Are you disappointed the only good slice of life US NERDS comic is getting put on the back burner for actual pornography?
>>
this is the guy who writes the rock cocks right?

you'd think added a story to porn would make it hotter, but in reality it just makes it boring as fuck
>>
Wait, if the redhead is into girls then why does fat blond guy let his wife shower with her?
>>
Rock Cocks was the inferior comic. Sucks that that this ending was pretty unsatisfying too.
>>
>>84500107

The problem with narrative porn is that when you're trying to push a narrative along but you need the characters to fuck every chapter all the fucking ends up seeming really contrived.

>>84500144

Blaster Nation isn't ENDING, they're just making RC their priority. BN will be once a week AT MOST when it comes back. I suspect even that schedule will slip frequently until it basically doesn't exist anymore.
>>
>>84500143
Because they're just friends.
Also he's pretty ambivalent about everything that isn't old video games.

My interest for BN kind of waned a few years back. I'm kinda happy they're putting more focus on their smut comic, since that's apparently what they wanted to be more successful with.

>just wanna see Rinnie and Ash bang in Blaster Nation

It's an upbeat strange funkish forest feeling.

Yes, but only because Rock Cocks isn't sexy. The art-style isn't suited for sexy.

>>
>>84500013
I've bitched about it before but it does bug me that the whole pitch for their Patreon was to get enough money to STOP being chained to Slipshine so they could do their own comics, and for a while it seemed like they were able to do that but now they're going back VOLUNTARILY? Like I dunno niggas, I dunno
>>
>>84502884
Ah. I'll have to give it a read. RC has been sorta neat, but I'm not really into the whole "Rise and Fall of Rock Star Fame" drama stories, which I assume is where its going. It'd be cool if they manage to subvert that though, find some other source of conflict.
>>
>>84503562
I feel like its been going too fast, with everything just falling into the band's lap after playing one show, one time.

They didn't need Roxanne for conflict, they've whizzed past every decent chance for conflict in the plot. Being homeless, finding gigs, a shady seeming record executive scooping them up so quickly, controversial music, getting a record made, ect. Everything comes so easily to Steg and Suria, I just don't care about them as characters.

The porn is only thing the comic takes time to 'flesh out', and it's only slightly above average. The artist draws bodies really well, but her faces suck.

I find the characters in Blaster Nation to be way more likable, way more fun and way more interesting than anything Rock Cocks has to offer.

Even the porn in The Rock Cocks is so short for how little there actually is to the writing standard Brad had for Blaster Nation.

Overall incredibly disappointed. I like Rock Cocks. But Blaster Nation is a billion times better.

About the only time BN came close to VB was when the red-headed gal met the bum and didn't want to go down that route. It doesn't look like she's made any improvement though beyond just saying she will.

But hey, why improve yourself when there's vidya and anime?

Anyways, if I wanted to read about people ruining their lives, I'd add my cousin on jewbook.

Isn't the porn paying their bills?

I vastly prefer Blaster Nation, but Rock Cocks is clearly their passion project and I would rather they make comics they want to make than be forced by their fans to do another they may not care as much for.

I respect both Brad and Leslie enough to support their decision even if it means losing to porn.
I just hope the pacing in RC gets slowed down and Brad actually writes conflict for the story, even if it's tempting to use it a s only a showcase of different sex scenes.

Well it was good while it lasted but now that it's being put in the back burner they're basically done with it since every character has gone through an arc except the asshe we started this damn book with since he's basically back to exactly the point he was in the start except with even less friends to give a shit about him

Rinnie's flaws:
>judgmental
>lazy
>selfish

Rinnie nearly gets kicked out of her house because of a decision she made due to her flaws

Rinnie is forced to confront the consequences of her decision and be mature about it

Upon learning more about this other person she instead says "okay you know what, let's give this a shot"

>band-aid solution????

Like no, it's not perfect, but it's better than a lot of shit that gets as popular as Blaster Nation did. And there's a clear arc of improvement on the part of the creators as time goes on.

Rock Cocks had a really strong opening in my opinion (that first chapter was BEAUTIFUL) but it seems like the lewd stuff is just getting in the way of pacing now rather than adding to the experience. Again, though, Brad and Leslie have shown themselves to be more than capable of learning and improvement as time goes on.

would still rather have blaster nation porn tho

Yes, some people are in a relationship because of genuine interest in each other as people, and thus don't bullshit each other to get into each other's pants.

I think the point is that significant others are human beings with their own thoughts and feelings and aren't going to be tricked into leaving you for some red dyed clam action, and if they are then you probably don't have a very strong relationship anyway.

Did Blaster Nation ever overcome the issue of literally every main character being a horrible person?

That story arc gave me a whole lotta laughs.

>>84508962
At this point they should stop calling Rock Cocks a porn comic, I'd much rather it be considered a story comic that has sex sometimes.

That's a selling point for slice of life comics like 2 Guys and Guy. It doesn't fucking work for comics with any sort of plot because you can't be invested in assholes if they aren't charming.

And fucking nobody in Blaster Nation was charming last I checked, which admittedly was a few years ago.

not only the love part but the subplot with Hai and the radio station was also really compelling.
>>
>>84512245
Because we've been doing it for 5 years and over 500 pages and it just hasn't been fun lately. We're out of ideas, or at the very least, out of appealing, interesting ones that will keep the comic exciting for us and the readers. Oh boy, Matt's military money might run out at some point, he might need to get a job. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Not to say we don't have ANY ideas left, but it's been getting harder and harder and just not very fun for us.

>>84512468
Surprisingly, /co/ is the only place I ever see discussing the comic, outside of our own comments section. While Blaster Nation has some fucking amazing fans, it's still never really been "popular". Hell, I don't think I've ever seen a BN thread here go over 100 posts except for when Rinnie/Ash fucked or I think when Logan lost his arm.
>>
>>84512468

Hey, I wanted to see the rest of Matt's story. Especially when he formed The Two Best Friends Play.

>>84512666

>>
>>84503369
>Let's Be Friends Again hasn't updated in 3 years

Feels bad man.
>>
>>84513267
Pretty much. If we can't come up with anything by then, we'll just end the comic. We'd rather end the comic when people still like it rather than drag it on to the point where everyone hates it because we ran out of good ideas.

>>84512683
>>84512719
Also I have no idea what you're talking about. Rock Cocks updates twice a week and we're knocking down BN to push RC up to three. Also, the majority of webcomics don't update by full chapters because it takes too long and most people lose interest and forget your comic.
>>
>>84513457
There is one way to tell a story when you run out of ideas. You gotta break the status que. Get characters out of their comfort zone. Put challenges in there. And I don't mean edgy crap. You just gotta mix things up even if a story is about robbing a Pet Store or road trip.
>>
>>84513622
That's actually what we'll be doing when we start updating again. Not robbing a pet store, but just breaking the status quo. Going to see if some of the characters can stand on their own.
>>
>>84513709
I believe your characters can hold their own if nudged in the right direction. They're not just in-your-face punchlines for every issue and panel for as much I read.
>>
Is there any other comics you plan to make beyond RC and BN in the future?
>>
>>84513821
Thanks. I'm hoping it'll go over well.

>>84513900
Definitely. We hinted at some of them in Blaster Nation. After Rock Cocks is done, we're thinking about doing a comic about colorful street punks fighting throughout a city, ala Jet Set Radio/The Warriors. We'd also really love to do that story about a buff rodeo cowboy wrestling giant monsters for a living.
>>
>>84513709
How did you feel about the end result of the story with Matt's dad? Reader reaction, presentation, all that junk.

>>84513987
>we're thinking about doing a comic about colorful street punks fighting throughout a city, ala Jet Set Radio/The Warriors.
Now that sounds interesting, senpai.
>>
>>84513991
I personally really liked doing the Logan chapter. It was fun for me to explore Logan as a character, it gave Leslie some really interesting, intense stuff to draw, I think we did that whole chapter the best we could. I've seen a few people say that they dropped the comic because of it, but a whole hell of a lot more people really dug it, and I'm glad they did.

On the same subject, I think the fighting game chapter was the worst thing we've ever made.
>>
The main reason this comic doesn't get a fuckton of threads here that lasts for day with 100+ posts is that there is not much to hate about it. The thing about /co/ is that we religiously read comics that piss us off. Like that guy who likes Transformers who makes that collage comic I'm not going to name.

When Blaster Nation gets a new issue we go "Oh, this was pretty good" and that's it. I don't know if this should be taken as a good thing or bad thing at the end of the day.
>>
>>84514223

We were having lots of anger over girls having sex with girls and a black man having sex before as well as a dude having feelings for a dude.

Right now we don't have a lot of threads is because the flashback arc killed it for a lot of people who didn't give a shit about the characters it focused on.

>>84514863
No, I don't but I like there to be communication, it's a big part of our relationship. If you want to do sexual/romantic stuff without talking about it first, then we need to talk about our relationship to determine comfort levels on such things so we can work out a system that works well for all involved.

>>84514948

Are you trying to suggest there's stuff you don't want me to do?

Anon, you mean a lot to me, but there are limits to my comfort as I know there are for you as well, if you're not willing to talk to me about that to ensure that we're both happy in this relationship, then I don't want to do this with you.

AND SCENE.

The lesson gals and pals is that if you don't trust your partner or are unwilling to communicate with your partner, then it's a bad relationship.
