#7- The Expositioner Strikes Back

Pete — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 04:48:50 +0000

Go go custom Batcave! Papier mache and chicken wire. The computer is from the Star Trek Enterprise Broken Bow set, like everyone else uses when their Batman figures need Bat-computers. The entire thing is still a work in progress, but I’m proud of the start! I always worry when I get wordy in the strip…but [...]

Taking the Super out of the Boy (or how I learned to stop worrying and love the reboot)

Pete — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 07:37:55 +0000

So there’s been a lot of talk and cross talk about the new DC Universe (I join others in the belief that the term “DCnu” is appalling) that debuts next month, or rather technically at the end of this one, with Justice League #1 on August 31st. Longtime followers of DC should be well used [...]

The villain will, of course, be Goatee. This is Side Burn! He’s a recolor of a toy released in 2006 as Rodimus, who was really Hot Rod, but couldn’t be called that for legal reasons. (Hasbro let the character lapse for a decade plus, and was unable to later reacquire the trademark. Since Hot Rod [...]

#6- Tools of the Divine

Pete — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:43:58 +0000

First things first; most of the folks I roll with (because we roll in toy collecting circles, that is how hip and cutting edge we are) will know what Macguffins are, but for the rest of you, I am not making this stuff up. Okay, I kind of am, with the cult and religion and all, [...]

Sometimes I think of things. Sometimes they’re horrible.

SDCC 2011 Matty News

Pete — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 07:52:52 +0000

Oh man, you guys. Okay, so I’m in the minority in that Matty’s MOTUC and wrestling stuff means SQUAT to me. I love me some DCUC though. First–the reveal of the LoSH 12 Pack. Now either it’s a 13 pack, or someone included an empty blister that they’re labeling Invisible Kid. Frankly, I so badly [...]

Plots and plans.

Two weeks of silence! Inexcusable! My bad, you guys. Not intentional–I’ve even done the primary shooting for the next few strips. I sat down to edit, though, and thought of things I could do better in the shoot. So I went back to do those, and then I started having other ideas… What I’m saying [...]

#4- Cross Country

Pete — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:29:25 +0000

MORE RUNNING Barry’s quip at the end there was so bad I winced. So naturally I left it. I forgot how much time editing takes! This was intended for last week, but it wasn’t until today that I had the time to sit down properly and do the major editing. Was a nice zen day [...]

The Favorites

Pete — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 04:22:51 +0000

Honestly, I’ve never been a huge Superman fan. I appreciate what he represents and I understand how the nature of his character is necessary as the cornerstone of the DCU, but the character itself, while charming, was never endearing. Frankly, he was too pure, too perfect, too much of a boy scout. I like flawed [...]

#3- Ominous Foreshadowing!

Pete — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 09:41:03 +0000

This was originally the first panel of a bigger strip, but I ran into some trouble with the prepwork–namely, it’s much more difficult if you haven’t slept for going on 30 hours. Who knew? Oh well, I’ll just use the weekend to do some proper scripting. Also, if you haven’t guessed, the previous daily update [...]
