Watch this you stupid donkey!

Sorry to insult you, but that's just a small taste of the lovable prodding from chef Gordon Ramsey in the sixth season of his FOX reality show "Hell's Kitchen." This show includes competition, cooking, cursing, and possibly even some fist fights this season. Ramsey welcomes you back with 16 new contestants who are all vying for the grand prize of being executive chef at a fabulous restaurant. Head on over to POW and check out the review of the premiere episode. 

Go to the FORUM to discuss your thoughts on the show. This season should be burning hot. Just like the fire coming out of Ramsey's ears up there.

The Legionus are attacking!!

I know it's not as slow as I said, but I wanted to tease you guys with this new page of Angel Savior. It looks like things have gotten out of control for good ol' Jason! I don't think he's going to make it! He would need some kind of a miracle to survive this abrupt beatdown. How much can one man bleed? The Legionus are tearing him apart and his body can't take much more. See it all go down in  Angel Savior!!

Angel Savior as a web comic?

The initial idea behind the web comics was to put them out a page at a time and when they were at a certain page number they would be collected together and sold as books. After various polls posted on the forum, it's been decided that you can read Angel Savior online. It will come out VERY slowly, but still be available in the STORE. So if you can't wait you can just have the actual book in your hands.

So here is Angel Savior issue #1 page 10! I hope you enjoy!
