Hi everyone!
Just a heads up to let you know that Shof and I have decided to release all the remaining episodes of Under a Jovian Sun on Feb 12th.
After this, the series is going on hiatus. For the time being, it's going to end on a cliffhanger. Right now, we don't have the funds required to complete the book. Rest assured though, that we will complete Under a Jovian Sun at some point.
Thank you so much for reading our book!

2019 is Going to Rock - Here’s Why
Greetings, People of Earth!
First, Shof and I would just like to say thank you. Thanks to everyone who’s waited patiently while we hammered away at the second half of the first half (yikes!) of Under a Jovian Sun. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading the pages we post on Tumblr and on Tapas, who’s commented, shared and offered precious words of encouragement.
We set out to expand the Jonahverse in an unexpected way, and thanks to some awesome collaborators like Claudio Grassi, Francisco Muñoz and Yinfaowei, we think we’ve done just that. It’s been a supremely fun project for us, but also draining (financially and mentally). Most importantly though, you guys seem to really dig the adventures of Nasco, Bahira, Bayo and the gang.
There are just a few pages left to publish before we hit what we believe is the halfway mark of the book (about 50 pages). At that point, we’re going to pause for a little while and switch our focus. We’ve been working on Under a Jovian Sun for a couple of years now, and we’d like to get back to working on Book 2 of Outcasts of Jupiter.
Book 2 is going to be much more ambitious and much bigger than Book 1 was. For a good deal of the preproduction, we’re going to be working in public. This means you’ll be hearing from us a lot more often. We’ll be posting lore dumps, sketches, videos and much more. We’re also revamping our website, and launching a brand new shop with some really cool items we hope you’ll love. (www.cokercoop.com - sign up for the newsletter!)
We’ve got a ton more news to share, and if I’m honest, we can’t wait. This year’s been good, but the next one’s gonna be incredible. I feel it in my bones.
Till the next update!

We said we'd be back in late 2017... and we were wrong. For that, we apologize. We're still working hard on new pages, and will have something to share soon. In the meantime, I wanted to let everyone know that we're super proud to have the first few pages of Under a Jovian Sun featured in a physical book:
The Kugali Anthology. Kickstarter Linky -> http://kck.st/2FawAfr
Organized by friend of the CoOp, Ziki Nelson, Kugali is an ambitious 200-page anthology series featuring bombastic work by a group of diverse (and handsome) creators from across Africa, South America, North America and Europe.
From Mumu Juju to Kayin & Abeni, Iku, Razon Man and tons more, we really do think those with a discerning eye for comics will like what they see.
We hope you'll back Kugali, and of course, there's more Under a Jovian Sun coming soon. Here's a sneak peek!

Hey I would like to invite you to read my webcomic:

As a birthday present a few years ago Shof sent me this cool mock cover for a comic book story I came up with, called "The Adventures of Jupiter Jonah." It was about a time travelling Nigerian exploring different eras of the Jovian Empire (past, present and future). It's one my favorite drawings of his.
We ended up doing a bunch of sketches but never quite got started, the project ended up morphing into "Outcasts if Jupiter." One day, I hope we get to revisit Jonah.

I hope you do! It looks awesome!
Thanks Joanne, we'll definitely work towards it :D

This looks gorgerous!!
Under a Jovian Sun returns on Tuesday, Apr 18th at 8am PST! The new page concludes Part 1 of the Bread Duty storyline, but we'll be launching right into Part 2 on Apr 25th, and plan to keep publishing a page a week till _at least_ November 2017. In time we'll also be opening a shop so that folks can buy Outcasts of Jupiter Merchandise, and possibly some Under a Jovian Sun items as well
We're extremely excited to show you what Shof, Harrison (our colorist), Francisco (our brand new penciler & inker) and I have been working on over the course of the past year. We've been away for a while, but we certainly hope you'll join us once again!

Under a Jovian Sun will finally get new pages in 2017. It feels fantastic to finally say that.
We started posting in October of 2015. The goal was to post a new page every couple of weeks and run through the entire story. However, production issues meant that this simply wasn’t possible. Our talented artist and good friend, Claudio Grassi had to bow out for personal reasons. It was tough, because Claudio brought so much passion and love to the project, unfortunately, his departure couldn’t be helped.
Shof and I are very protective of who we share the Jonahverse with, so we took our time when it came to finding someone new to work with. We spent months looking at applications from nearly 400 talented artists, and In the end I think we found the right partner in Francisco Muñoz. Francisco’s style is very different from Claudio’s, but it’s equally as engaging and he comes to the project as a fan first. We’re lucky to have him on board. While pencil/inking duties have changed hands, the irrepressible Harrison Tombra remains on colors, bringing that vibrant signature look of his to our pages.
Over the course of the past few months, we’ve been working quietly with Harrison and Francisco in an effort to build up a buffer of pages that will allow us to post new Jovian Sun pages on a regular schedule, one dictated by the demands of the story. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re mighty close, and we wanted to share an early look at what’s to come over the course of the year. Here are some work-in-progress pages of what’s to come from Under a Jovian Sun. As always, you can follow our progress on Twitter and on Tapastic.

Glad to see you guys back!
Thanks guys, it really does mean a lot. To be clear, it'll be a little while before we start posting again, but we wanted folks to know the project hasn't been abandoned. - Shobo
I'm SO HAPPY to hear it's coming back! This was one of the only comics that hit all of my interests (futuristic fantasy worlds, street kids, humans mixed with not-humans, etc) the new art style looks nice too! Looking forward to the new pages!!
Awesome, welcome back!
I'm glad to see this story continue I'm looking forward to see where this project is going
Love Under a Jovian Sun! You have an awesome style and great utilization of light and shadow. Keep at it!!
Thanks Concanema! We've been on a bit of a hiatus for almost a year, but are getting ready to come back with a vengeance :)
Much appreciated, Concanema! Hope you'll stick with us. Definitely some fun news on the horizon.
Wonderful work!
