The roots of this scene, emotionally speaking, can be found right at the tail end of Chapter 17. Man, we are so excited to finally be doing this chapter. These events have been planned for a long, long time…

I don’t know what it is, but that second panel is something particularly special. The hair whipping about, the angle on Dark Maiden’s face, the energies swirling around her…there’s a whole energy there. Other than that, there’s nothing good happening here. Look for Spy Gal’s unexpected response next week. See you on Tuesday with 870 [...]

I think the position is defensible here, even if the math is all wrong. Dark Maiden is talking about, what, a dozen deaths? As opposed to the billions who live on the Earth? Maybe it’s Spy Gal’s math that’s all wrong?

I hope everyone is enjoying this action-heavy chapter because the one little tidbit I’ll let slip about the NEXT chapter is that is that it is a radical shift from what we’re doing here. Expect not so much of the punchy-punchy and the slammy-slammy. Which is not the same as saying the next chapter will [...]

SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Swifty did not start out as a character I particularly liked. I know that’s a strange thing to say. Generally speaking, as a creator, you’re supposed to like all your characters. But Swifty was invented to express a cranky side of being old that I don’t much admire. Slowly, over time, [...]

How long has that last panel been coming, huh? Over a decade, at least. I just recently started prepping the digital (and eventual print) edition of this chapter and these sequences just sing on the page. So, so beautiful. Marc has really stretched himself this chapter, particularly with the colors, and I can’t wait for [...]

Love ‘em and leave ‘em. That’s Star Maiden’s motto. Maybe not. But my goodness I love everything about what Marc is doing here. Beyond epic. I can feel the Michael Bay in this one. See you on Tuesday with 897 – Streaking Past!
