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 [...]

Valhalla is a big place and there’s only so much room from week-to-week to show you all its denizens. But, sometimes, the right story comes along and we get to see some of the characters who make up the fringe. You already saw a hint of Raptor X in SF 444, but in Chapter 15 [...]

Mar 6, 2014 | NEW CHARACTER: Li’l Shorty! |
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 [...]

It’s definitely fun, but also stressful. I don’t want to take anything away from Marc’s great illustrations. I [...]
