and drawing to tell the rest of the story to reach that conclusion and even then it may not hold as much of a strong message like this ending concluded with. One thing I do hope though besides a good ending for Jonesy is that I would like to see more of this world you've built within the comic. Damn good world like this could be used for all sorts of stories. I will be left to ponder what Jonesy's life would be like after this comic but there could always be fan art to fill that emotional gap. You are one hell of a story teller Grim, you got me invested in a story like this and now I crave for more. You got yourself a loyal follower! I am already anticipating for your next story!

This comic was amazing. I can’t wait for the next series!

Eyup, this story reminds me a lot of something I'd read in Sin City. Similar dilemmas. Similar endings. That is to say, nothing is truly solved in the end. It certainly was a good read, though. So thanks!

In all honesty, I was expecting something along the lines of coming to a realization and starting on the path towards fixing herself, and having that be the finale. Still not wrapped up in a pretty bow, not even a promise that she'll succeed; but at least a first step forward. For it to not pan out that way hurts; especially seeing Sol have to become as cold as the metal he's made from when this was his opportunity to offer comfort/aid to his friend and partner instead. There's about fifteen different ways this moment could have gone and still been left open-ended with an uncertain future, but the way it WAS ended will haunt me for a long time. You're one of the best storytellers I know Grim, and that's no small compliment. Pulling something off like this with the respect it's due, and keeping anxiety from ruining it at the same time, takes a hell of a lot of effort. Not only did you pull that off, but you also built a fascinating world that we've only scratched the surface of as readers, succeeded at landing powerful emotional investments, and tackled a very dark set of subjects that few people are willing to take on. You've got yourself a dedicated fan, and I look forward to your future works regardless of whether they're filled with joy, sorrow, both or something else entirely.

I feel for Jonesy, but as a storyteller I really appreciate this ending. There's always a temptation to tie things up in a little bow and make it satisfying for the *character*, but satisfaction for the character doesn't always translate into the best story. Often not. And I appreciate you going through with telling the story you wanted to tell. I'd actually written a much more detailed response, but Chrome kind of ate it when I tried to submit it, and maybe it's for the best since I may have gotten too personal with that response. I did want to say, though, that although the ending is ambiguous and you say that you're not qualified or trained to write a journey to a happy ending, I think the capacity and path is still there for Jonesy. That's how I like to see it anyway... and maybe it's best left there.

I thank you for this amazing story and the amazing work you do. I'll never know what hardships the police go through, or military or others who serve our country personally as I know I wouldn't be able to pass any tests they have now do I think I could mentally handle the situations. I know I can't do much, but I'd love to help others who go through problems like this. Even if all I can do is lend an ear, I hope it can help.
