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 [...]

SNEAK PEEK: The Crimson Spelunker!
by Brock Heasley on September 21st, 2012Here we go again! Another look at a new Fogey you’ll be seeing more of in the upcoming Chapter 15 (starts October 1st!), The Crimson Spelunker! Once again, Marc is showing off a YOUNGER version of the character first. You’ll meet the older incarnation soon enough (though you if you look closely at SF 444, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I think I mentioned that I’ve been rereading SF lately as I prepare files for Comixology. In the course of that, I’ve noticed that one thing I have a tendency to do is cut rapidly between simultaneously occurring scenes, jumping from character to character sometimes after only one or two strips. That’s fun and it [...]

Welcome to a bit of extra fun. Marc is taking a short vacation from the regular duties and in the mean time I’m taking them back with a short, four-part series that’s a little off from our regular programming. Mostly, these serve to give me a chance to illustrate some characters I’ve never drawn before [...]

The Crimson Spelunker has been mostly a background character, but he’s a great design and I always look forward to finding new opportunities to use him. Marc designed a terrific vehicle for him with that driller. Some of you had some questions about Jerry’s escape in the previous strip and the nature of his powers. [...]

Every time I challenge Marc to give SF some sweep and scope… he comes through in spades. I only wish that first panel were bigger so I could get some of those captions out of the way. This whole flashback sequence is gonna really give Marc a chance to shine. I can’t wait for you [...]
