Storm Vs Callisto in X-MEN #170 has to be one of the all-time great comic book fights. Its just three pages (two, really) but the buildup to it, the place it takes in Storm's character arc, Calliso's INCREDIBLE face there at the end -- it's a perfect piece of storytelling ?️?️ https://t.co/VDfZ4ZP6Mf 1

~Behind the scenes~ : An earlier Boilerplate sketch I felt wasn't quiiiite conveying the vibe I was after, as well as the pencils and inks for the version I eventually landed on. https://t.co/5jRgnPPPz6 3

As usual, Hagai totally picks up what I'm trying to lay down- I love superheroes as a combo subgenre + narrative device, but at its heart has to be the idea that "superhero" is something a character does (putting extraordinary abilities towards noble ends) not something they are. https://t.co/vSgZOvHGOs 3

I'm relatively sure all my editors are now asleep, so I feel comfortable admitting to you how much of my headspace is secretly dedicated to the beguiling world of TOOTH-PASTE & THE WIGGLER ?➿ 4

The Spider - "Master of Men" - is millionaire WWI veteran Richard Wentworth, a crack shot and master of disguise. He's assisted by a couple of old war buddies and his fiancée, Nita Van Sloan, who occasionally stands in as the Spider when he gets injured. 2

Found this in an old notebook: Albert, an artifact from a verrry early version of LAVENDER JACK where Ducky was married to the Bastrop Manor butler. Al wasn't in on the LJ operation, so he was constantly in his feelings over how much time his wife spent w/ the master of the house 3

But I still find it deeply interesting that for a brief moment in the middle of W's first term, when their respective voices were really starting to crystallize, Waid and Millar ended up writing the same book. More or less. 2

Both series play out among the all-powerful ruling class of villains who now run the world, with a conspiracy weaving through them that drives the bulk of the plot. Both feature a horny gun-slinging new recruit as a POV character - their initiations both have a dark, culty vibe 4

Today I read a comic about a pack of supervillains who killed off all the good guys and took over the world. My goodness. Who ever heard of such a thing? Here begins a thread on Mark Waid and Barry Kitson's EMPIRE & Mark Millar and JG Jones' WANTED 2

This week's warmup drawings were all super weird cuts and clear signs of my subconscious desire to alienate my followers: The Karkus and Zoe from classic DOCTOR WHO, a redraw of a Will Eisner SPIRIT panel, Lars von Trier's THE ELEMENT OF CRIME, and NBC's THE CAPE ♟ 4

The full first page of Umbrella Handles, from my Spirit artist's edition. It quotes Eisner: "This splash shows the influence the theater has on me... Good live staging will many times involve a guy walking on stage, finding something, and shocking the audience." 3

I did a redraw of this great panel from the 12/28/47 installment of Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT, 'Umbrella Handles' - half because I like the cop's face, and half because I, too, spent my morning shoveling thigh-high snow ❄️ 3
