"But comic lovers know that comics are more than just writing and drawing. There’s something else, a certain spark—a crackle, even—that happens in between the panels. Barda exists in a world of the brightest good and the darkest evil. Characters like Big Barda are iconic because they are so remarkably brave in the face of hopelessness. Barda believes against all odds. Barda is Jack Kirby’s Fourth World writ small—a case study in how nature vs. nurture is truly irrelevant. All that matters is that those who align themselves to good will always triumph. That needed to be in every page of this graphic novel. Well, that, and a few splashes of Kirby Krackle."

BARDA is out today!

Novel Effects of "The Cast of Binding" on Compatible Martian-Terrestrial Pairs

Read on AO3 Pairing: Tom/Hephaestus Rating: Mature Word Count: 10,958 words Summary: Hephaestus, son of Crucibus, is an incredibly intelligent, magically proficient, system-renown rector—a generational scholar. And for some reason this goofy human keeps showing up in his dreams.

who feels like crawling into a hole of world building with me?

Project 1 - Solar Trials. I always tend to work on this in the winter, perhaps due to minor nanowrimo goals. But a utopian scholar society on mars would be a nice garden to tend to at the moment

Project 2 - Orion. Honestly, this is just for me. I get to draw this book over the next year and a half. (Just finished thumbnails!) Jack Kirby is famous for having challenged Nazis to fist fights. Also, legend is, he allegedly (mythically, improbably) ambushed three Nazis and did away with all of them with a knife. So it has been really fun to work on one of his characters, Orion, who happens to be the embodiment of the righteous fury that destroys fascism.

Project 3 - My first attempt at novel writing is going so so so so badly, but it would be nice to finish this story and have the experience of working through a prose narrative? I'm at 15K words. It's about a magazine cartoonist who has to do a series of tiny desk-style interviews with a supposedly vapid (and obviously gorgeous) action movie star. I'm obsessed with New York and with snarky nerd boys getting swept off their feet by blonde jocks. (See: Boostle.)

Project 4 - There's always a bit more Check, Please to investigate, isn't there? What are Nursey, Dex, and Chowder up to?

Please chat in the comments, I beg.

i mean if I have one, very short, deranged comic maybe i should keep going and draw more Fourth World/Check, Please! crossover content?

It will symbolically represent how characters owned by a corporate entity are monopolizing my time and interfering with my capacity for original storytelling. But it will also highlight how these characters are nothing more than "OCs" like mine. Fourth World characters were created by Jack Kirby. I firmly believe if Jack Kirby were born today, he would've been the most deranged webcomics artist of all time.

Anyway it'd be stuff like this:

i do think it's funny that writing Bitty is like "oh lord my mini-pies!" and writing Orion is like "you stand before the god of retribution your destiny is to battle me and die"

oh my god do i ship Bitty/Orion

Jack: euh what tis ehappening right now

#i love how Orion is like "go ahead touch my chest i'm depressed" # :( #if anyone at DC asks this is AI. #i love that evan cagle is posting the most amazing art for the New Gods series and I'm doing this

if it's not clear i'm working on a graphic novel about the red guy
