Comic book geekery
I've committed fanfic once more. The Punisher poses a question to Batman: why doesn't he just kill that damned clown? Read Bruce Wayne's reply at https://archiveofourown.org/works/16723992. Leave me a kudo if you like it.0
Betwain a Rock Star and a Heard Place
A short update this time--only three pages--where a very confused superhero tries to figure out what's going on while Liss settles on a famous literary figure for her latest shapeshifted form. With Liss holding his body hostage, does Apocalyx Go have any choice but to . . . well, go? And where to? Last but not least, does Liss have to go as well, or is that trip to the bathroom just a flimsy excuse? For those who care, the superhero here is based on a guy in a swimming costume from 1920. Taken from a black-and-white film called WHY CHANGE YOUR WIFE, starring Harold Lloyd and Bebe Daniels; digitally altered by yours truly. All this, as usual, at http://thecrossover.thecomicseries.com/.0
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Well, it's Wednesday again--funny how that seems to roll around every seven days or so. Probably just a coincidence. Anyway, the last week saw me bed-ridden with a terrible cold, which means . . . YOU GET AN UPDATE ANYWAY! Yes, I refuse to let a virus keep me from inflicting more webcomicness upon you all. Head on over to http://thecrossover.thecomicseries.com/ to find out why Liss looks like a weird monkey-frog thing--and it's not an illusion spell.0
Universal Collaboration
Huzzah! It's Wednesday, and that means more new pages up http://thecrossover.thecomicseries.com. Liss catches up to Apocalyx Go--but things aren't what they seem. And this panel features the first of my Anyverse collaborators, Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk. Lynne is multitalented artist, but these days she's concentrating on making robot sculptures out of upcycled materials. Her stuff often has a Steampunk feel, though the image I'm using here is of one of her earlier, more Atompunk works. There's a link to her Facebook page in the Author's comments on the bottom of the comic page; please, go check out her awesome stuff. This is an important day for me, because this is the first time I get to say, "Hey! Look! I'm helping to promote a creator I adore AND I get to play with her toys in my Anyverse! EVERYBODY WINS!" This is one of the central tenets of The Crossover; to help promote creative work other people have done while weaving those creations into my own crazy world. All of the previous creators I've gotten to collaborate with have been dead--kudos to those of you who spotted my casting of Harold Lloyd as Warlocke Holmes--but that's a trend I'd like to reverse. As the story progresses, I'd like to feature the work of costumers, jewelry-makers, writers, and other comic creators. I should add that creators retain all rights to their creations, and that my intention is to promote work you've already done, NOT to ask you to work for free. So drop by and pull up a barstool. Drinks are on me.0
