I’ve been a fan of his since seeing his Spider-Man work, and today I offer up a piece from his original creation Bastion’s 7.

This month I finish my run on Spectacular Spider-Man Animated. 2 seasons flew by really quick. During the time off, until another season gets picked up, I’ll be working on my Bastion’s 7 property. I have been hungering to cut loose. After picking up books from my peers, and getting tips from my sensei, Jeff Johnson, I think I’m ready to do it up proper.

Sequentials scare the poop outta me. I guess what I fear the most is how to mend people with backgrounds, but I’m ready, willing, and hopefully able. hahaha

anyway, hope y’all digs!

For those of you who have been crying in your beer ever since the events of Brand New Day, can heave a sigh of releif as the webslinger and the hot model are back together again.

Wait, what!?

That’s right, True Believers, if you local paper (are there any of those left anymore) carries the Spider-Man comic strip, you saw Peter wake from a dream to discover he and Mary Jane are still hitched.  Check out the editor box for how it happened.

It’s too bad the real Spider-Man comic books can’t switch gears this easily.
