Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil has been out for a while. But now, it has an official listing on Tiina Vilu's growing Independent Comics Database. In spite the name similarity, ICDB is not affiliated with IMDB. So what is ICDB?
Tiina's most basic stated goal with the site is one that Dozerfleet seems to agree with: giving creators with online comic works they'd love to get out into the world, to influence readers with for purposes of exchange of thought and discourse; a means of listing their work in a place that will both grant some additional legitimacy to the work's existence and provide visitors of the site with a go-to reference.
Genre categories are limited, and the perversion mafia seems to have had their way with defining some of the top categories. Other creative minds will simply need to write more and better material, and make their submissions, to turn the tide in the culture / spiritual war. But with some TLC from creators like you, Tiina's experiment in providing all indie creators a platform for their ideas can genuinely take off.
Purge-Flare is currently listed under the "assassin" genre, as it seemed the most fitting for this dark antihero. The tale is the first machinomic to be featured on ICDB, the first hybrid comic-storybook to reference in any respect the world of GTA 5 to this capacity, as well as one of the few entries to be in ten different languages on the site! (For comparison, Hyunseok Yun's DICE is listed as being in nine different languages.)
