James, I need more!!! I've been following this series since 2003. I have loved Xombie since I was a kid. I. 27 years old now and not a day goes by where I don't keep checking for more. Please keep this up!

[@pharaohamaya]

Oh my god I just realized this was the thing I watched as a kid! Dirge looks amazing! You can really tell how far you've come as an artist and animator James. This is awesome hun, you and everyone behind this series are amazing!

Thanks so much! And welcome back! Hope you love the next installment.

[@indigowendigo8165]

Reliving nostalgia is nice, huh? XD Never got into much animation back then for some reason but I played a lot of old games, only a few new ones were still good like Phoenotopia... Those old flash days were fun though, I miss them at times. :p Newgrounds out of them all at least doesn't feel the same anymore for some reason though...

[@pharaohamaya]

Amen to that! I barely remember the games I played back then. I know that the turtle launcher one was one, but that's about it.

[@petergant1379]

Hey, I LOVED the fight at the carnival in Xombie's original outing. Though it may have had it's rough corners, like Zoe's evolving appearance, some things, like Zombie Animals, caught my attention, Big Time! Strangely enough, although I was watching Cerberus and Chimera, what REALLY caught my attention, was seeing Zombie Animals,OTHER than these two, I just accepted it, as a fact in this world, another thing to keep an eye out for! And, in the ORIGINAL series, first sighting, EVER, of Zombie Clowns in popular culture, way before Zombieland, I believe!
