Guy and dolls..

Good to be here..

Dethklok's The Dethalbum debuted at #21 on Billboard, making it the highest charting Death Metal album ever.
I'll be seeing them in Illinois on November 13.
I absolutely cannot wait.
Now go forth..
Go forth and die.

Can I borrow your shirt?

Over at The Drawing Board, I was given a number of suggestions as to different ways I could do this picture of happy little Superman. I tried to quickly implement some of the suggestions I received and here are the results. I'd appreciate your feedback as to which one you prefer... because I love you and value your opinion.

Up here?

Science marches ever closer to Star Trek as "quantum teleportation" becomes a reality.


Just another of the priceless panels from The Irredeemable Ant-Man.
Now don't you wish you'd been buying it?
Don't you?!

I also made some icons for absolutely no reason.

Now, son of Jor-El...

Kneel before Zod.

In the not too distant future..

While you (read : Curt) may recall me saying that the first issue of JLA/Hitman was just okay, I'd like to let you (read : Curt + anyone else) know that the second issue was definitive comic excellence.
I thought of doing one of my "A Series of Images.." posts with this comic, but you really need to read the whole thing to get the full effect.

Also, Curt, you really need to get on that updating your blog thing. I'm anxious.
In return, I will continue to work on our comic.

Very..


very..


slowly.

Get moving..

So, I don't know if I've ever mentioned this on here before, but as you might have been able to discern on your own, I often have a hard time deciding between multiple versions of the same drawing.
Take this happy little Superman for example.

Same picture essentially, but I cannot for the life of me decide which one I prefer.
As always, click on them to view them full-sized and if you have a preference, I'm happy to hear it.

I know it's an important day!

And now, it is my proud privilige to present to you some "highlights" from The Star Wars Holiday Special..

Have I crossed the line?

Curt got me this in San Diego (when we were at Comic-Con) fulfilling my childhood dream of owning the Super Powers Justice Jogger.
If you click on this photo, I've written some notes on it on the Flickr page.
For those of you unfamiliar with Flickr, all you have to do is hover your cursor over the picture and little squares will appear over certain parts of the image.
Those squares then have little text bubbles that pop-up when you hover your cursor over them.
I'm sure you're all familiar with Flickr, but on the off chance someone isn't, I'd hate to make them feel left out.

It's deadly.. to him..

So you say you want to watch Superman Returns, but you have less than 6 minutes to spare.

Luckily for you, I'm here to help.

All through the night..

Which do you prefer?

I've got a GPA higher than Hendrix on New Year's Eve..

Things To Do When I Get Home From Work
1. Change shirts.
2. Make big sandwich.
3. Eat big sandwich.
4. Find a monster movie to put in DVD player.
5. Draw comic until I pass out.

How was she to know..

Can we all agree that Alan Tudyk (of Firefly/Serenity fame) would make a great superhero?
I think we can.
But who?
That is the real question.
It'd have to be a superhero with a sense of humor, that much is certain.
Couldn't he be Blue Beetle or Booster Gold?
Ok, that's really all I have on the matter.

Dear DC Comics,
Why haven't you made a poster of this?

I mean, it really seems like Mr. Smith went out of his way to provide you with this perfect poster opportunity.

The way I want it to read..

Party Til You Start Freaking Out.

My father will never forgive me...

I really loved The Irredeemable Ant-Man, so, as you might have expected, Marvel cancelled it.
Marvel said the book wasn't selling well enough.
Hence my drawing up there for all of you who weren't buying it.
Anyway, and now for what I'd like to call, "A Series of Images Illustrating Why You Should Have Been Buying The Irredeemable Ant-Man".
The following is pages 15-17 of issue #7.



If those three pages don't convince you this was a great book, I don't know what will.
The first six issues of this book were collected in an inexpensive digest-sized trade already, with the collection of the last six issues coming shortly.
I also did this version of that picture with some color in the background.

I couldn't decide which one to use, so I figured I'd just put them both up here for you to decide.
By all means, let me know which you prefer.

We're a totem pole..

The most bizarre commercial for a razor I've ever seen.

I'd also like to let everyone (specifically Curt and Joe) know that I finally got around to reading JLA/Hitman #1.
It was okay.


Check out this girl's awesome Wonder Woman sweater!
It only took her 14 months to make it.

Just one more kick..

So, I never saw that awful looking Balls of Fury movie, but Tuesday night I did watch Ping Pong.
As you might already know, table tennis is a big deal in Japan.
That poster might make the movie seem kinda silly, and parts of it are, but it's more a "coming to terms with who you are / what friendship means / light drama" kind of movie than a comedy.

Anyway, the point is I really liked it.
While I was watching it I found myself thinking, "I'm going to have to do some fan-art for this to put on the blog."
Here is that fan-art.

This is the main character, Peco.
My goal when drawing this was to get it done as quickly as possible without too much thinking so that I could go to bed. To that end, my goal was accomplished.
His arm is intentionally very long, but (stylistic choice or not) I think I went a little too far with it.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't already started thinking about doing more fan-art with this movie's characters.

I think I know how he felt...

If anyone knows who's responsible for this, please let me know.

Certain stars..

UPDATE!
I went back and added a few captions to all of the pictures from the Brit #1 "A Series of Images.." entry just below this one. (Editor's Note : You have to click on the photos to see the captions.)
If you don't care for what passes for humor or commentary around these parts it's okay to skip it.
It's not much of a value add, but it's there, so I figured you should know.
Just in case.

It's kind of a rough one...

And now for what I'd like to call, "A Series of Images Illustrating Why You Should Be Buying Brit".
The following panels are all from Brit #1.
As always, click the pictures for a closer look.


All the introductions you need in two handy dandy captions.
Also, you'll notice Brit is climbing out of a dinosaur's mouth... I mean, I don't know what else to tell you.


Brit may be invincible, but that doesn't mean his clothes can't be Snuggle-soft.
(I know that sentence has a double-negative in it, but I have no idea how else to say that.)


And you wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Not to mention, I think we can all enjoy a good Bill Bixby quote.


Now there's a t-shirt slogan just waiting to happen!
How badly do you think Mark Millar wishes he'd written that line?
I'd bet real, real bad.

And if that wasn't convincing enough, Newsarama has the entire first issue up for you to read at your leisure.
The first issue is available in finer comic shops everywhere and the second issue came out today.
So there you have it.
Go buy Brit!

UPDATE : I made a Brit icon.
For absolutely no reason.
