People crash through walls a lot in this saga. (<–I’m sure there are more.) You’ve met the Earth-Avalon version of the Lodge of Doom… now, here’s the Society of Heroes. To save you the trouble of looking through the tags, from left to right that’s Ms. Missile, Swifty, Raptor XII, General Will, Captain Spectacular II, [...]

There’s a little bit of an info drop in that first panel, but forget about that BECAUSE HOLY CRUD THAT SECOND PANEL! The only bad thing about it is it’s so small. Marc draws battles and combat as good as the best and he did not disappoint here. The new coloring technique he’s been using [...]

For a second there I thought this was strip #666. Would have been appropriate if it was. I have to say it’s crazy fun to work on this alternate reality. I love what Marc did here with the Thrice Cave. OF COURSE it looks just like Thrice Evil’s head from the outside. Y’know, Thrice, that [...]

Swifty was gone so long from the strip that I kind of forgot how much fun he can be to write. There’s a lot of dialogue crammed into this strip, but his stuff, though incidental, is my favorite. I guess even when you bring a ton of new characters onto the stage, they can’t really [...]

This isn’t any kind of secret, but at the same time I’m not sure anyone has noticed that Swifty is the one character who has not changed one bit since Chapter 1. There’s no arc for him, no softening of his hard edges. Swifty is Swifty. Does that mean he can NEVER change? No, but [...]

Swifty. Nothing if not consistent. If you missed it–and because it’s such a big deal it deserves repeating–Marc’s art was recently used by Marvel without his persmission for their 75th Anniversary television special. All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]

Swifty is back! It’s actually been awhile since he was in the same time and dimension as the other Fogeys, believe it or not. He only briefly returned after the one year time jump, but then shuttled off to Earth-Avalon almost immediately. He was great fun over there, but I’ve missed having the guy around [...]
