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.
For those of you asked about the next Evil Inc graphic novel, here’s your chance to help make it happen.
I’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign to
fund the printing of the next Evil Inc graphic novel!
If you haven’t seen an Evil Inc graphic novel, let me explain. Instead of doing the usual collection of comic strips, the Evil Inc graphic novels use the individual panels from those strips to layout comic-book-style pages. Throw in some never-before-seen panels and other content, and you have an entirely new reading experience!
And rewards? I think you’ll find a lot in there to like.
Of course, you can get the book and a DRM-free PDF to read on your digital tablet. But you could also get fantastic multiple-book packages, Artist Editions, original art and much more!
There’s a complete breakdown below. When you’ve finished looking it over,
go over to the site and select your reward level.
And then — by all means — help me spread the word! Tweet, post on Facebook, reblog on Tumblr… it all helps in a massive way!
Thanks for your support, and now let’s get to work!
