My friend owns a comic shop and got this email the other day.

"mr. sime,

mr naaga"

The capital letters lead to entertheletters.com, where there are four countdowns... I expect nothing else will happen until August, when if I'm right, the lowest counter hits zero. But I decided to post since I could find only one other mention of this email online. Thoughts??

 		From looking at the source, I found this:
http://mr-naaga.2savvy.com/

Now, if you look at the source of that, you get this:
www.semantink.com/Mythoi_Viral_Game/Enter_the_Letters/favicon.ico
http://www.semantink.com/Mythoi_Viral_Game/Enter_the_Letters/counter.html
and
http://www.semantink.com/Mythoi_Viral_Game/Enter_the_Letters/

The only one of them that works is the favicon, however, this URL works:
http://www.semantink.com/

And a Google search you may like:

 		Fropm some of the links posted above, I followed them to the comics in question for the arg.

I can tell you that it looks like the first 5 issues are available online for free at the link in the spoiler tag:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.semantink.com/page20/page20.html


I have just finished reading the first one. Within the pages are some advertisement pages, one of which leads to a fictional journal, interviewing the main character of the first issue.

The journal link is in the spoiler for anyone not wanting to see it:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.xobansjournal.com/


Within the journal article there are some clues to something. Some misspelled words, some odd capitalization, and "find the words" in a larger, bolder font. I'm working on trying to figure it out now, but it may require reading the other issues, and some of the links on the journal page.

Also the bottom of the journal page has some odd text:
Quote:
Iglafw ash otn omec ni eacep, eh ash omec ot illk. Eh untsh ish hildrenc, het astardb ffspringo ornb fo vile hrought enturiesc fo aper ta het andsh fo rendel'sg otherm. Iglafw ash otn omec ni eacep, eh ash omec ot illk. Eh untsh ish hildrenc, het astardb ffspringo ornb fo vile hrought enturiesc fo aper ta het andsh fo rendel'sg otherm. Iglafw ash otn omec ni eacep, eh ash omec ot illk. Eh untsh ish hildrenc, het astardb ffspringo ornb fo vile hrought enturiesc fo aper ta het andsh fo rendel'sg otherm.


The solution to which is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Wiglaf has not come in peace, he has come to kill. He hunts his children, the bastard offspring born of evil through centuries of rape at the hands of Grendel's mother. Then it is repeated 2 more times.
