If you’re hoping to get signed Evil Inc books and other evil mementos, San Diego is going to be the place to be next week. I’ll be bringing all three Evil Inc Annual Report volumes, copies of the How To Make Webcomics book, and a few copies of the two Courting Disaster volumes.
Also, I’m going to have a selection of original art on hand for sale. If you’re going to be at the convention — and if you’d like to have a particular strip available for purchase — please get in touch using the e-mail link at the top of the page. I’ll have an original Phables comic for sale, too.
Finally… BUTTONS! I’ll have buttons for a buck at the booth. Choose from three styles: The Evil Inc logo, the VILF design, and a Lightning Lady illustration. You can see the designs above. The Lightning Lady button is the first in a series of Evil Inc character buttons, so get yours now!
If you’re going to the convention — and if you want something that’s not listed above — please get in touch so I can have it on hand for you!
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.
