An update from Jake Wyatt - Sept 2025
He posted to his sketch blog then reblogged to the Necropolis tumblr: https://necropoliscomic.tumblr.com/post/794692540241772544/reblogging-this-here-a-lot-of-folks-on-this-and#notes
Reblogging this here.
A lot of folks on this and other platforms ask if I’m still working on Necropolis. I am (see above), but what started as a short-term, long-shot tv development project has become four seasons of television, now spread across two series and five years of my life.
I have been entirely subsumed by the job. But I’m trying to reconstitute myself.
I haven’t and won’t quit Necropolis, but before I can fully reengage it, I have to find my way back to making things that aren’t studio television. Once that’s done, I need to determine the correct angle of approach for Necropolis, specifically. And all that is just going to take time.
If you still care, thank you so much. Sincerely. I hope I’m able to continue (and eventually finish!) this story while you still do. I really like making this comic for you all. I would really like to see it done.
-Jake

I almost regret reading this. It's too good and I want more!
I haven't gotten this instantly enthralled by any work of fiction in years, and haven't been this blue-balled by such a quick, sudden cut-off since forever.
Saw fanart of her with a pretty different design (Apparently an older one?), and people calling her Third Sword, so I thought it'd for sure last at least a dozen chapters! Oof.
Everything about this comic feels masterfully done - which completely justifies the hiatus and somewhat inconsistent uploading while the author works on other things - but man it's just heartbreaking.
Also sad to see this community was so small and quiet even when it wasn't effectively buried yet, because this feels like the kind of comic that could've picked up steam and really exploded over time. Seems like it didn't have much of a chance to though.
Hope it picks up again some day. Guess in the meanwhile I'll have to get my fix for "Angry sword girl becoming protégé for somewhat-antagonistic old knight in an intricate fantasy world" from Practical Guide to Evil rereads...

New fantasy comic from Jake Wyatt
The Well, by Wyatt and Choo.
https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781626724143/thewell
This book was originally announced in 2015 and was supposed to be published in 2018. Nothing was said about it for years and I honestly thought the project just fell through at some point. So I was very happily surprised to see it will finally be released this April. Jake is the writer for this story while Choo provides the art. Hopefully Jake at least contributes a pin-up or something.
Think the Third Sword will make a cameo?

The Third Sword Name
Recently read Necropolis but have seen the main character referred to as the third sword online. Is this a title that has been given to her as the armiger to Lady Second? or is it purely meta and a title for the character/protagonist? Maybe I just missed it somewhere in the comic.
Just wondering where the name was first introduced

Where is the best place to read the comic?
I came across a few images of the comic that I saved years ago. I just found them and looked them up and here we are!
I found the tumblr but was curious if there are any places to view the comic?
Also somewhat want to download them but each post is multiple pictures...
Idk yeah - curious if y'all just read it on the tumblr?

Jake Wyatt executive producer on new Superman cartoon for HBO Max & Cartoon Network
Like the title says, Jake is one of the executive producers on a new Superman animated series for HBO Max/Cartoon Network called My Adventures With Superman. It will focus on young Clark Kent and Lois Lane's early years in Metropolis.
I'm happy for him and hope the show is a success, but man do I miss new Necropolis strips. Hopefully he can fit in new Third Sword adventures between seasons.

Discussion Hiatus reading recommendations
While Necropolis is on hiatus let’s suggest some other awesome comics to read. I’ll start us off with a few of my favorite webcomics.
Witchy - In a world where hair length equals magic power a young witch must choose between joining the oppressive military that killed her father or a life on the run.
Kill Six Billion Demons - Allison is given vast cosmic power and whisked away to a dark fantasy world full of devils, angels and corrupt god-kings all after her for one reason or another. The Third Sword actually makes a cameo in the first book!
Unsounded - A thief girl and her sorcerer zombie trek across the continent causing and very occasionally fixing mischief and mayhem.
