This webcomic is not discontinued. However, about 11 months ago I did lose all my material due to some computer trouble. Right now I just can't find the motivation to piece it back together again, but I hope to finish it one day in the future. I still have the story in my head the way I want it, for the most part. So, it's on hiatus. It might be a very long hiatus, but it will not die permanently (This edit made on: 9/7/14).
Where did all that confidence come from?? One second Hal is crying in a bathroom stall, the next he's gasping for air as he climbs hundreds of stairs, and then the next he's making snappy comebacks at the intimidating head honcho of combat expertise.
I suppose it is a little unexpected but thsan again I read everything before this in one seating so I might have a different view from your others readers that got the comic slower. That said I don't think it is totally unreasonable. He was in shock about an unexpected change to his form (something new I am sure) while dealing with bullies he has already alluded but haven't given any indication how mature he was with dealing with them. This page gets into that I think possibly.
