Gunwild: "Oh my goopness" kind of breaks the rule about Vanaa language that the words should actually both rhyme, sound "squishy," and have a similar meaning.
Gunwild: Those rules can bend with one exception, but a...

Someone in the comments mentioned that the guards, who lost their rifles when they got spaced last time, should have had sidearms. I wanted to be like "They have them, one will show up next page, it's been in the script all along, we're not stupid!"<...

We actually considered doing the same thing again where Mercy shows up in an opaque helmet and takes a page or two to show her face. But honestly, after seeing her fail in her only two previous missions, my thinking is that the audience is not going ...

Gunwild: I like that first panel, it'd make a good desktop background or something.

There's a distinct possibility that every pinup featuring Motor Minx is going to feature her being cleaned like a particularly attractive car.

The main thing I have to say about this page is that I'm sorry I screwed it up.
Not the idea for the rotating shields deflecting incoming kinetic projectiles, that's good. Or the way we got to show Theira nailing the shot without it working, so tha...

This phase, where things aren't colored or shaded yet, actually calls attention to a couple of things that I think Psu does really well. The work with both perspective and line weight gives you a really good sense of distance in the first panel, so y...

So, behind-the-scenes thing here, the comic that got me seriously into reading and collecting comics was Ultimate Spider-Man back in about the year 2001. Eventually that series hit 100 issues (all of them excellent), and the writer, Brian Mi...

Next update will be the one where we celebrate #200! It's actually a few more than 200 updates, but we didn't want to interrupt the story we were doing. Much as #100 was Maddy's birthday, this one will be Cassiopeia's. It won't be an extra-length one...

The characters we cut away to are subject to change, but these kinds of occasions are always good chances to bring back folks we haven't seen in a while. Last time, when Cassiopeia's race was starting, we got in Lefyne and Gleb and the Vraxiopeia col...

In the future, it will be absurdly easy to make hyper-accurate digital representations of, say, famous sports champions. You know, pose them however you like, wearing whatever you can imagine, to produce your own pictures.

There are a lot of ways a page can come together for a comic when a writer and artists are teaming up. With us, generally, it means that I write a script with a very specific number of panels, very specific dialogue beats, and exact instructions abou...
