I remember hearing, years ago, that it was difficult to keep skillful writers on comic books that had large groups in them- Avengers, X-Men, that kind of thing. Something to do with keeping the different voices true and making sure everyone was involved and heroics were showcased in a balanced manner. Easy to mess up.
I know what they mean.
Either Paste is a hero or a zero… wait until and if Kara finds out. She’s probably out there defending Paste, who’s chewing on a trail bar and at the main power box.
Notice Cthula doing what looks like a roller derby move? Heh. And Action 7 cameraman is filming, so where is McTaggart?
Bottom of panel three, with teeth clenched and still clutching his microphone.
And then there’s Kelly leaping in from the left with HIS camera, except that he’s wielding it as a weapon.
GET REAAADYYYY TO RUMBLEEEEE!
I swear that’s the first thing that came to me when i saw that. it’s like…a battle royal of sorts it seems at this.
and all that “thanks” to paste…why am i not THAT surprise this lil flea is responsible for the power cut?
Defend your place!
In your face!
It’s a race!
To avoid that Mace(c)!
Hubris makes an NFL quality block on the ‘W’, Lowell goes for the pup, Mr. Cranky (need a name) flails the incoming Cthula, Kelly sacrifices his tripod, Kara moves in as reinforcement, Durnell apparently falls down. Paste takes care of Paste.
Looks like you got everybody’s true voice fairly well.
Oops. The one I took for Durnell is more likely the really beat up cop with the wild hair.
My understanding is, its hard from a design standpoint to keep several superhero characters looking like they’re doing something, even though its a “talking head” page. Most of the artists didn’t like doing team books for that reason. (especially when the pay was the same.)
Paste is being Paste, so that’s covered 🙂
wow…great illustration….even without knowing what is going on you would get a clue of what is going on!! Kudos!!
given all the craziness it would be safer for paste to keep the power off unless he rigged the fuse box to emit a pulse and take every one out at last.
So Lowell might end up crossing paths with Bluto and they become fast buds and be forever housemates?
This would be even more hilarious if it was a movie or TV show. xD
