I gotta say… I did not expect this chapter to be this long. 44 strips. That ranks it among the very longest of chapters. I think in that you can see the scope of this Invasion storyline. Everything you’ve seen so far… everything in Part One… it’s all been setup for what’s to come. I [...]

Marc just keeps it coming! Here’s the latest young version of an old hero you’ll be seeing in Chapter 15 – Atomic Fly! Atomic Fly was just your normal, everyday, average trapeze artist/law student when he was bitten by a radioactive fly. That didn’t do much besides make him sick for a month, but during [...]

Today’s strip is a tour de force and the result of a lot of hard work on Marc’s part. New characters are always a risky move because they take time away from the characters you love, but I think it’s important to establish that Valhalla is a lot bigger than we’re used to seeing. I [...]

One of the things I love most about the SuperFogeys Vol. 1 collection (available in finer comics stores soon) is the how much the silent strips stand out and add so much to the pacing of the chapters. It took me a long while to start doing them on the regular (the end of Chapter [...]

More silent panels. Satisfying? No? Refer to my notes in the previous strip for why we’re doing this. The meat of this chapter is coming, and soon. Gotta get through these appetizers first and set everything up. All that said…that’s some beautiful artwork by Marc, no? See you on Monday with 807 – Space Pig [...]

Don’t mess with Space Pig. Seriously. A big part of what I enjoy about the early part of this chapter is getting Cap and Swifty on a mission together, especially at this point in the story. Swifty has a long history of giving Cap a hard time, but not this more humbled version. And I [...]

Swifty running on water across the National Mall gives me such joy, but Atomic Fly always makes me laugh. He’s a character that’s a true collaboration between Marc and myself, created very much after I gave up art duties. He makes me smile. See you on Wednesday with 820 – Heart-Stopping Great Looks!

That…that Avalon Thrice Evil statue is a thing of beauty. I might weep. It occurs to me that we haven’t seen a lot of Cap and Swifty interacting in this series. These two have a long history, and Swifty isn’t really the kind of guy to let Cap forget who he used to be, despite [...]

Happy New Year, everybody! It’s good to be back. I think it’s fair to say both Marc and I hate taking hiatuses, but they are necessary to keep this going and keep the quality where it needs to be. How has everybody been? Christmas treat you well? Didn’t run into any Avalonian frogs, did you? [...]

I could do a whole spin-off series just with Atomic Fly. I really could. BRIEF HIATUS This is an artistically demanding chapter, no doubt about that. Marc is at the top of his game right now (seriously, this is the best-looking art he’s ever turned in for SF–maybe his best, period!) and as such we’ve [...]
