{democracy:55}

I originally thought, “What power would, if everyone in the world had it, most dramatically change human society?” but then I thought it might be more fun to speculate on what you yourself would do if you were singularly gifted, and everyone else stayed the same. So here we go!

Sample Warrior Mini character

Nothing fancy, but I put the faces in tonight and wanted to see how they came out. The hair got done this morning, and that Top was completed last night. Pretty fun to play with. Hope you’re having a fun Halloween dressing yourself up for real tonight!

I’ll let Rick give some background for the character if he chooses, but it’s a neat concept, I hope I did him justice.

Your chance to win your own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason) is going on now, with Caption Contest 33!

The sound of stupid

With thanks to Chris Sims over at “Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog”, I submit this image as evidence that the hyper-silliness of the modern super-hero comic has finally come to the world of onomontoPOWia:

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with Chris — that’s not cool, it’s just stupid. It’s the “Every panel a poster” approach of Walt Simonson’s epic all-full-panel Thor vs. the Midgard Serpent issue only waaaaaayyy too self-aware, to the point that (for me at least) my immersion in the created world crashes to a halt with me thinking “Craka-whaaaaaa–?!”.

Or maybe I’m just dressed as a grumpy old man for Halloween, shaking my fist at all these whippersnappers and shouting “Get off my comics lawn”, I dunno. But it’s an abomination, I tells ya!

Plus, I find it profoundly troubling that if the camera angle were just a little lower, we’d totally have a super-hero Hercules “upskirt” shot here. And that’s just wrong.

Why this cover is awesome

bad-cover-bond.jpg

This cover is awesome because the comic book issue it fronts for does not feature anyone on a motorcycle, nor a tank, nor an M-16, nor David Hasselhoff. It is misleading in every possible way, and that = awesome.

Plus, it has a story titled “Bombertrussel” which as anyone who speaks Finnodeutschish knows, means “exploding pastries”. And I’m always up for some bombalicious pastry.

Random Panel: Thanks for the update, and please stop making that hand gesture
