Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
One year ago, on April 16th 2024, the first page of Peregrine Lake went online. One year since we first met Bev as she drove through a snow storm and said the exact thing most of us have said in that scenario.
It took so long for Peregrine Lake to get off the ground. I first announced it back in December of 2019, and originally I was going to draw it. And then the world fell apart, and I found myself with zero ability to draw it anymore. I kept kicking the idea around, wanting to move it forward when in 2023 I jokingly suggested to my friend Ethan that they could draw the comic for me.
And they said yes, they'd love to, and I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
We then spent almost a year regularly meeting, talking about my plans for the plots, the world, the characters, and all the things that would have otherwise just lived in my head. I started scripting comics, and Ethan got to work on concept art. And for most of 2023 we planned and got ready, and we hit the ground running in 2024.
And now we're here. Honestly, I love everything we've put out over the last year. Ethan's art is incredible, and tells the story in a way that I'm not sure mine would have. I love this comic, I love that you all are reading it, and I'm excited to show you what's coming next.
Because we've only just scratched the surface on how weird this is going to get.
On April 26th I'm going to be at Concinnity in Milwaukee, WI! Stop on by and say hi if you're in town!

Was waiting for a “but I’m really so and so from some anime” as there are some costumes out there that at a distance look pretty nazi, but then I found Trae’s article and thought “Yikes”
There are plenty who will go “Oh, it’s from X” with it, but no. It’s 2018, if you’re dressing as a Nazi, you know what you’re doing. My “Favorite” was the middle aged dude wearing a full uniform, with a 5′ flag, and a 3 year old in a Captain America outfit. The swastika was larger than the child. Because I’m sure that’s purely about the Avengers, right?
There’s an article?
yep

Oh wow, sweet. By Trae’s standards (historical atrocities) I get to kick out pro-socialist and pro-communist edgelords wearing Communists stars, Hammer and Sickles, and Che shirts, from all the Florida conventions. Bonus!
What about someone cosplaying Man in the High Tower? As a Jew MHT and Red Skull cosplay don’t bother me, real Nazis do. Is there something I’m missing with MHT & Red Skull being refused at some cons?
Yes, many conventions have outright banned anything Red Skull, Hydra, 40k Commissars, Nazi Werewolves, etc
No Hydra?
No Hydra? According to Agents of SHIELD series Hydra pre-dates Nazis by 500 years at least.
What’re being banned are Nazi uniforms.
If someone is dressing up as a Hydra member from 500 years ago, they wouldn’t be wearing anything close to a Nazi uniform.
