One of the obvious downsides of maintaining your secret identity is that you can’t have serious conversations with your super-coworkers. Not without resorting to a lot of euphemisms like, “A friend of mine…” or, “I heard someone say once…” Especially when you’re Spider-Man, and it’s not easy for you to make friends!
I’ve mentioned before that Rage was a character who caught my attention in some of the earliest comics I ever remember buying; what I particularly liked about him was how he didn’t really try to affect a superhero “persona.” He was a person (a 13-year old kid, in fact) and a superhero in equal measure….
I wish I had anything useful about the genesis of this idea, but I don’t. Inspiration just struck, and would not let go, until I had finished bringing this comic strip into existence. It still makes me laugh, looking at it, and I hope it’s entertaining to you, too! Red Guardian’s actually a funny character,…
The Fabulous Frog-Man is a character (and particularly a character design) that I’ve always adored; his desperation to do the right thing, in spite of his inexperience and (some might say) incompetence is very endearing. My hope is to, eventually, build out the cast of characters – students and faculty alike – at Midtown High…
Life got pretty busy, here, all of a sudden, thanks to graduate school homework. I even missed a whole week of comic posting, I got so buried. So, I’ve switched the name of the comic strip (again) to All-New, Overworked Avengers, and had to dial my comic productivity back to one of these four-panel strips…
Back to the action, after some delay, once again! (and, once again, a blog post waits below, for anybody interested in what I thought of the first season of The Captain Picard Show, as it was originally airing!) from Feburary 24, 2020 (about episode 5): (I’ve mentioned my dislike for moment-by-moment recaps and reactions to…
Hopefully, somebody besides me was excitedly anticipating the arrival of Justin Hammer, ever since his presence was confirmed in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe earlier this year. Tony Stark can never have too many rivals or antagonists, after all! I think this marks the first of my comic strips without a single…
In the MCU, and throughout most of Marvel Comics’ history, Captain America’s always been the guy who declares, unambiguously and forcefully, what he thinks is right, and stands by his words. Though it might result in a calamity, like the wrecking of New York City in the Civil War comics event, or him resigning his…
If there’s anything we’ve learned from the last several years, it’s that unchecked online radicalization has the unfortunate tendency to leak into the real world. The internet: it’s not just an imaginary place, anymore (not that it ever was before)! Not even the Avengers are safe from the people who went down all the worst…
A training session is always a good way to kick off a fresh direction in a story, I think! A conversation and some low-stakes action? What better way to set the table for everything to come than that? Thor sure is staying busy, isn’t he? Between general morale-boosting work, and driving the bus to the…
