And that’s a wrap for Captain Spectacular and Star Maiden’s journey in the Inevitable Dimension. Now you know how they fell in love and how Cap could break Spy Gal’s heart so terribly when they returned to Earth all those years ago. Big, HUGE thanks to artist Julio Molina-Muscara and colorist MAD Conk for helping [...]

Welcome to SuperFogeys Babies–the most ill-advised SuperFogeys Origins story yet! I know, I know. In the history of hacky ideas, is there one worse than doing baby versions of your characters? Probably not, but why let that stop us? I can only promise this: it’s gonna be FUN. My cohorts this time out are artist [...]

Finally! Your first look at the full roster of SuperFogeys Babies! I think Denver and Jeff did some remarkable design work. I worked up a sketch of the SuperFogeys as babies a couple years ago, but I just used their same costumes. Denver and Jeff designed entirely new looks for each of the characters and [...]

So sorry for the lateness of this page! Artist Denver Brubaker and colorist Jeff Couturier are real pros and had it done in time. I just forgot which day it was and didn’t get it up! That may be the lamest reason for a late page possible, but it’s true. It’s really too bad because [...]

Okay, I know last week I said page 3 was my favorite of this story, but now I think we have a new contender. It’s entirely possible I’m the only one so terribly amused by this story, but I don’t even care. Denver Brubaker’s toddler spin on my designs cracks me up . And Jeff [...]

Denver and Jeff continue to do an incredible job with this script. To my eyes, every script is looking better than the last. It’s just great, fun stuff. Many people warned me against this story, but if nothing else the art justifies it. I hope you’re all having as good a time as I am [...]

The second panel makes this page for me. The dialogue is pretty consistent with what I originally scripted, but artist Denver Brubaker and colorist Jeff Couturier took it to another level by actually visualizing what Dr. Rocket is describing. I laughed out loud when I saw it. Nice work, guys! That last panel is a [...]

It was really important to me to do a story that shed some light on Money Man’s character. He’s a student of people, a psychologist in a way, and a little manipulative when he needs to be.
