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 [...]

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 [...]

Marc knocked me out with the last panel. I’m guessing some of you as well. He’s got a new method for creating the art now, though it’s impossible for any of you to have noticed. Now, instead of roughing things out in blue pencil first, he’s doing his roughs digitally. This allows him to size [...]

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