Some people have asked why Max went to a bar, basically a singles bar, if she doesn't want to get hit on. Well, her lack of inexperience in this area means she also lacks creativity. And it's not like she[...] Read the rest of this entry...

When I had originally envisioned the comic, I'd sort of planned on trying to go the Mega Dragon and Tiger" route with the art. That is, do simpler flat art for much of the comic, with the occasional glamor shot"[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Max is supposed to be more attractive than I can realistically draw her. Really, all the super women (and men) are, but for Max especially, she's at that constant problem for her both privately and professionally" level, which also would[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Maxima is good at taking hits, but is terrible at getting hit on. You can tell she's actively dreading it in that first panel. The first and third guy don't really deserve any consideration, IMO, but the second guy? I[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Yes, Maxima can metabolize an incredible amount of alcohol. So much for a low-key start to her evening. Max has literally never been an adult and looked inconspicuously human. She knows how they're supposed to act, but she's always been[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Max's problem with having a mundane evening is that her car has 700 horsepower and she's used to casually breaking the sound barrier, so yeah, she has a bit of a lead foot. Or whatever her foot is made of.[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I spent about 30 second deciding what kind of car Max has. It had to be something with a fair bit of horsepower, but nothing too froo-froo, so it kind of locked her into muscle cars, and the Shelby GT-500[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Max shouted the quiet part. But then, she’s the field leader of the U.S.’s Super team, so for all anyone getting lunch there knows, wormholes are a daily occurence. I’m not sure if the glare at the end there is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I like the super advanced alien tech being transferred via paper blueprint. It’s just an artistic shortcut, really. Actual alien data technology probably looks like a single slice of graphite from a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil. Something so ridiculously compact[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

To clarify from the prior page, Max isn’t necessarily on board with trying to loot Galytn technology from under Deus’s nose. But she’s in the room with her boss’s boss and there are already plans in existence, so she’s going[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I actually have no doubt that if you added a bunch of shit to chess, nearly every chess master would have a crying fit about it. At the time I was working on the page I couldn’t think of a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Maxima: YOU do NOT get to cast aspersions on Dabbler. That is MY JOB! Honestly, naming a baby Deus Superion is only slightly weirder than naming yourself Deus Superion. Like one of “those rap people.” BTW, that senator isn’t supposed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

From the people who brought you Goat Yoga… Seriously, how did Goat Yoga come about? It had to have been a bet, right? Someone had a line on a shitload of goats and bet his buddy who had a bunch[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney gets distracted by literally anything – 1:10 Sydney eats lunch and forgets she was training – 2:1 Sydney loses interest after getting a splinter – 3:1 Sydney hits a vital service line underground – 4:1 Sydney sends the wrecking[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I will post an updated version of Sydney’s skill web alongside a very near future page, when her recent purchases are actually covered. I just wanted to wrap this scene first. Sydney isn’t manic depressive, in fact most people would[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I am pretty bad about picking skills in RPGs, but I blame this on games these days as much as myself. In most games, if you want to really maximize your damage output, you have to spend a zillion levels[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Also heard through the bathroom door: Well, I got two hot ones burning a hole in my pocket. Just wish I knew what to do with them. This glowey web thing is weird. It’s neat how it spins like that.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The “clothing pressure lines” (I don’t know if there’s a more succinct term for that) can actually be part of the fun because they make the pictures look a lot more spontaneous, and a lot less like you were hanging[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

It’s usually considered a good thing to have a succubus in your friend circles. This assumes you have a high to excessive libido, and also that you want to sleep with the majority of your friends who are appropriately gendered[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

See? I didn’t forget that Sydney had glasses with a built in translator. >cough< So, panel 7, I almost added “CYBERNETIC EYE NOISES” as a nonomatopoeia, but honestly, I really wanted to also add “THAT WOULD DRIVE YOU CRAZY IF[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The next 22 minutes of the voice mail cover topics such as the weather in Senegal, how weird it is to see common American brands like Cheetos with French packaging, how much better “Belin Croustilles de Fromage” are, which are[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I would say Anvil should have known better, but it’s been a while since Sydney did any spicy food shenanigans. A long while, come to think of it. Sydney wasn’t going to drink it straight, either. If you missed it,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney uses “ADHD wall of text.” It’s super effective. Exactly what it’s effective at is another matter. I assume that most languages have acronyms. Not like, Chinese, probably. Or even Japanese for that matter. I know Japan knows what they[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Goon Squad literally has no skin in this game. Well… he’s flesh and blood until the dupe dies, then it turns into weird chalky stuff that eventually disintegrates into powder. And even though his dupes loses IQ points for every[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

“The Auger” is what they call the minigun with the bayonets on it. They used to call it “The Augur,” but explaining how “If you see someone pointing it at you, then portents of your future trend negative.” required too[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Introducing Chimyriad, at least formally. Do recall she’s a Patreon cameo, but she fills an important slot in Archon’s intelligence branch. It’s more of a twig, really, since Archon itself is really small, so they need everyone they can get.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sort of an anticlimactic end to this fight, admittedly. There is part of me that wants to do a OPM style rubble bonanza speed line fest, but this whole sequence feels like it’s getting a little long in the tooth[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Knocking people out in super brawls is usually handled via concussion. Concussions are wildly overused in most media, and in almost every instance, they wildly overestimate how easily people get knocked out. Sure, sometime people in TV shows or whatever[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Why would you not wear waterproof eyeliner? Honestly, I’m asking. Unless you’re about to film the kind of film that involves a lot of gagging, if you know what I mean. Maybe it’s easier to apply or something? But then[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I for one would play a superhero themed battle royale game. Let people chose three powers at the beginning, or let them select from a selection of pre-made heroes like a DOTA style game, and they fight through a big[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yes, SuperMassive calls his gravity balls “G-Spots,” because he’s just that rad. You know I’ve never thought about what Maxima’s hair might taste like until I drew this page. Of course, her hair isn’t hair, it’s like some sort of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Occasionally some of the characters (and me) remember that Archon is supposed to be a military organization. Maxima isn’t big on all of the rigorous discipline and marching up and down the square, but I’m fairly certain that generally one[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I thought about attributing Super Massive/Suck Hole’s speed to actual gravitational time dilation, but he’d need to be putting out a lot of gravity to for it to register as super speed. Like, if you’re standing or sitting, relativity is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

You can’t blame Varia for having second thoughts about checking out her gestalt interaction with Death Toll. Going from having no powers to absolutely wrecking the oppo like she is here, then back to nada. Not that touching DT is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Salesgirl: Hello and welcome to SuperMart, how can I help you? Maxima: Yes, I need a hair tie that can withstand at least 300 gravities. Salesgirl: I see. Can your hair withstand 300 gravities? Maxima: It can. Salesgirl: Goodness. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

“Once I enter, I’ll want a distraction.” “I could increase my mass, fall through the floor and destroy whatever’s underneath.” “That’s always your suggestion.” “And you contribution is to be gold and punch things. We all have our niches.” “Touché?”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I haven’t actually decided, but I think this guy might be trying to impress/seduce Max? He’s definitely planning on fighting her, but I’m leaning toward this guy being just a little too impressed with himself and thinking “While I’m proving[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I, too, am disappointed in Varia’s… I don’t know, ethics? Honestly the very first draft of this scene in my head went down a very different way. I won’t say what that was, cause this probably isn’t the last time[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Will they unleash a superpowered supernova? Merge into a Tyrant type creature? Or will Varia just attain the ability to come up with dumb pun supranyms? That one would be less useful than Bird Radar, cause I can think of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Usually when displaying your captured superheroines, you’re supposed to have them face-out. Maybe a plaque of some sort. And depending on the kind of comic it is, their spandex outfit will be placed on a mannequin next to the display,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The thing about portal travel over that distance would be the sudden change in the pollen profile. Suddenly discovering hitherto unknown allergies, and not gradually like on a road trip. One breath would be all the pollutants you’re used to,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Heh, okay, so a lot of you guys spotted For Whom The Death Tolls immediately on the last page. I mean, he wasn’t hiding, I guess I was banking on the fact that there’s a bunch of other people with[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Okay, there’s a lot of confusion regarding Varia’s powers in the comments. That’s fair, they’re not so straightforward. So, when she touches someone, Varia gets a power (or a power unlocks, no one is quite sure how it works). The[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

In order of desirable pretzel condiments: Gross ballpark nacho cheese. Yellow mustard. Yummy fondue made from cheese not designed to normally exist in a semi-liquid form. Alfredo sauce. Whole grain mustard. Whole grain mustard AND Alfredo sauce – Yum! There’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Happy The Day After Christmas! For some of us, that’s when we strike the tree and decorations and for some of us, that time is mid-March. As I recall we usually left that stuff up till… New Year’s Eve Eve?[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
