It has been said that when we die, we go to Heaven or Hell. After passing away, Elise Dawn finds that there are many other places to go in the afterlife. Prepare to enter the breathtaking realms of Otherworld; alive with strange and wonderful creatures, where a stray thought can become reality.
Join Elise on her magical, escapades, exploring all the worlds between life and death with her pet Robert and newfound friends, Trauma Boy and Young Jack. Thrills, chills and dangerous adventures await them. Elise will have to rely on her quick wit and these new friends to get her through the serious challenges that await her.
Death is not the end… it’s just the beginning.
Heavy, Like the Theme, Palette, look n feel, characters, & more... I'm a Regular!
I use google translate all the time to read sites/blogs in other languages, no need to say your sorry carlos. I am also really enjoying the development of the story and characters. Great comic.

My friend David has written a small text about the Voynich manuscript this will be quoted on page today:
Probably the most misterious book related to ocultism, the Voynich manuscript is an unsolved enigma. Even its name is not known, so people refere it as Voinich because of its first owner, Wilfred M. Voynich, a Polish book dealer, who acquired it in 1912.
The Voynich is written in an indecipherable text, a language, script of code unknown by all. Famous criptographers have tried by all means to translate it, but failed. Even the top American an English codebreakers who were able to decode the "Enigma" script used by the nazis in the II World War were unable to translate even a word. This lead many people to think that the book was a hoax, a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols.
The Voinich was written between 1450 and 1520. Many writters have been considered as its authors, like the famous Franciscan friar and philosopher Roger Bacon and John Dee, a mathematician and astrologer at the court of queen Elizabeth I.
But the Voynich have not only words, but lots of illustrations about herbal and astronomical theme, and many nude women or women-like beings in strange circles.
It seems that some of the astological charts really exist, and many plants have been drawn in a different form or are unrecognizable.
The most imaginative people could say that Voynich Manuscript is a guide to other wordl. Some insist in the very elaborate hoax theory, and some dont talk. Maybe it was the language of angels, or was created by a mad priest, the only truth is that Voynich has been keeping its secrets over 500 years.
Today, the Voynich manuscript is item MS 408 in the Beineke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University.

excellent story. beautiful art. great visual storytelling. everyone loves to hate emos.
My favorite movie of Kevin Smith is Mallrats...
Also I like "Chasing Amy."
What a perfect time for such an update. Just yesterday I watched Dogma for the first time. Haha, great movie, good update. Keep'em coming.
I do not speak English (Sorry).
This text I wrote with the help of Google Traslator
(I hope you understand)
Today we begin a new chapter.
It starts on page 23 and ends on page 34. In the first 22 pages we have met Elise, Ashbel, D'Emo, Alistaire and Robert (5 Characters,6 if you count "the Boss" of Seol)
In this chapter, if you count secondary characters and animals, are about 12 new characters, so important some for the history like the assassin of Elise or the very same God.
You'll find references to apocryphal texts of the Bible and mysterious books that exist in reality.
I asked my friend David Martin that help me every week to write a text clarifying these points and we will give you references to other Web pages where they find more information about each topic.
I hope you like
Carlos
As punishment, I'll be back to read the first 50 issues John Byrne's Superman.
Sorry, Is Kal-el, no Kar...
I had a bug
Matthews, is a play on words
Kar-el + Clark Kent= Kar Kent
On the paper, it says beneath the headline Kar - Kent. Is that something to do with Clark Kent? Or am I thinking too much? Wouldn't be the first time...
On Friday, the first splash page in "The Imaginary Boys".
Omega, If you want to write me to yamataionline@hotmail.com?
Explain your theory ... may be better than mine.
So the plot thickens. Through seeing how this(the newspaper article on page 22) fits in with page six creates interesting implications. . . Unless Ashbel was lying, but even then. . .
I hope to meet my childhood dog and go on a adventure in the afterlife thatd be fun.
Great Work Yamatai, amazing stuff. And I love the Kira participation
Yes! Zoom in on that newspaper, everybody.
nice detail in the last panel there...
You know I'm a big dog lover, love the new character.
Thank you Imperiused.I will make the correction.
Bryy_Miller, my dog died in May of this year. Robert is really my dog Kira.
I never cried so much making a drawing.
That last page is heart-wrenching.
Nice update.
Also, I believe its "me" instead of "be" in the first panel second thought bubble.
A "birthday gift" for all readers of Zuda, here:

Has a nice animation in the intro!
this ain't about story. this is about art. not that the story is bad, it's not, but it's not gonna' redefine any genres or anything. the art just might. it's the kind of art you don't really see coming until you're in it, then you go, "holy sh**, this is frickin' awesome! i never want to leave this world! well, you know what i'm saying.
Great addition to the ongoing lineup! Vivid art and a neat story concept.
This is great! D'emo made me laugh.
This pops so hard.
Anyone else hear the voice of the 80's Toon COBRA Commander when they read the soul collector's dialogue?
Must be me then.
Awesome. This comic has such a joie de vivre it's infectious!
this is absolutely magical.
one of the best zuda comics ever.
I am really enjoying this one so far! great job.
I think D'Emo Rocks! I bet he listens to Bright Eyes.
Five stars! Yeah, thanks.
Carlos, you got 5/5 stars from me, great comic! :)
