After taking a little longer production time than normal, Ruthless #7 is soon to release and we're pretty excited. We like this comic because no matter how much weird shit we put into it, it never seems to be too over the top for our fans. We certainly enjoy that kind of freedom, and will no doubt test those boundaries as the series matures.

The Story Thus Far...

Issue one starts out on the docks of Bay City, a day like any other. Stacia Walton, a local Channel Four reporter, has been on the trial of a villain named "The Ruthless" for some time. No one knows what it is, where it comes from, or what it wants. It simply kidnaps rich and powerful women, and releases them back to their homes after a couple of weeks. No one knows what goes on except for its victims. But Stacia had to know. Eventually, she got too close. Because on that fateful day, she is taken back to the Ruthless's secret lair. There she is tickle tortured for days. Sometimes it asks questions, sometimes it doesn't. It fulfills most of the fantasies she's always harbored deep within her psyche. She doesn't know how it knows her so well, but it torments her in ways she's always craved, beyond anything she could ever hope to endure. Endless laughter. Desperate laughter. For days.

After a time, Stacia is released. But the trauma never really ends and she seeks the help of one Doctor Collins, a celebrity psychologist. The theapy sessions last several months. Doctor Collins makes some progress, but there is something hindering her way. She knows there is something special about Stacia, and something very special about this thing called The Ruthless. Doctor Collins begins her own obsession about The Ruthless. She aims to draw it out and find out what it is. Unfortunately for the good doctor, The Ruthless has been wanting to meet her for a very long time. It has sat in the shadows, hungering, craving, lusting. But no more will it sit idle. It pounces on Doctor Collins, and takes her back to its lair.

Doctor Collins is introduced to brand new means of torture as The Ruthless seems to know all of her intimately sensitive spots. It seems to delight in torturing this intelligent, well groomed and professional woman. To her horror, Doctor Collins discovers that The Ruthless has also kidnapped Stacia and is simultaneously torturing the both of them. Stacia is being tormented on a machine that teases her ceaselessly, turning her on while not allowing her an orgasm. She is gagged, and when the gag is removed, Stacia begs for release. In exchange for the orgasm, Doctor Collins must suffer unbearably. Stacia agrees, sealing Doctor Collins' fate. Doctor Collins is pushed past her limits, and immediately breaks character. She has a hunch that Stacia is really The Ruthless, but wanted Stacia to admit it on her own. However, the tickle torture is too much for the good Doctor to take, and she begs for it to stop, calling Stacia out. Stacia, still on the machine, comes clean with her shrink and admits she's been The Ruthless all along. As she admits this, the machine instantly vanishes, and The Ruthless, which had just been an empty suit of armor made to look like it was full, now covers Stacia. The end of issue #2 shows Stacia in her costume as The Ruthless!

After Stacia continues to tickle torture Doctor Collins for awhile, just for fun, the two get to know each other a bit more. Stacia finds out that Doctor Collins has a vicious streak of cruelty that runs through her. The Doctor is all too eager to help Stacia in her mission to do...whatever she's trying to do. Stacia's motivations are not clear to anyone except herself. All Doctor Collins knows is that Stacia is kidnapping very powerful women from Bay City, tickle torturing them into madness, and she wants on board.

The two discuss a pet project that Stacia has dreamt about for years. It's called a neural mapper, and she has three perfect candidates to help her build it: a medical doctor, and two engineering students from the nearby university. After some persuasion and a thwarted escape attempt, the team of three agree to build Stacia's machine. Before they are released to go home, the neural mapper is used on each of the three builders to ensure its accuracy. Satisifed with the results, Stacia and Doctor Collins allow the team to return to their homes. One thing remains: the three builders were all caucausian. To truly test the neural mapper's capabilities, different test subjects must be gathered to ensure all the data is accurate. Doctor Collins shares the files of three possible test subjects from the local college campus that would be perfect for the machine.

Stacia, in her Ruthless battle armor, sets out to find these three test subjects on the local university campus. She tracks all three down on game day and abducts them in broad daylight. Stacia is eager to test the neural mapper on these three because they're all strong willed young women. If the neural mapper does its job, it means Stacia can break anyone in a matter of minutes with her special brand of tickle torture. Keri is tested first, and the neural mapper shows her 'red zones' (spots where the ticklee goes instantly berserk) are under her arms and the sides of her breasts. Marlina is tested next. Although Marlina isn't especially ticklish, the neural mapper did pick up two spots: her genitals and between her toes. Rylie is tested last and her entire body is a red zone. Each girl is placed into a machine that will test her endurance and ability to withstand tickle torture in the worst spots. Stacia is pleased with the results of all three test subjects. After the tests are completed, Doctor Collins revisits Marlina in her chair and decides to have a little exploratory fun with the girl that supposedly wasn't ticklish. Soon, all three girls are released.

Months pass. Rylie suddenly decides to step forward and tell the world all about The Ruthless. She is to appear on live television with another victim of The Ruthless, a blonde banker named Tracy who gained sudden notoriety after the media blitz surrounding her abduction. Both girls stand to make a fortune, and are looking to cash in on their experiences. Little do they know The Ruthless is always watching.

Minutes before the live television event was to being airing, the Ruthless crashed the filming of the special. Stacia decided to make an example of what happens when people double cross The Ruthless! Stacia binds Tracy to a chair, forcing her to watch Rylie tortured on live television. Stacia binds Rylie with rope, ensuring any struggling will result in more torment for her victim. For many minutes this continues, with Rylie losing more clothing as the filming goes on. The entire nation watches helplessly, in horror, as the villain is now known coast to coast as the world's most wanted terrorist. At home, Doctor Collins watches the events unfold from her bedroom, disappointed that Stacia took such delicate torment to a world stage. Now the entire world knows of the Ruthless, her existance can no longer be disputed. Her techniques are also now boradcast to the entire world, to live forever in digital format. But Doctor Collins believes Stacia should be disciplined for her short sighted handling of Rylie. After Rylie's defeated and tickled body slumps to the ground, the Ruthless now turns an eye to Tracy.

The Ruthless is out to prove a point to Tracy: exploitation is the only unifying trait among sentient beings in the universe. It is this bleak, fatalistic viewpoint that will mark the next few issues of the issues as things will get increasingly dark. The Ruthless takes Tracy to her nemesis in the entertainment world, a former kids' channel princess and current pop star sensation named Ariel. Ariel is kidnapped and taken back to Ruthless HQ. There she is tormented needlessly by The Ruthless and Doctor Collins in order to prove Stacia's point to Tracy. Tracy is forced to watch Ariel's torture. Tracy's memory of her own suffering at the hands of the Ruthless, juxtaposed with the immense satisfaction she receives that watching her enemy get justice, hits Tracy at once and she is unable to deal with the duality of the situation. Her mind splits and descends briefly into poetic expression. As this happens, Stacia and Doctor Collins revels in Ariel's extremely sensitive skin. Ariel starts screaming at the torture and eventually calls out to her mother. This shocks Stacia, who hears the scream and is immediately reminded of her own daughter, who isn't even born yet. This association of Ariel with her own daughter (who is yet to be born) and her sensing of Doctor Collins desire to betray her, gives The Ruthless an idea for Ariel to prove herself. Ariel and Tracy have until the end of the day to break Doctor Collins by any means necessary, or else their own freedom from tortured laughter is in peril.

Of course :D Lovely Memories to Issue 2 (with the Best Tickle Rating ;) )

I'm so lucky, that "The Ruthless" goes on. Such a great and torturous Tickle Comic. One of my Favorites!!! :D:D

Can't wait *happyhappyhappy*

thanking you in anticipation :bouncybou

Tickle Ratings! It's been awhile since we issued those. Hope they helped for those that used them over the years. We got some negative feedback on them when we first implemented them and hadn't too much about them over the years. They were mostly an internal check and balances so I would put in enough action in the scripts. Now that I've been doing this for awhile, I don't really have that fear much anymore, and hopefully our readers trust me enough to keep the action worth the price of admission. Regardless, glad you hear you liked that feature.

And poor Doctor Collins. Everyone seems to want in on her action.

Cool. Can I expect bellybutton goodness from this one too?

Not really. There is one panel in the issue, so it's certainly not a focus in this one by any measure.

The Girls who are mostly the Ticklers are a Favorite Victim for a Revenge :)
...is it mean, if I say: Can't wait to see Stacia suffer... and will Aria and Tray brake her... standing under pressure :D:D

And of course I like the Rating. This was a great Idea, and helped me to buy my first comic.

July is going to end... you know the date of release?:typerhappy:
hawww... don't listen up to me... I'm babbling^^

Yes it is interesting to note that Stacia herself hasn't been tickled much in the comics. Although the entire issue #1 featured her, we later found out it was just a manifestation of her deep seated desire to be dominated mercilessly. So I don't know if that "counts" since it didn't come from an uncontrollable force...and the character certainly doesn't think it counted, either. When will she ever get her way? Hmmm...

As for a release date, the book is mostly ready to go, we're just waiting on the pinup to filter in. There may be a couple minor dialogue edits, but the artwork is done. So I would bet it would be released within the next week.

Have you been good boys and girls? If not, we'll release it sooner :)
 
I was disappointed by the last issue because all the nudity was strategically hidden. Will there be nude tickling in this issue?

It'd be great if there was a breakdown of what issues has nude tickling and which ones didn't.

None of our issues to date have featured explicit nudity in the artwork, only implied nudity. So this use of strategic placement will be a common theme in some of the more intense scenes, going back in time and also for future releases. But many, many of our issues over the years have featured implied nudity and/or tickling of breasts/genitals:

The Agencies #7
The Agencies #9
The Agencies #11
The Agencies #12
The Agencies #13
The Agencies #14
The Agencies #15
The Agencies #16

The Agencies: Frontiers #3

The Ruthless #1
The Ruthless #2
The Ruthless #3
The Ruthless #4
The Ruthless #5
The Ruthless #6 [ok I'm seeing a pattern...that's why people like this line so much!]

Here is a storyboard, loose pencil, and colorized panel in the issue. Without getting to spoiler-tastic, it would seem our newly introduced Ariel has a natural flair for cruelty. And what is this goddess power she speaks of?

Okay, maybe I should replace "nudity" with "nipples" for this discussion? I consider that nudity. I guess I just really like breasts.

In Ruthless #3 and #5, for example, you see plenty of bare breasts (and the lower bits are pretty barely covered, too). In #6 however, you don't really see anything at all.

Ahh yes! That's a great point.

We play the long game in our books and I will concede it's kind of dangerous because it can rub people the wrong way. What I mean by the long game is that sometimes we set up characters for awhile, build them up over time, to knock them down later.

In The Ruthless #6 Ariel is tortured but she still has clothes on, further enhancing her reputation as a pop princess, ex kids channel star. It's one thing to just say that's what she is, and that's easy enough to do in a comic medium, right? Poof, she's a fairy, now she's magically a maid, now she's a cheerleader! Why not, right? Well I like to do world building and play the long game...so instead of just saying she's something, I want to install that imagery in the minds of the readers. She really is visually this sweet young thing that hasn't been totally tainted by Stacia yet. And that's harder to do. It's hard to establish a personality when people want to see relentless torture all the time. So there's a balance there.

We did a similar thing with Tiffany over at The Agencies, and also Agent Deadline. There was a scene for Agent Deadline to start a torrid affair with Yin after Yin professed her love. But it really isn't in Agent Deadline's character right now to succumb to those desires because she's an all-American, classic cheerleader who happens to be heterosexual. Characters change, and it would be fun to explore that relationship further. But out of character right now.

I'm rambling. But in my rambling, hopefully a thing or two maybe makes a little more sense? Even though these are books marketed towards adults, doesn't mean they can't also have adult themes and adult conversations among the sexiness. It's a very difficult thing to do well, and be commercially viable.

But to your point, we can't have too many issues without nudity of any kind, can we? That won't do at all :)
 
We're running out of July... any chance of releasing it today? :bounce:

You are correct, sir.

Only a few days left in this beautiful month. I will aim for tomorrow, but it depends on my personal schedule as we have several sets of out of town visitors in our home. If I get some peace and quiet, I will create the PDF and away we go! If not, it will have to wait until Monday.

Actually, I think you missed my point completely.

My point is that, as a customer, I like to know what I'm buying, so I can buy what I want (tickling + naked breasts).
You can put it in there, you can leave it out, that's your call, you have plenty of customers who want different things. I don't get pissy when Coke issues a flavor I don't like, I just don't buy it. I know before I buy "hmm, Coke with Lime, probably going to taste like Coke with lime."
So, I just want to know which of your products have the thing that I want, so I can buy them. Just like how you put a measurement of how much tickling is in each comic on the ordering page, I'd probably buy a lot more of your comics (ruthless, agencies, etc.) if I knew how much nudity was in them. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

No, you're not the only one. I've bought plenty of titles that I really wish I hadn't because they wound up being terrible (such as Tats McCree) and wouldn't have wasted money on if I'd known more about them.

Fair enough. For the last few releases we give highlights on certain aspects of each book as may pertain to various interests (as we've done in the first post) to give readers an idea of what's inside without spoiling too much.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed so much!

Sales have been strong for this issue, even for something in The Ruthless, which has always enjoyed quite a bit of support from readers. Thank you to those that have purchased the book so far! We are hoping to keep the story going strong and enter production in the next week or two, depending on how things go.

You mentioned on our dA account that the ending to 'The Ruthless #7' gave you the creeps. That's a great sign :) Look on our dA site (http://agency-publishing.deviantart.com/) for a brand new poll somewhat related very closely to this issue.
 
Once again, The Ruthless provides us with something unique. I doubt any of us can say we've seen the tickling instrument used in this issue anywhere else! Oblesklk continues to further the story of Stacia in this issue, in which our anti-heroine begins picking up a coterie of followers (or minions, depending on your outlook). The artwork is, as usual, dazzling. All in all, another wonderful addition to this growing line!

I suppose there was a little twist in there, but it's all good, right, as long as someone's laughing? Glad you like Ariel too, we think she's going to grow on people.
