The Ruthless #5 will release Summer 2011
To see prior issues of The Ruthless, along with dozens of other tickle torture comics, go to www.the-agencies.com
This first post goes up at the end of May, and production isn't quite finished yet for this book. I don't know if it will release in June or July at this point. But this issue is a doozy. We're keeping the same art studio that has done Ruthless #2-#4 as they have done an amazing job of depicting the world of The Ruthless in a special way that only they can.
We get a lot of feedback on The Ruthless line of comics. People liked Ruthless #4 and absolutely loved Rylie. She was the breakaway star from that issue. But readers were somewhat disappointed that we didn't spend more time with her in that issue. For those that feel this way, you will love Issue #5. I received inspiration to draft a couple of rather unique bondage positions for someone that is quite flexible (Rylie is petite and a cheerleader so she fits the bill).
We've had readers ask if any of The Ruthless's captives ever go free and break the vow of silence they make while being tickle tortured under Stacia's care. This issue answers that question once and for all.
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 therapy 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 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. 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 agrees and crashes the football game at the local university to capture her test subjects. Like her other victims, these girls are powerless to thwart the will of the Ruthless. They are taken back to Ruthless HQ and run through the neural mapper to analyze their weakest ticklish spots. All three are run through a series of tests designed to see how much tickling they can endure before passing out. After the test subjects are released, Rylie (the South Korean test subject) seeks out Tracy to go public with her story. Tracy was a banker in her first career but her life was forever changed after being kidnapped by The Ruthless (see Ruthless #1). Afterwards, as The Ruthless's first publicized victim, Tracy gained overnight fame and has become a bit of a celebrity sensation. Thinking Tracy could help her warn future victims, Rylie goes on live television to share experiences about The Ruthless with Tracy.
What happens when Rylie intends to break the only rule that Stacia Walton laid out (Don't ever tell anyone what happens to you here) ? Find out as Issue #5 begins.
Cover to the Issue
I'm keeping this thread simple for now, will add to it as production continues. I wanted the cover art concept to be simple and truly symbolic of the issue itself. The studio has done a great job with the pencils, can't wait to see the entire thing in colors! I will post it here as I receive updates.
Who is this (Un?)fortunate soul on the cover?
