People crash through walls a lot in this saga. (<–I’m sure there are more.) You’ve met the Earth-Avalon version of the Lodge of Doom… now, here’s the Society of Heroes. To save you the trouble of looking through the tags, from left to right that’s Ms. Missile, Swifty, Raptor XII, General Will, Captain Spectacular II, [...]

There’s a little bit of an info drop in that first panel, but forget about that BECAUSE HOLY CRUD THAT SECOND PANEL! The only bad thing about it is it’s so small. Marc draws battles and combat as good as the best and he did not disappoint here. The new coloring technique he’s been using [...]

My scripts are usually pretty detailed, but this is one of those times Marc and I worked in the ‘Marvel Style’–I give Marc the general idea and he illustrates it accordingly, deciding how he wants to break things into panels and what he wants to show. I’ve learned to do this as much as possible [...]

Swifty was gone so long from the strip that I kind of forgot how much fun he can be to write. There’s a lot of dialogue crammed into this strip, but his stuff, though incidental, is my favorite. I guess even when you bring a ton of new characters onto the stage, they can’t really [...]

He only briefly returned after the one year time jump, but then shuttled off to Earth-Avalon almost immediately. He was great fun over there, but I’ve missed having the guy around [...]

Anybody else watching Star Trek: Discovery? I’m not gonna pretend it’s top tier television, but I do feel like it’s unfairly maligned.
