Hey, I’m back! Had a nice little break there and now I’m back in full force (though I’ve been active in the comments and in posting blogs), ready to provide the regular dose of inanity for you to skip over on your way down to the comments. Today’s strip is a reveal I’ve been looking [...]

Swifty. Nothing if not consistent. If you missed it–and because it’s such a big deal it deserves repeating–Marc’s art was recently used by Marvel without his persmission for their 75th Anniversary television special. All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]

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 [...]
