Fancomics: The Secret behind the Boob Window, Spidekicks, and Academy Kids!

[auggie18]

It's still pretty much Thursday, right? (I know it's cool to post fancomics on other days, but still.)



I just wanted to do a thing with teen Peter and kid versions of some of the sidekicks he's had over the years. We've got (from left to right in the second panel): Alpha, then Arana/Spider-Girl, The Spectacular Spider-Kid/Steel Spider, the Fabulous Frog Man and of course, Venom. I'm sure I'm missing some, so feel free to fill me in. (I was gonna put Miles in, but he's not really a side-kick. He's his own hero.)

I would've put Steve and Tony and backgrounds in this, but I sorta don't like spending a lot of time on Super Family stuff. Sorry.






So, Marvel is doing an event in which they kill off all of the extra characters they accumulated during Avengers Academy. I'm pretty much just reminded of how quickly they shaved down the cast once Academy X ended. I don't have high hopes for a lot of these kids making it out alive.



There've been a lot of explanations for Power Girl's boob window over the years.

I just came up with a new one.

(A rejected name for this power was the Cleavage Cannon.)

So, that's about it. Hope you enjoyed that. Until next time.

The placement of your dialogue balloons in the third comic is a tad confusing, other than that, enjoyable as always.
I've actually had some ideas about Spidey's various sidekicks and proteges. Ideally I think, were their ever to be another MC2-style experiment these characters would have grown into a proper group of superheroes defending Manhattan. I actually did some character designs for Steel Spider, and am deeply ashamed of myself for doing so. Sadly, characters like this never actually get to grow into proper heroes so they'll be stuck in forgotten sidekick limbo forever it seems. Damn did I have a good concept for these little buggers though.

Well, the next female superhero I create will have laser nipples now, thanks to you. I hope you're darn well proud. :P

She will fly on in aura of light and shoot lasers, and her name shall be Aureolaser... and it will be three weeks into her heroic career before someone explains the problem inherent in her name...

Boob lazer!

I'm sorry, but that Avengers Academy-themed one is just... Such a kick in the teeth. I'm not saying it's bad, but.. Ugh. It just reminds me of how much I know I'm going to hate that book; Even if no-one dies, I'm still just going to hate it. It's completely irrational, but.. Just ugh. I'll happily spend what money I have on Young Avengers.

Motto. I'm still pissed at how the X-Kids were -- hell, ARE -- being treated.

[mrstatham]

Yeah. I really don't like that we basically got the New X-Men replaced by firstly, a bunch of less-interesting kids (seriously, did anyone actually like Young X-Men as a book beyond the Dodson covers?) and then secondly, Little Miss Mind Control and her motley crew - who Marvel couldn't even be bothered to support for more than two years despite them being the next big thing. Yeah. Great stuff.

I think we should just thank our lucky stars Gage got to tell the story he wanted in AA.

welp... the lazer nipples is a thing now... i am pretty sure someone will pick it up....

i love that she says "BAM!"

lol really i can't tell y ou how funny that is. you should make a strip that features situations where she has to use her Nipple lazers :D
