Webcomics

Clevinger's webcomic is 8-Bit Theater, hosted on his site Nuklear Power. The comic tells the story of four would-be fantasy heroes who set out to save the world from the embodiment of Chaos, but trip over their own stupidity (and for some, innate evil nature) in the process. The comic is done using 8-bit quality graphic sprites taken primarily from the Final Fantasy game or created by either Clevinger himself, or by Kevin Sigmund.

On Wednesday September 21st, 2005, Clevinger attempted a hostile takover of Ctrl+Alt+Del, but this was later revealed to be yet another of his amusing fake news posts, albeit on a different site and scale than usual. The result was a brief outpouring of 'assistance' for Tim Buckley, the author of the 'seized' webcomic. This aid kept coming even as the news posts became more and more outrageous, until it became clear it was a hoax. Though Tim Buckley officially called it off, no cease fire has to date come from Brian.

Other information

Clevinger's primary claim to fame is 8-Bit Theater. He also wrote a book, Nuklear Age, and is currently writing its sequel. 8-Bit Theater reportedly takes up most of his time. According to Clevinger, he is supported primarily through income from Nuklear Power's advertising revenue, merchandising, and sales of Nuklear Age.

Clevinger's Grandfather, Chief Warrant Officer Michael J. Novosel, passed away April 2, 2006.

Humor

Clevinger has stated that "[his] favorite comics are the ones where the jokes are on the reader." ([1]) Perhaps as a result, he is known for his anticlimactic moments. For instance, the Light Warriors accidentally killed the Dark Elf Astos via a heartbreakingly awful taunt rather than a conventional epic battle.
