Artifice is a sci-fi comic written and published by me, Alex Woolfson. All the art is by the awesome and brilliant Winona Nelson.

I hope you enjoy it!

Some navigation tips:

At the bottom of each comic, there is a navigation menu giving you the choice to go to the First, Previous, Next and Last pages. (Or if you’re feeling non-linear, there’s even a “Random” page option.) You can also click on the comic page itself to go directly to the next page (that’s what I like to do). And you can use the following keyboard commands:

  • Left Arrow: Previous Page
  • Right Arrow: Next Page
  • Shift + Left Arrow: First Page
  • Shift + Right Arrow: Last Page
  • Shift + Down Arrow: Random Page

      Thank you. For the printed book, I’ll have something special created, but sometimes simple is best. :)

    Wouldn’t it make sense to link the banner at the top of the page to the actual Kickstarter page?

    And I second that I LOVE this story.  I am completely straight and it doesn’t matter, this is just a great story.

    • http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/ Alex Woolfson

      That would make sense. At first I thought it wasn’t something I could do, but I was able to figure it out. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

      And I’m delighted to hear you’re enjoying the story! I hope you’ll stick with me for The Young Protectors!

    Just
    unbelievably amazing is all that I can say, love this so much, the characters
    are astounding the plot blew my mind, well done I’m hoping the story could
    continue. Oh yes and just out of curiosity is Deacon’s face based on anyone
    very, very handsome and the facial expressions was done so remarkably.

    This was an amazing and deeply creative story. The story telling was insightful and complex and the characters each had a deep personality. The twists in the end were honestly very good – I’ve read many, many stories and being able to predict what will happen next is an acquired skill and a curse. But your writing is incredibly intelligent and each frame is a detailed and well done. I can truly see the culture and sophisticated society you have created without you once needing to go into detail about it just from dialogue and the backgrounds. Thank you so much for creating this piece for everyone’s enjoyment. I look forward to reading much more.

    Hell yeah! One awesome story! I definitely wasn’t expecting anything as deep and touching as this (too much yaoi doujinshis I guess). The story is so beautiful, and then art… I think I spent about equal amount of time reading and looking at the drawings.
    Thank you for making something this good and putting it online! :)

    Good job, man! I’m a little french so it was a little bit difficult to read but, wow! What a unbelievable so good story! The personality, the reactions of the characters, all of the story sound like realistic. :)
    A really big thanks to you and your imagination! and Winona for her beautiful drawings.
    (i think i’m gonna read “The young protectors” ;)  
    So please, continue to do some other really good story!

    Have you ever thought to translate any of your works into another language? Or just allow to a Scanlation Group do that? There’re a lot of fangirls “fujoshis” spanish, french, italian, chinese, korean, etc. And even the fanboys “fundashis” are growing up.

    • http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/ Alex Woolfson

      Howdy Andrea,

      If you look right under each comic page, you’ll see an “Available Transcripts” drop-down menu which has user submitted translations into other languages for that page. To read more about that, please check out the FAQ. 

      I hope that helps!

    Congratulations! This is one of the best comics I’ve read in quite a while. I love putting what has been a throw-away in SF — android soldier — front and center, and making him not only very human, but very clever. I’m sitting down right now to write a review for Epinions.com, which will go up as soon as the powers that be add it to the database.
