Issue end

Well, I’ve finally finished a second issue of Variables. It’s both weird and frustrating to have two issues in the books. Weird because it feels like I’ve been doing this forever but in reality, it’s only been a little over a year. Frustrating in that “how have I finished only two issues?” At this point, it’s back to the 1992 arc to finish issue two. This shouldn’t take long, as I only have ten pages left in the issue until completion. Over the weekend, I started on the first draft of issue three and if there was a way I... View Article

Well, Karter starts fighting. There isn’t a lot to say about this page other than that. Karter doesn’t like killing people but in certain situations, he certainly isn’t above the act. The brand of zealotry that he subscribes to overshadows whatever moral compass he may have. As always, click through the image below to jump to the (nearly complete) first issue of Variables 2002.

Guns a-blazin’

I’m. Down. To. Just. Two. More. Pages. And then I’m done with the first issue of 2002! Production has been ramped up lately and given my newfound proclivity for waking up and starting work before 7am, I may be able to keep it up for awhile… which means that for the time being, Variables will be switching to a three every two schedule. The comic will update every Tuesday (as usual) and every other Thursday. I’ve been churning out more than two pages every week for the past three weeks so for starters, I think that schedule is something I... View Article

Somebody’s gonna get shot

Somebody’s gonna take a bullet in the next few pages, that’s for sure. This page was a relief if only because action scenes generally don’t require extensive background drawing. Karter is panicking a bit and does a last ditch move to alert the police to his presence. Why does he want them to know he’s there? You’ll have to wait for the next page to see that… As always, click through the image below to jump to the first issue of Variables 2002.

And… Fight!

I’ve mentioned fight scenes in Variables before but I think some of it is worth talking about again… Fight scenes in movies, television, and comics bother me a lot of the time. The fighters are nearly immortal. They take multiple punches to the face. They fight for ten minutes, then somehow find the strength to get up and do it again. Anyone who has been punched in the face knows that this just isn’t the case. Hell, look at boxing matches. If the fights go for 20+ minutes, the boxers are usually so tired that they’re lobbing junk at one... View Article

I’ll keep this morning’s update short. Here’s the new page! I’m pretty happy with it and given that I’m already close to halfway done with the next page, expect to see the preview for that on Monday morning and the page itself on Tuesday! That is all!
