Oh, Star Maiden. What happened? I find the different interpretations of who exactly Dark Maiden is in relation to Star Maiden really fascinating. There seems to be some disagreement, which surprises me. But that? That’s a real death. Don’t forget to tip the artist! Click on the Money Man picture below the strip to donate [...]

Here he is, the man of the hour, President Superknocker. He’s all I hoped for and more. Any resemblance to any Presidents either living or dead is strictly coincidental. These “news strips” come from my love of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Besides being a great story, I love how Miller tells his story [...]

FAN ART: Dark Maiden by Margaret Racine!
by Brock Heasley on May 10th, 2012What a great surprise this is! This is the first piece of fan art I’ve gotten for Dark Maiden and it’s beautiful and menacing. Big thanks to artist Margaret Racine for rendering her in such fine style. This isn’t Margaret’s first fan art rodeo. She also did the Thrice Evil up right a few months [...]

Aak! What is going on?? Two late strips in one week? I can count on one hand the number of times that’s happened in the past six years. So, twice in one week? Unprecedented. My apologies. Marc is awesome, don’t blame him. I am lame, blame me. Hopefully we’ll get all these issues ironed out. [...]

Everyone knows that all characters should be three dimensional. You’re more likely to believe in a fictional character when you can recognize the humanity–however manufactured–within them. One way of doing this, I’ve found, is to have characters treat some people one way and others a different way. There’s a side of Swifty that doesn’t really [...]

I’ve probably said it before, but pacing doesn’t get enough attention as one of the big keys to comic-making. Bad pacing can ruin a comic and make it unintelligible.

This strip feels like a throwback to me. Like it’s the kind of interaction that could have easily fit into the first 5 or so chapters when things were a little less crazy in the narrative than they are now. Maybe it’s just me, but I like that. That was certainly one of my goals [...]

So, here’s a thing. How does the call for peace square with the way peace is often achieved? I’ve always been fascinated by those who call for peace at any cost. Pacifism seems like a luxury of our day to me, though increasingly less so. As an American, I’ve been raised with the belief that [...]

This new chapter started out with a mighty punch for the simple reason that I wanted to signal to the reader that this is the kind of chapter you’re in for: a punching chapter full of action and destruction (and a little intrigue). So, of course, given all that, you’ve got to have the moment [...]

It’s the little things. Like Dr. Rocket and Percy breaking the boundary of the last panel. I love it. You almost don’t notice it, but it perfectly enhances the dynamics of the action in that panel. Little things like that make me happy. THE SWIFTY ORIGIN IS A GO! Good news! The long-awaited origin of [...]

This has been a long time coming. Zurida meets Earth-Avalon Thrice Evil. If you’ll recall (and you probably don’t because they were posted a long dang while ago), both Money Man and Star Matron have warned of this meeting. Not good! (He wrote, in his best Trump voice.)

Y’know, Soviet Sam is not one of those characters I really ever planned on adding to the cast. He was introduced in the Society of Heroes origin story as an atypical, regretful villain. His instant horror at having killed in the midst of battle was something I’d never seen before, so I thought it would [...]

The back-and-forth Dark/Star Maiden is a fun one for me. Dark is so much fun to write because, at this point, she’s kind of Kylo Renning it and trying to resist the pull towards the light, but I do tend to miss Star quite a bit when she’s not around. Her particular brand of crazy [...]
