Alternotron is a special bonus issue by fan fave artist Jed Soriano. It is available in digital form as part of our comic archive archive as well as a whole video playlist
The plot
Sal grows tired of Vibes’ showboating. However, she is not prepared to be kidnapped by Alternotron, a robot that offers her an alternate reality where she can be in control. What she doesn’t realise is that by taking this deal she is affecting all reality and putting everyone in danger.
Behind the scenes
Originally written as a bonus issue to celebrate going to the Edinburgh Fringe festival, Alternotron marked Jed Soriano’s first Reynard City story (he would later follow it up with Subconscious Pt 2, another fan fave).

Does this replace issue 6?
No issue 6 is still on course to be out this year, with stories by Capitaine Renard, Emily Bandicoot and BlueIke. We will also be appearing at OLL 2023 in April and Norcon 2023 in September, both at the Royal Norfolk Showground just outside Norwich.
As a quick reminder all five current Reynard City Chronicles issues are available via Ko-Fi, Bookbugs and Dragontales, Canary Comics and Beccles Books.
Why should I buy Alternotron?
Simply put- each time you buy Alternotron a cut goes to Jed Soriano. Jed is an incredibly professional artist who worked hard on this issue, so to be honest I think showing your support to him (and indeed the other awesome artists on this site) is massive.
