But it's fairly new so I don't know exactly how closely yet, so check it out! It's really awesome! www.alphaluna.net/

It's that the site is too slow for our connection. Bandwith complications and such. I was alriht with it but it was still a bit slow.

Those who want to read it, cool. It's updated every tuesday.

However, it is still very good.

Ok..

First off the website doesn't suck, I ripped the site and I don't see any bad code. If anything the artist should be very careful about leaving PSD files lying around. Anyone can take those and piece apart/steal parts of the art with ease especially if the artist uses layers like many do.

This also has nothing to do with internet explorer vs firefox (the age old debate).

I tried pinging the website and recieved 100% packet loss.
I was going to see if the domain fell short else where, ran both a whois and a trace route.
A webpage preformance site crashed when i tried to run www.alphaluna.net
Even after going to the images folder on the website it took over 15 seconds to download at 20kb file, not to view.. but to download.
This is strange.

The site is protected with basic idenity protection but the domain service is a parent company named iDotz.net which doesn't look very good. After trying to find out more information the trace route died in multiple locations including some mexican island I can't pronounce.

Which makes me think that the company the artist is going through is not legit at all. I don't scream hacker any time something internet related is confusing. But something not kosher is going on.

For all I know the artist could be self hosting with really bad upload speeds and has a crazy protection that reroutes any interested parties to random domains. I have seen wierder.

Ok enough obsessing, time to go back to work.

Nice site though.

All credit given to his skills in his artwork... I don't think Leo (the artist) knows anything about whatever it was you just said.
He does however have a secondary site with the same comic. alphaluna.keenspace.com/
I happen to know keenspace is very legit. Also, I think it's much faster.

Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go
