The need for supplies and keeping up with it is slowly killing me, so I need some extra money. Inquire with a note or comment and I'll work out a price. I'm not crazy expensive and I try not to suck, so feel free to ask. Thanks in advance.

I'm secretly jealous of how awesome you are.
Don't tell anybody though, it's a secret!
:iconliteracysuks1:
A secret...of course.

You realize though that we now must kill all the people who have read it on my page. The blood is on your hands.

Oh fu-.
Great, now I'll have to change my name.
And move out of the country.

If you ask me -- and nobody did, but whatever -- the current Jacky Suave arc is looking to be one of the best yet. We're not even through his premier issue and already I'm scratching my noggin in puzzlement over just how our adolescent avengers could possibly quash this criminalistic Cary Grant. On a technical note, the panel layout is rocking the house more than usual; slanting the middle rows really seems to do wonders for crating a dynamic atmosphere. Dialogue is snappier than usual too, and it was plenty snappy to begin with. I don't want to sound to fangirlish over here, but damn, dude. You've been bringing the A-game.

My hero is a schizophrenic super-sleuth who kills gangsters as a hobby. He rubs elbows with crimefighting Mimes and killer Nuns. His greatest foe is a voodoo pimp.

Face it, you're going to read my comic. [link]

Thanks, glad you like it. I just got a comment about the dialog being too campy...but that's the risk of going forward with an idea I know is totally ridiculous, I guess. Heh. Not all is as it appears, though.

I'm thinking people'll like the second part of the arc, but I feel like I went too heavy on relationship stuff and didn't explain enough about suave. I hate when stuff doesn't come out like I planned. We'll see, at any rate .

Well, there's camp and there's genre savviness, and you've definitely got the latter going on. Can't blame the peons for not knowing the difference, I suppose...

It's funny, I didn't even know what that was when I started.

I guess I just figured that if I was going to treat these characters as real people they'd be more incline to notice the ridiculous nature and patterns of their situations, especially someone like Wade who's been at it awhile. It seems like the modern trend is to either write these situations totally out or ignore them in favor of making them "gritty", which I always found odd.

So much of "gritty" comic stories is actually the writer apologizing for the silliness of the medium. Superheroes are and shall always be vaguely goofy, but so's everything, if you think about it. Writers who can just accept that and move on usually don't feel the need for excess grit. It's funny, Frank Miller's earlier stuff -- y'know, the Daredevil and Batman stories that made grit popular -- were still filled with the silliness of the subject matter. He embraced it, presenting the costumes and the codenames without embarrassment, which made them cool instead of campy. Daredevil could just chillax and have a soda while in full costume, and Batman could strap all kinds of weapons to himself even as his tights bunched a little at the knees. But people didn't see the fond mockery in his work, just the blood and the stubble. Hence, the 90's.
