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 [...]
Welcome to Chapter 15; Invasion, Part Two – Inaction Heroes No More! This chapter will see the Fogeys begin to embrace a different-or rather, old–way of life as they must step up to defend the Earth from the alien invasion after the Society of Heroes was killed. You’re gonna see some moments you’ve all been [...]
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 [...]
This is another one of those where I’m super glad I’ve got a collaborator as good as Marc. I had a simple text display in mind for the DNA Scanner, but Marc was all… nah, hologram. Kudos, Mr. Lapierre. You made it sing. Wanna know who the green guy is? We’ve seen him a few [...]
Marc knocked me out with the last panel. I’m guessing some of you as well. He’s got a new method for creating the art now, though it’s impossible for any of you to have noticed. Now, instead of roughing things out in blue pencil first, he’s doing his roughs digitally. This allows him to size [...]
You didn’t really think Spy Gal was done with Zurida already? Not by a long shot! Be sure to tune in on Wednesday to see how Spy Gal handles that incoming Space Monkey ambush!
I gotta admit I struggled with this one. Remember, Marc and I are doing the end of this chapter Stan and Jack style–he’s drawing from a basic plot, and I’m adding in the dialogue after the fact. It’s definitely fun, but also stressful. I don’t want to take anything away from Marc’s great illustrations. I [...]
A lot of you have been commenting lately that you’re enjoying one of the newer additions to the cast, Fly Guy. Actually, his name is Atomic Fly, but you’re forgiven since his name has only been mentioned once or twice. Hopefully we’ll get see a few more newbies in the strips ahead. Fun fact! I [...]
Silent strip! For those who hate to read. Thanks, Marc, for doing the heavy lifting on this one. Chapter 15 – Invasion, Pt. 2: Inaction Heroes No More! ends on Monday! Chapter 16 – Invasion, Pt. 3: Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun begins on Wednesday!
I don’t know when we’ve ever fit so many characters into a panel so small. I’m not even sure who all of those guys are! That’s exciting. Cami Fans: The real life Cami had her eighth birthday on Monday. On Saturday, we held our 4th Annual Birthday Ball Party in her honor–a half hour party [...]
