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.
I am opening up
preorders for the fourth volume of the Evil Inc Annual Report —
IN COLOR!
That’s right, colorist
Ed Ryzowski has gone back into the archives and colored the strips leading up to the beginning of his tenure with
Evil Inc, allowing me to offer a full-color book. Here’s a
sneak peek at a few of the pages.
At 104 pages, the book collects all of the strips from April 2007 to May 2008. However, this is not simply a collection of comic strips. Rather, I take the individual panels of the strips and lay out a continuous graphic novel. Since I do a storyline-driven comic, it reads smoothly from cover to cover, and since it’s based on a daily humor strip, reading it in one volume lends it a rapid-fire sense of humor.
The book can be preordered for $15. A limited-edition Artist’s Edition (“AE”) Vol. 4 can be bought for $30. A
Value Pack of all four books can be bought for $48 (saving you $10). A
Value Pack with an AE Vol. 4 is $63 (again, you save $10).
And for the first time ever, I’m offering a
SUPER VALUE PACK of Artist’s Editions of all four
Evil Inc books for only $95 (you save over $20)!
These books will be ordered by the end of May and will become available by mid-June. Artist Edition books will begin shipping shortly thereafter.
