In High School, no one is ever who they seem to be. Everyone holds a secret. Information becomes key to survival. Espionage fills the hallways as secret coded notes are passed back and forth, containing highly classified information that could be devastating if it falls into the wrong hands…It’s a dangerous minefield-- even without the involvement of shadowy government agencies!
Cally Calhoon knows this better than anyone. Recruited into a mysterious government agency called the QUAD, she works as an undercover field agent attempting to dismantle a worldwide terrorist organization known as The Chaos Imperious.
Cally balances a delicate tightrope of her high school life and her spy world. But as she delves deeper into missions of exotic locales, mysterious agents, and dazzling deathtraps, the startling scope of the Chaos Imperious plot begins to unfold before her; challenging everything she knows about her past, present, and future…oh yeah, and to make matters worse-- no one has asked her to the dance yet!
Keep up the great work guys. Cheers!
Great job this month, folks. Fun times, to be sure.

Spy6teen team, good competition; thanks for it!
Thanks, Kevin! And thanks to everyone for your support. We may not have won, but we still did pretty well thanks to all of you, and we had a lot of fun doing it.
Great Work Team Spy6Teen (and I'm not just saying that because Brant Folwer is a fried of mine) ! You guys are pound for pound one of the best creative teams on Zuda.
Tim & Co - great competition! Hope we'll be seeing more pages somewhere soon!
wehi,kwehi,& animatsuri- thanks so much for the Hawai'i love! Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono!! Next month I'm coming back to for an O'ahu visit-- can't wait! It's like a little reward for a month of comic book work!
Nicely done, Tim! It only took me two weeks to read and vote for it (but I did!).
I read about this yesterday in the Honolulu Advertiser. They should have ran the story earlier this month to get more Hawai'i votes here.
Great story and art hope a lot of last minute votes puts you over the top!

frequentcontributor -- all part of the master plan. There's a lot of story here, these are just the first 8 pages.
the biggest thing is that I didn't want to cram the kitchen sink into this intro. I've seen that done far too often-- you end up with a giant exposition mess. This was just a fun little intro ala the first 10 minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark...we'll get to the organizations and character connections down the line!
Also, I think you missed an opportunity to make the "black eye" guy someone closer to the protagonist, like her boyfriend or best (male) friend, instead of a jerky jock guy who she already doesn't like... As it is, we're just finding that the guy we know is a jerk is also an evil spy...
I generally liked this, although the art wasn't as good as I thought it would be (some of the action stuff got confusing...), and the narration text boxes were a little distracting and, mixed with the dialogue, made me lose track of what was happening. The concept is pretty cool, though. Reminds me of GateCrasher... I just wish we could have seen more of the organization behind the spy, like an underground lair of people responsible for Spy 16's teleporting and mission briefings, etc. Otherwise, nice.
Dragoncat pop into "Full Screen" mode-- that should make reading earier/legible.
I generally read all my Zudas in Full Screen mode-- It's like going from a small 13 inch TV to a 50 inch flatcreen!
The words are a bit small for reading, but it's a good story. Nice artwork, too.
JeffAlbertson y'know, oddly, of those three I've only seen Buffy. Spyboy I consciously stayed away from (despite Peter David being one of my favorite writers), and though Javi is a friend of a friend, I only read the first issue of Middleman.
I'll admit, there is a genre at play here-- one that is loosely defined, maybe adventure empowerment? And with any genre there are conventions to be paid. The interesting part is when the story forks off onto its own road-- that's the most important part of the story: The telling. These were the first 8 pages and for the future (as far as I'm aware) we aren't treading on any of the same roads as other stories people seem to compare us to.
This has some potential, but right now it seems a bit too derivative of Buffy, SpyBoy and the Middleman. This is probably the sort of story that I'd be more likely to follow in print form than on the web. Keep at it, though. Like I said, it has potential.
Lude we're hoping so too! Glad you dug it!
darthdad Thank you very much! Also, Zuda is a great place to discover great new stories! I do hope we get the chance to continue on with Spy6teen-- There's a lot of really awesome character/action fun coming up in the story!
BlaqueSaber Thanks very much!!
This is really good ...I would not be surprised to see this in print or elsewhere on the web...keep at it!
Has potential, but not the most solid offering. The art has some great moments and there are times where it lapses for me in terms of perspective and consistency. Kinda reminds me of Jim Valentino.
I really enjoyed this quite a bit. I'm new to the world of Zuda, but this is exactly what I'm looking for in a web comic. Fast paced, good character development, and a fun factor. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed this
RKB Thanks very much for the thoughtful review!!
Fray- Thanks very much! I am a fan of Whedon-- His Buffy stuff has basically become a part of my subconscious-- and really dug his X-men run...so, from a User Name like Fray, I can't help but take that as a compliment!
carolina_bryan - Great to "see" you Brian! Ah, the good 'ole Hawaii days- I do miss 'em!

This is really fun! I'm diggin the art style and color. It reminds me a bit of Buffy, which is good for me. I wanna know what's up w/ the big dumb brute - why is he going after the same treasure?!
Hey Tim, this is Bryan. We hung out a bit "back in the day" in Hawaii. Very cool to see you working on stuff like this. Best of luck!
thekev75 Thanks so much Kevin!!
iron ray- Hoping for a HUGE rally in the next week!! Thanks very much for the comment!
jfrancis- AHHHHHHHHHHHH! You gave away the ending!!! ( I keed, I keed...)
That's a great take though-- Did you ever read The Maxx? That had a similar plot device. Great series, BTW-- if you haven't read them, I highly recommend it!
This is AWESOME!!!! Love it!
Very cool stuff. I think you have a good chance in the comp. Good luck!
I like that it starts with a bang. I had a weird thought that she was actually a victim of some kind of abuse or trauma, and that her 'missions' were actually escape mechanism fantasies of power and control, and not at all real - only products of her mind. And that she learns from them and draws enough strength to ultimately confront, fight, and triumph over her real world problem. Weird, I know, but that's the idea that your comic sparked in me.
Let's GO, TEAM SPY6TEEN!
jderig Thanks very much! The KP comparison- sure, I get that. Funny enough, I've never seen an episode though-- I can see that there are surface level details that are similar (high school, red hair, adventure)-- But, I can positively say that this story goes to places that KP could never go. Oooh- a tease? To where? Well-- Vote to find out! =)
Glad you had a great time reading it!
Ooooo, I like this. It's not the most original of plots (Kim Possible, anyone?) but it appears to be going at things with a more introspective look, while usually the high school age spy is played off as a comedy with few serious moments. Anyways, can't wait to see more stuff, cheers!
Next person that gives us a Favorite (and crosses us from 99 to 100), let me know and I'll write a "Fake Fond Memory" for you, right here!
metsuke- thanks VERY much! couldn't agree more-- I've been stuck in the third place slump for the first two weeks! Need some votes to climb that ladder!!
gpz- Thanks very much for the support! If you liked the first 8 pages, I can't wait for you to see the next 52! That is, if we can only climb up the ranks! Hope you cast your vote our way!
Like 95% of the competitions on Zuda my original vote lay in the cellar and like most comps I am moving it up the ladder. C'mon...let's see you win this race.
nice work Slide! That's awesome!
