Several months ago, I started working on a webcomic featuring one of my favorite co-creations, Mr. Massive. For those who don't know, Mr. Massive is a comedy about a 15-year-old boy who becomes a superhero and does really selfish and stupid things with his powers. It plays right into my sensibilities.
The opportunity to work on this came out of the blue, and I never really knew how long the wheels would keep turning. Eight strips and nine pages in, I'd say that this is probably all we'll get out of this concept. That's a shame, because I was really having fun with this. There's plenty more written (Mr. Massive even gets off the planet and into Universe Saving), but who knows if the accompanying art will ever surface.
Even so, it seems a crime to waste all of this work, incomplete as it is, so I'm posting the first nine pages of "Mr. Massive Saves the Universe!" for all to see and, perhaps, enjoy. Mr. Massive is, of course, co-created by Artboy_X, and he provided layouts for these pages. The only name I (frustratingly) got for the artist was "RJB"; I never spoke to him (her?) directly and to this day I don't know just who that person is or where he (she??) hails from. But the art is really energetic, simplistically cool and I enjoy the heck out of it. I wrote and lettered the thing.
These were originally supposed to be released one at a time, which is why there's a title and credit section on each strip (with the exception of the first, which was supposed to be released along with the second). Read these comics! And enjoy them!!!
