There are some Bigfoot problems that hit harder than others — and for certain legendary figures, male pattern baldness anxiety isn’t just about looks… it’s about legacy. Today’s comic imagines what happens when one very famous cryptid starts wondering if his myth might not survive a receding hairline.
What I’m Watching: Invincible, JJK, and the Great Animation Trade-Off
I’ve been watching Invincible with my sons, and I’ve got… thoughts.
First off: the story? Very, very good. Genuinely compelling stuff — even though the violence and gore is way past my personal comfort range. I'm not super comfortable with one character shooting another. The stuff that happens on a median-level episode of Invincible is a real challenge for me.
As someone who does NSFW comics, I'm constantly amazed at how perfectly acceptable Invincible is... yet an animated series based on Phil Foglio's XXXenophile would have people losing their ever-loving minds.
Further, it's a little disappointing to go from watching Jujutsu Kaisen (which we're also following at the moment) to watching Invincible.
JJK features jaw-dropping visuals and animation that constantly raises the bar episode after episode. It's phenomenal.
On the other side of the spectrum, Invincible clearly put all of its budget into getting celebrity voice talent. Some of them are very good.
I just wish a few of those Amazon dollars had been spent on the animation. Some of the scenes are pretty clearly PNGs that get enlarged to show an object moving through space, and it's a goddamned embarrassment.
But the story itself is very, very good.
Evil Inc Annual Report Volume Two
Last week, I threw the doors open to the masses who have been hungering for the second installment of
Evil Inc Annual Report. If you’re not a hungering mass, here’s the deal: Annual Report is a graphic novelization of the daily comic strip.
It is not simply a collection of the daily comics.
I take the individual panels and lay out a graphic novel. Since I write a continuous storyline, the book reads seamlessly from cover to cover. I include a narration that moves the story along with background and plot points that are not available anywhere else.
I promised a preview and
here it is. Once you’ve checked it out, be sure to head over to Lulu.com and buy your copy today.
This book does not yet have an ISBN or car code. The back cover will have a white square where the bar code will eventually go. If that matters to you, wait just a short time, I’ll have those issues solved in a few days. I’ll be posted a heads-up when that happens.
