Monster Commute
A Traffic Novel from the World of Monstru
Climb aboard the Steam Crow with Chadworth, Beastio, and Kip as they travel the haunted highways of Monstru, an industrialized monster world on the other side of Obscuria. Strange places, stranger creatures, and plenty of trouble along the way.
Monster Commute was my daily webcomic from 2008 to 2011, and it was a monstrous undertaking.
Five mornings a week, I’d get up at 4:30 AM, draw a comic, and have it finished and published by 6 AM, before heading off to my day job. I did this for years, creating hundreds of comics and building an entire world along the way.
Eventually, Steam Crow got busy enough that I couldn’t keep up with the daily schedule. But what came out of those early mornings was something much bigger than I’d imagined.
This was years before I’d even dreamed up the Monster Rangers. Yet the creatures, characters, places, and peculiar history of Monstru would eventually become the foundation of the Monster Rangers universe.
And it all started right here.
I’ve restored the original comics and collected them here for you to explore. They’re presented as I created them, a strange little time capsule from 2008–2011, before the world grew into what it is today.
I’m mighty glad to share them with you again.
