Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone! My vacation was great!
We drove down to Izu Peninsula, about a 2-hour drive from my place. Nothing recharges my batteries better than swimming in the ocean on a hot day and lying down on the beach under a parasol :D The drive around the peninsula was amazing, too. Driving through and around mountains made me pretend that I was Initial-D’ing down the mountainous roads of Japan in my little rented Toyota Corolla. Of course, with a baby in the car, I was pretending at a steady 30km/h ;) Maybe not as exciting as Initial D, but it was a blast :D Getting into a car and seeing the side-streets, where buses and trains can’t get to, also reminded me how much I love Japan. The sights and sounds that you experience when you’re away from tour groups and schedules are priceless and well worth the drive :D It’s gonna be tough to leave Japan, let me tell ya!
Anyways, thanks for your patience! I’m super glad to hear that many of you have missed the updates! I just want to let everyone know that The Pocalypse no longer has a set schedule, but more of a “target time”. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, Eastern Standard Time, are what I aim for, but I may not make it sometimes. Sometimes it could be Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, sometimes Monday, Thursday, Sunday, but I definitely want to keep 3 updates a week going. Feel free to follow The Pocalypse to stay updated! :D

Give Scrufflebeck a good home by buying a Scrufflebeck keychain! They’re now available for CDN$10 in the store :D Thanks for your support!
Speaking of keychains, I doodled these little guys up and I’ll be making them into bead keychains soon! They’re all 16×16 and will be roughly the same size as the Scrufflebeck keychain. Let me know what you think! :D
1st! VERY SHOCKED!!!
OMG! Bernie has done it… I think someone said it would happen… Suspense is going to kill me
aw man I loaded so slowly and you beat me D:
o shit blood joe doesnt bleed right this is bad ow and i love the zombie one
NO! JOE!!!
wow, great ending hehe, just get this feeling of “the f*”. It’s fascinating how much tension can be in this isometric storry :P
nooooo!!! noooo……..too much suspense…..will I die from the suspense????? Why must you make so many cliffhangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap! EPIC! Write On!
Oh my!
And heres a fun thing ;D, Cladunx2 comes out at the end of august on the PSN, which is a fun retro-style game. So getting to my point ;D you get customization with the custom characters, and you could probrably make bernie, jess and joe characters :D
Just thought i’d throw it out for creator joe, and anybody else ;3
ryan’s right, there is blood, joe (both inner and outer) may have gotten seriously injured, maybe mortally. Author Joe, i both despise and admire you, for the GODDAMN cliffhanger, but as a writer, that’s just perfect story plot. HEY OTHER VIEWERS, we are at the climax of the chapter, hopefully A.J. will fill in on joe’s fate. thumbs up by me! XD
The way you just jump cut from the gunshot to the ending tile was intense. I have to admit that i’m disappointed in IJ for going into murder mode so quickly.
It’s interesting how just having a body changes a persons mindset. OJ became seemed to become much more focused and creative when cut off from the vices of the real world. While IJ seemed to lose the logical mindset he had in the Dream World. Both sides of Joe seem much better when disconnected from a body.
Finally. Joe, this is what you deserve.
@ryan and decifer you guys are right i have a idea of whats going on the power strugle between ij and oj are causeing him to lose his powers ofcorse we know aj would not let oj die just yet
Guess what’s going into my minecraft world :D
@red ja yeah, joe maybe a selfish jerk, but he’s the first main character, i’m just saying unless some mystic force comes in and intervene, joe is going to be incapacitated, last time he got shot (by jess from the first chapter), and it took him four days to recover. the story will either: continue to follow Joe such as for the first couple chapters and skip when he awakes; or follow the other characters which will have the days run slowly and take their time.
plus Bernie’s gun is MUCH more advanced
I didn’t expect that…
keep doing this excellent work Joe.
@Decifer
it didnt take him 4 days it was only 2 days for joe to recover
@decifer last time his powers protected him dis time however the bullet went throuh him and as you stated bernies gun is much more advanced dis time ojs going to be injuerd
it was a red paintball :P
@someguy your right it was 2 day i thought it was 4
These are so cute!!! The keychains I mean,
can I put them in my hacked game of earthbound? Than I can play as them :D
Oh My god! I hope he will be okay!!!
HOLY MOTHER OF BULLET THROUGH JOE!!! God damn. that is epic. of course joe’s gonna live….but which one?…imma say good joe. evil joe was the one that was out at the moment of impact so…he’s dead :o
I like the keychain ideas I might get the arbiter one
HOLY SHIT!!! damn that was supenseful you could literally cut the suspense with a butter knife
Oh my god, did anybody else notice that it changed back to being Average Joe(lol my nickname for him)right at the moment e got shot!?!? Dammit, he shot the joe i love…this is tearing at my heart Author Joe D:
FUCK FUCK FUCK WE ARE SO FUCKED!!!OJ GOT SHOT!(people say that as a meme sometimes)Anyways I hate the new USA schedule -_-
I would buy one of them but we’re poor :(
Joe Pendon,The Pocalypse Defense has been hacked.Its making the players invincible.
wow he’s not gonna die…i think…but great idea for the other keychains…woot loot
What the heck! Bernie shot him that much I know but…there was blood! Holy crap Joe is becoming more human since he was in struggle with the other half of him, so basically when those two fight there is a temporary part where he is not so super anymore. But Court I think Bernie shot out of reaction you know he wasn’t sure who was who after all, because other Joe was going to kill him and Bernie himself was torn.
want the keychains want the keychains want the keychains want the keychains want the keychains … the hole collection
NOW!!!!!!! :)))))))
JOEEEEEE
JOEEEEEE NO JOEEEEEE
shiiiiiit! :'(
CLIFFHANGERRRRR
*throws laptop out of the window*
yes shoot him. shoot him some more. oops wrong joe. :)
can you make a minecraft skin for the elder
Thank you, Bernie.
Great scene Joe. I’m glad your back cause another day without the comic would drive me insane. Poor Joe(comic). He got shot!
Finally, after all the bullets pumped into him through the comic i was waiting for one to, well not kill but do some damage. Next episode please!!!!! SUSPENSE!!!!
:O
@ rad ja & Someguy
ok ok you two are right, let’s just see what author joe has in store next scene. Hopefully he’ll continue this scene instead of jumping to someone else. Thumbs up by me! XD
oh ya! i forgot to mention that now both siblings have shot joe! XD
one more thing, one more thing! check joe’s eyes right before he got shot, who got hurt? >:D
Please do not translate from Italian to English the following phrase.
CAZZO ERA ORA!
I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it!
Bernie was going to shoot Joe and/or Lame Joe!
I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it!
I like the zombie one the most. :D And also….. OH CRAP POWERFIST CAN BLEED!!!

From now on, I’m gunna call original Joe Joe number 1, Auther Joe Joe number 2 and inner Joe Joe number 3.
I think Bernie shot the wrong Joe… also, welcome back Joe 2!
