In the upcoming Tales to Admonish II I’ll have a one-pager on the ruminations of Spidercide. Here’s a first look:

#inktober – Amazing Fantasy 15 NOIR
I was surprised amongst the myriad Amazing Fantasy 15 homages, cover rips, et al that there wasn’t a prominent example with Spider-Man Noir. I didn’t go digging through deviantART so I won’t claim to be the first, but here’s another entry for inktober. Sharpie, gel pen, and pen and ink (along with some post-production for the logos) and here we are. I think I’ll sell the original at the Portland Comic Expo, this Sunday, if anyone wants it.
Spider-Man Cake
My wife made me this amazing Spider-Man cake for my 30th birthday. Just because I’m grown up doesn’t mean I’m “a grown-up”. I love her. For Labor Day, I’m thinking a Machine Man turnover.
Marvel Animal Characters Profiled
I present to you the Marvel Animal characters from What The–? #13. All hail glorious Moo Knight and Arf Angel!
Nick Furry is a frightening concept for taking “cosplay” to a whole new level. Hogeye gets bonus points for eschewing the animal already in his normal name (“Hawk” eye?). Speedbull stands out by being a goofball (another Speedball parody name in its own right). The look on Punisheep’s face is stellar, though he can’t compare to Punfisher.
More on Spider-Ham and Marvel animal characters will be coming soon!
WIP Episode 23 – Victor’s Secret (Wars)
The What If Podcast returns to discuss Secret Wars of all ilks, but past (1984) and present as the Marvel Multiverse converges into a super-Battleworld? What?! Meat Mittens, Spider-Man’s symbiote, Black Bolt’s racist rants, and Dr. Doom stealing The Beyonder’s power.
Fan Art Friday – Spider-Boy 2099
Here’s a quick study in coloring on the Amazing Amalgam, Spider-Boy 2099! What started out as a light pencil sketch didn’t scan too well, so some Sharpie and Pixlr gave it some color as I play with shading. I think I might do a couple more colors of the same sketch.
If you’re wondering what Spider-Boy 2099 is, check it out here. An alternate future of a meta-fiction crossover of Spider-Man and Superboy from 1997? Sign me up!
What if there was a What If? Amazing Spider-Man?
As the preeminent super-fan of Marvel’s What If? series, I was piqued by a text from Andrew The Giant about a recent What If release. Turns out it was just the TPB of the Age of Ultron What If from April. However, while looking it up I found this on Marvel’s website:
The “What If Amazing Spider-Man” link was broken, but it got me looking. I couldn’t find any releases about solicitations/future releases for a What If Amazing Spider-Man. Could Marvel be planning another What If one-shot, this based on the end of Superior Spider-Man? I imagine the easiest What If would be to ask “What If Dr. Octopus remained in control of Peter Parker?” Are there any other ideas out there, ones that could stretch this to a multi-part set of one-offs, as Marvel’s prone to do with What If’s recently?
Pork Grind 15.88 (Venom 2099)
A quick little pen and pencil drawing I did for Pork Grind 15.88, a combination of Spider-Ham 15.88 (seen here in zombie form), and Venom 2099 (a character I am exploring over at GiantSizeComicThings.com)
WIP Episode 7 Age of Ultron 2 – Iron Man on YouTube

Zombie Spider-Ham 15.88
What a free Sunday afternoon equates to. Sure, there’s Zombie Spider-Ham already, but what about his 2099 (or $15.88) counterpart? It needed to be done.
