Ok ok, so I have been slacking a bit around here. ;) To make up for it, today I come to you with 13 pieces of featured Gallery art, plus a bunch of others! Sit back, relax, and don't look too closely at your screen...

• Halo Fan Strips

  This section is just as active as ever. Some strips have kinda slowed down, while others have boosted their activity! A few active series strips that I recommend checking out are Journey to the Covenant Homeworld (strip 14 posted) and Real Halo (strip 9 posted), and The Defense of Eridanus II (strip 3 posted). There have been a couple new series strips that have just started and show good potential!

• The Midnight Flare Chronicles by VampyricTurialim [current strips in series: 1] The first strip, and already a Pokemon reference. w00t!
• 
  
• Samus vs. Chief! by Sparkie [current strips in series: 2] A hilarious look at the imaginary match up!

  While you're at it, check out these great individual strips!
  

• "Wrong Sniper" by VampyricTurialim
• 
  
• "Banshee Boarding Gone Wrong by DemonSpawn77 (previously canadian_sniper_god)

  
  Well that's all for this week. Hopefully next week's update will be smaller, cuz I need some sleep! =P
