“It was a fantastic opportunity to try something different and take our stories to a whole new level” we talk to the team about Big Punch Studios about the conclusion of Extraversal
Four years ago we caught up with the team at Big Punch Studios to find out about a new venture they were planning which would see them create a quarterly anthology featuring a whole bunch of original characters whose worlds were interconnected. Four years, 16 issues and 3 titles later, the final volume of Extraversal is about to reach it’s epic conclusion. We gatecrash a Big Punch Studios planning session to find out how close they got to world domination!
Your quarterly anthology Extraversal has come to an end what made you choose to bring it to a conclusion? Did it always have a finite lifespan or is it just so you can concentrate on other things?
Nich Angell: It was almost too epic NOT to end it at that point! But in all seriousness, it’s only an end of the stories in that particular form. There’s so much more to come.
Jon Lock: We had two goals in launching Extraversal: one, to publish more regular content in between our larger graphic novel projects, and two, to expand the Big Punch Multiverse. While we could continue telling stories with these characters indefinitely, we were happy to end on a high with Perfect Storm, a year-long crossover featuring all our characters, that brought 16 issues’ worth of storylines to a neat conclusion.
Ali Angell: We always try to think big about what indie comics can do. Extraversal was a fantastic opportunity to try something different and take our stories to a whole new level. After four years we felt that we had established that format and that it had come to a natural conclusion, so it was the right time to think about what our next project could be.
It’s been through quite a few incarnations, starting off as BPM and evolving into Extraversal. Why did you feel it needed to go through those changes and what did you learn along the way that shaped those changes?
JON: While we were very proud of BPM or ‘Big Punch Magazine’ as a title we quickly realised that it didn’t really mean anything on its own. It wasn’t really a ‘magazine’ in the purest sense, so changing the title was an easy decision.
Lucy Lock: You should never be afraid to admit when something isn’t working and make changes. While the name BPM meant a lot to us, it was just a name… and Extraversal was a better one!
JON: Nich coined the term ‘Extraverse’ to refer to the strange realm in which so many of our stories took place, and Extraversal just became the perfect description for everything we do.
NICH: The word has grown into so much more for us now. When we come up with new ideas we ask whether they’re ‘Extraversal’ – that is to say, do they exist in the Big Punch Multiverse? It’s almost a label or brand at this point – it transcends the medium – and we’ll continue to use it!
ALI: Also, after selling BPM for a year on the convention circuit, we found that doing an elevator pitch was tricky – it’s a complex concept to sum up quickly! Extraversal was a really useful and exciting term that better summed up exactly what we were doing!
What have been your highlights from the whole Extraversal run, any lowlights/things you wished you’d done differently and thing you’d change in a George Lucas style?
NICH: Drawing for Extraversal developed me as an artist, more than any other part of my career. Jon’s insane scripts forced me to think about, concept, scene-set, express, emote and choreograph things I would never have thought of on my own. They say that straying out of your comfort zone makes you better – that has never been truer than in the case of Extraversal for me, artistically. Right now, I am an objectively better artist than I was four years ago, and by a much larger margin than four years of ‘regular’ drawing would have afforded me. I am eight years better. Double better!
ALI: I’ve always loved being creative but I’ve not had an outlet for it, so I’m incredibly grateful and proud to have had an opportunity to colour Nich’s art, and to have shaped the look and feel of the book’s design. It was a great feeling to be a part of a team where we all contribute towards the one product.
JON: I’m immensely proud of everything we accomplished with Extraversal, both in terms of storytelling and sheer workload. I mean, we managed to publish over 700 full-colour comic pages while holding down day jobs! Making comics is as much about professionalism as it is creativity, and having these strict deadlines taught us a lot about organisation. It was a logistical challenge as much as a storytelling one balancing all these plotlines and creative teams. I genuinely think we’re stronger for the experience, even if the pace was exhausting. My biggest regret is simply how time-consuming it all was. It took its toll – and it’s nice now to pause, reflect and relax before we start something new.
LUCY: I’m terribly biased, but I think my favourite story was Drinking to Remember (year 3 of 99 Swords). It was so much fun to write each little vignette, and James Stayte did some really cool things with the artwork. It’s the first thing I’ve ever written that I think could have only worked as a comic. As for George Lucas-ing something… I guess we could have made Nich draw more crowds… whether or not it made sense…
Have you got plans to give the characters from Extraversal their own series in the future, or are their stories now done? And any plans to release collections of just their stories?
LUCY: There are still so many stories to tell with the characters from Extraversal – in particular, each of the crew members from Cuckoos has a history that we just didn’t have the time to tell. I’d love to go back one day and see how each of them ended up on the Reflektor.
JON: The series in Extraversal are all just different parts of the same overarching story, with characters popping up in multiple worlds and plotlines developing in the background that have massive implications for the entire Big Punch Multiverse. We can’t separate the series because they’re all part of a greater whole!
NICH: I have ideas for stories about some of the characters from Extraversal, post Perfect Storm. Jon and I have talked about some things as well, and we have the crazy FINAL EVENT that we’ve been talking about since the beginnings of Big Punch, so yeah… there’s loads to come.
JON: We’ve already collected Extraversal Year 1 as a graphic novel and we’re going to be doing the same for the remaining years, which will hopefully introduce Extraversal to a whole new audience. We haven’t seen the last of these characters – not by a long shot. Cuckoos lives on through our First Flight podcast and we’ll definitely be revisiting these worlds, just in a different format.
So now you have finished Extraversal, I know you Big Punchers don’t like to be too quiet, so what are you working on next – Afterlife Inc., 7String, Cat and Meringue, more Sandwich Masters or something completely new?!?!
JON: Anything to avoid a quiet life! Afterlife Inc. Volume 5 will be coming out this summer and we’re working on getting Extraversal Year 2 into print. 7STRING Volume 3 will hopefully be out in 2019 as well. On top of that, our first ever Cat & Meringue plushies will be arriving soon. Perhaps our biggest project at the moment is a remastered version of our card game Sandwich Masters, which is currently with our printer. It’s a challenge, but one we’re very much looking forward to!
ALI: We’re always thinking and creating and plotting! Much of it will be continuations of our existing IPs, but there are some new projects in the pipeline too. I think that 2019 could be a really good year for us! Extraversal was our first big property as a team and it really affirmed in our minds who we are and what we’re striving for. It was what we needed at the time, and now that the regular issues have come to an end, we’re going to take all of that energy and see what more we can add to the Big Punch Multiverse, and to the UK comics scene.

Um die Gültigkeit der vergebenen Werbeguthaben aufrechtzuerhalten und den aktiven Status aufrechtzuerhalten, ist eine regelmäßige Kontoaktivität obligatorisch.
Im Vergleich zu Einzeleinzahlungsaktionen erzielen mehrstufige
Boni oft einen besseren Gesamtwert. Wenn der Mindesteinsatz zur Erfüllung der Promo-Anforderungen beispielsweise 1 € beträgt,
sollten Sie versuchen, zwischen 1 und 2 € pro Spin zu bleiben, um die meisten Spins pro
Sitzung zu erhalten. Beispielsweise zählen die meisten Slots
möglicherweise 100% der Wetten, während Tischspiele wie Blackjack oder Roulette nur 10-20% beisteuern könnten. Wenn
Sie sich nicht sicher sind, wenden Sie sich an den Support für eine Liste mit 100 % qualifizierten Titeln, um die Bonuskonvertierung ohne Verwirrung zu maximieren.
Aufgrund der nichtspielbaren gamomat spiele wird das
frank casino auch nicht mein favorit werden. In jedem anderen casino was ich kenne und welches auch gamomat spiele
anbietet kann ich diese ohne jegliche probleme auch spielen. Der Einstieg bei Frank Casino ist einfach
und sicher, und Sie können in kürzester Zeit Ihre Lieblingsspiele spielen!
Und Casinofans haben – um das Bonusgeld in Echtgeld umzuwandeln – einen Rollover
zu erfüllen. Für den Casino Willkommensbonus gelten natürlich weitere Regeln. Zusätzlich gibt es in der für neue Kunden die Möglichkeit, Freispiele zu aktivieren. Roulette, Video Poker
oder Blackjack sind nur einige Beispiele für die
Tisch- und Kartenspiele im Casino. Welpenschutz wird dieses Casino im Test aber ganz sicher nicht für sich in Anspruch nehmen. Auch
die Transparenz ist ein wichtiger Schlüssel, bei dem die Plattform sicherstellt,
dass die Spieler jedem Spin, Würfelwurf und jeder Karte vertrauen können.

Was die Plattform auszeichnet, ist ihr elegantes Design, die unglaubliche Auswahl an Spielen und die einfache Navigation, die sich auf moderne Spieler zugeschnitten anfühlt.
Auch die spieleauswahl kann sich echt sehen lassen. Die anmeldung
und auch die einzahlung mit skrill ging schnell und ohne probleme vor sich.
Dennoch ist das Casino Recht einfach und unkompliziert Gestaltet, was mir sehr gut gefällt.
Die Möglichkeit der Zusendung einer E-Mail an den Kundenservice konnten wir
bei Frank Casino online nicht finden.
So wird sichergestellt, dass auch für den Spieler mit kleinem Budget
ein Bonus drin ist. Dieser Anbieter bewirbt sich derzeit um
eine deutsche Lizenz. Stelle sicher, dass Du sie gemäß den geltenden Gesetzen Deiner Region verwendest.
Dadurch können Benutzer schnell erkennen, ob sie
mehr spielen müssen oder ob sie bereits Geld in € abheben können. Wenn
Sie weiterhin im Frank Casino spielen, haben Sie immer Zugriff auf neue Boni.
Am Ende bekommen beide Gruppen gute Angebote, aber die beste
Wahl hängt davon ab, wie Sie gerne spielen und wie viel
Geld Sie ausgeben müssen. Wenn ein Angebot beispielsweise 100
€ bei 35-fachem Durchspielen bereitstellt, müssen Benutzer 3.500 € auf qualifizierte Spiele setzen. Möglich ist diese Bandbreite an Casinospielen durch die Kooperation mit verschiedenen Softwareprovidern.

Direct bank transfers provide a secure way to move large sums
of money. Understanding the available payment methods can help you
choose the one that best suits your needs for deposits and
withdrawals. Let’s explore the key components of a bonus and what you need to know about the terms.
The cashback bonus is usually calculated on net losses
and may be awarded weekly or monthly. For example, a game with a 96% RTP
theoretically returns $96 for every $100 wagered. While it does
provide a thrill, the risk is higher than other gaming choices.
The Australian online gambling space is evolving fast, and new casinos are entering the scene every month.
We want to ensure that players can easily find what they’re looking
for and have a seamless gambling experience.
We assess how easy each casino is to use —
from navigating menus and finding games, to the overall experience across different devices.
As some of the online gambling industry’s top game studios block their games in Australia, we
also take VPN-acceptance into account, which allows you
to bypass such blocks. You’ll also find over 50 crash
games, a full sportsbook, and 17 live casino platforms,
including Evolution, Playtech, and Pragmatic Play.
However, players also get comp points for every wager, which can be traded in for bonuses, and weekly cashback of
5%–10% with no upper limit.
With its lucrative payouts and captivating gameplay, Divine Fortune
has garnered a significant following among online slot enthusiasts.
The rapid growth and size of these jackpots come from their networked
nature across multiple casinos, offering a world of jackpot opportunities.
Progressive jackpot slots offer the potential for a single spin to turn players into multi-millionaires, a dream for many.
Live blackjack offers players a nearly 50% chance of winning each hand
when playing optimally, making it a favorite among many players.
The tension in the air, the anticipation of the next card, the camaraderie of the players – it’s
an experience like no other.
