Yea, absolutely. Magnifique! Really well written action. Love the bad guys you've got. The concept of the skin swapping one is great, that's some fucked up shit. Can't wait for more.

Yeah the skin swapping female villain made me do a double take. It really was pretty cool. Great read man. Also liked how Vivian beat Doctor Poison.

Really love your Crimson Fox. Definitely making her seem vulnerable which is great to do with this title. The villains are building fantastically as well very distinct and memorable.

Very well done. Not much more to say. Very well done issue. Well...until the last line. That was painful. Keep em coming.

I know the last line seems cliche and somewhat forced, but I was trying to show some innocence and humor in Vivian's personality at this point in the story. She's not yet aware that she's wrapped up in this deep web of horror and evil yet, and superheroing is just a lark for her. It was supposed to be corny.

Chapter 4 is up now.
You finally get to see some of the disparate plot threads coming together. Another villain is introduced. Vivian gets her first glimpse at the horrors she's going to be facing coming up in the conclusion to "Twenty Pieces of Silver."
Stay tuned for Chapter 5 as the first arc of Ultimate Crimson Fox comes to a close.

Wow, still great man. Love the underlying sexual tension that you keep up throughout your series. The Paris you're carving out is messed up and awesome. Note to self- never eat sausages at a restaurant near a brothel.

Many writers, even in the bigs, complain about their inability to write great dialogue.
In my opinion, smart dialogue is essential, especially in something like this, with comic adventures in prose.
You do an excellent job with dialogue in every issue, conveying a very clear sense of your characters.
Issue #4, like all the others, have been a pleasure to read. Great stuff.

I really love the villains really. The skin swapping villain , who removes his skin is very wild. I like that. I also like Madeline the cannibal who seems to live by eating men. And watching them eat themselves with her power. That is twisted. I like the twisted villains a lot.

Just read the first two issues and it's a definite thumbs up. Keep it up.

Sincere apologies for the lateness of Chapter 5. It is up now and concludes the first arc for the Crimson Fox. Vivian has discovered the identity of the traitor and confronted her, but is left with more questions than answers.
March's issue, #6 should be up in the next week or so. It's going to be a brief departure from the story at hand, and just a one-shot.
You'll have to wait until April and issue #7 to find out where we go from here in the 2-parter appropriately titled "Skin."
I hope you all enjoy this installment!!

That... was disturbing to say the least. Well worth the extra wait.

What'd you find disturbing, Watcher?
Also, I've added a poll over on the Ultimate Crimson Fox board. Your votes, dear readers, will help determine the future of the book. (Ok, not really, but it will determine which order you'll see parts of the backstory in.)

It was appropriately gruesome and vivid in a good way.

Crimson Fox is like the weird monster title and has its own aura about it. I enjoyed the grusome monster the woman in white creates and the other rogue who wears skin of others . I liked the battle with Crimson Fox as well. Nice read and its different.

Chapter 6 of Crimson Fox is up now.
**Advisory**
Issue #6: Depraved, features a fair amount of nudity. While I am not explicit in my descriptions, your imagination might be.
It also contains some adult language, and definitely some adult situations. Honestly, its not that bad, but I thought I'd mention it just in case anyone has issues with reading that kind of thing.
As I mentioned, following each story arc I'll be doing a flashback issue featuring different characters from the series. This issue is a tale of Mademoiselle Marie, aka Josephine Tautin.

I love little break issues that are more character pieces and this was fantastic. Though I disagree with your advisory. Wasn't as strong as 5 in my mind.
And... With every issue of Crimson Fox, my urge to ask you to do a Nightrunner one-shot or have Bilal show up in one of your issues grows ever stronger.

You want it, you got it. The earliest he could be worked into the main title would be around issue 13. I could do a one-shot or even a three issue mini beforehand if you'd be interested.
I guess maybe I felt this one deserved an advisory because the situation was more bondage than crime fighting, everyone was naked, including an underaged girl. And it doesn't have a happy ending for anyone, except maybe the giant.
Just to point it out, cause I'd hate for things to be missed, but go back and re-read issues 4 & 5 with the characters from 6 (besides Jo) in mind. You might see connections to the overall narrative that you might otherwise have missed.

Finally caught up and it's all great. So different from your Aquaman. Honestly, I would think that it was by two different writers if I didn't know better. That shows a lot of depth, which fanfic writers tend not to show all the time. Just by that, we're lucky to have you as a writer.
This title is just wonderfully dark and I love it for that. Honestly based on this issue and the last issue, I think I can safely call this the darkest title we have here. If you'd have asked me last May, what the darkest title on the site would be, it may have been Hellblazer or Batman or perhaps a Suicide Squad title, but Crimson Fox wouldn't have been on there.
I'm not to familiar with her source material. Is she a horror character normally, or is this your Ultimization.

Really great as always. Having her not being able to find the cellar again added a great surreal-ness to the story. Paris has to be the creepiest city in our Ultimate DCU. I look forward to seeing what you do with Nightrunner. I'm not picking up on the overall narrative yet, except the fuck-ton of creepiness, but I'm all aboard for where ever this title goes.
