Intermission — April 23 — Bigfoot Problems

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.

July 2013 If you’re a Kindle Fire user, remember, you can use the convenient Send to Kindle app (it’s free!) to send your Evil Inc comic to your device. July 2013 *SPECIAL NOTE Because of the massively successful Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming Webcomics Handbook, (not to mention a downright harrowing Web host / Content Management System switch last month) I fell way behind my production schedule for the July comics. That left Ed Ryzowski, the skillful colorist of Evil Inc, little (or no) time to work his tremendous craft. So the last two weeks of the July pre-release are in black-and-white. For now. As soon as the colored versions are ready, I’ll release an update for you to download and replace the early edition you bought. The July Evil Inc comic is 39 pages, and it concludes a time-travel adventure with Oscar and Oliver. Also, it’s the return of the Real Housewives of Transylvania for a special two-week storyline. Then, in Tale from the Evil Inc Archive, re-live the entire Ruby of Ragnoor storyline. Lightning Lady and the newly-villainized Elastic man team up to steal the Ruby of Ragnoor — a jewel with rumored mystic properties. But what happens when it falls into the hands of Miss Match, who uses it to try to simplify her hero/villain secret marriage with Captain Heroic? Simple. Captain Heroic forgets he’s married, starts fooling around with the aptly-named Amazing Amazon, and arrests Miss Match. It’s a classic Evil Inc storyline with surpise twists and dangerous curves!
