Wait… wait… does that mean Harvey is a… ? Big thanks to artist Chip Skelton for making this page sing. I just love, love, love the pacing and that killer final panel. Nice work, my friend.

Artist Chip Skelton’s layouts blow me away with each new page. He’s a true designer. He doesn’t think solely in terms of panels, the thinks in pages. Trust me, that’s a lot more work. And when it looks as good as this, it’s worth it.

535 – A Superhero, His Sons, His Ex and His Evil Best Friend are Locked Up in a Palace…
by Brock Heasley on September 16th, 2013Feels like forever since we’ve check in on Cap and company. When last we left them, they had a heckuva surprise visitor who had some ominous news before taking off. Now, they’re locked up in Zurida’s Palace–somewhat by choice, somewhat not. Cap made a devil’s bargain to get Michelle back… so now what? I really [...]

When last we saw Zurida she was making one heckuva deal with Jerry. What is still unexplained is what, exactly, she wants to do with the power crystal now that she has it. That’s next week. See you then. Sometimes, strips like this are frustrating because they essentially serve as transitions to to the stuff [...]

UPDATE! Marc posted this shot of the inks for this strip on his Instagram and I just had to share it with you guys: Sometimes, Marc just goes all out. I know for a fact this monster of a strip consumed his life for the past few days. Well worth it, Marc. Well worth it. [...]

Marc did a great little character design with Sokol, who is appearing for the first time with this chapter. I believe Marc’s getting a blog up soon about the thought that went into the look of Sokol. There’s some really nice little touches in there that might not be real obvious at first. Next week [...]

I may have overextended a bit with this one. For those of you keeping track at home, there’s 7 characters in panel 2. You artists out there know that the more characters you add to a panel, the longer that panel takes. I kind of put Marc to work on this one since panels 1 [...]

I was positively knocked out by that first panel. That’s a lot of very tiny characters Marc fit in there, and I can identify all of them. Pretty snazzy. For those of you just joining us… this what it looks like when it hits the fan. Tangerine, who has repented of his killing ways, has [...]
