Classic Fred...

Based Spencer and Lieber

I love this book

Thanks OP.

Here's something I commissioned from Lieber in return.

>best comic on the market

Not even close. Not even Image's best.

Well, shit

>Looking at porn while talking to a person in a public area
Who the fuck would be that retarded?

One time I caught a guy jerking off to hentai on a computer in a library.

...

My fucking sides

It's bizarre and awesome to see an ad for a webcomic's print edition like this.

>that last panel

Fucking Josh, man.

...

Bump

How can it be the best comic on the market when it's not The Flinstones?

It's a close second though.

>this cover

nice

Did not see that coming.

whoops. i thought this would be about how HRC had the primary rigged against sanders. silly me

>yet another character giving a rant about millennials in a Spencer book
Not even surprised.

>Here's something I commissioned from Lieber in return.
We know, you post it in every thread.
Fucking symbiote fags

OK, this guy is great.

>Donovan outta fucking nowhere!
Favorite Image book right here.

BRAVO

I never got to go mini-golfing with my dog before she died. This isn't what I wanted from this book.

I do like the book's twists.

If Roy and Boomerang met, who would successfully fuck who over? Seriously though, a Fix/Superior Foes MAX one shot or mini would be amazing

Read bump

>Ryan Murphy-gets-an-Emmy bad
It's funny because Ryan Murphy is a hack!

Great as ever.

No Lieber this thread?

Looks comfy

Wonderful faces

Nice

No time this time. Maybe if the thread is still around tonight!

Bump for this

Fucking Donovan.

Hey Steve, if you're willing to answer questions, what game did you look at for the screenshot in ?

Who the fuck are you?

He's the writer for this book, Mike Mignola.

Love you steve, glad you come to Sup Forums

Alright, can we get dl links to the rest of the issues?

Aw shit! I love his work on Akira!

Bump.

Don't remember the name of the game, but I searched for it by looking for an open source fps, and grabbed the first screenshot I could find of stuff getting blown up.

This was me, btw. Forgot to enter my trip.

This cover's got the best reaction of any I've drawn since the one where the Sinister Six cosplayed as other villains. The concept just came from me fumbling for an idea: "Okay what do I want to say about these guys? They're a couple of fucking hotdogs. Oh wait…"

Autumnlands artist Benjamin Dewey posed for both Roy and Mac. Color artist Ryan Hill did a great job on it. I think he took three passes on the chilli they're lying in, trying to get it exactly right.

>b-but all those Autumnlands delays

Letterer/designer Nic Shaw made the choice to put Dead Elana on the indicia page opposite her memorial photo. Great call, taking an area that's usually just decorative at best and using it for storytelling.

Yeah the coloring is real good. I do like the increased attention being drawn to colorists lately.

It's always weird drawing a picture of a photograph in a comic. It can mess with the level of abstraction you're deploying. Depending on how much rendering and lighting you put in to make a photo look like a photo, the thing that's supposed to be 2-dimensional can wind up looking "realer" than the rest of the comic.

I'm super-lucky to be working with Ryan. He's a terrific all-around artist, so he knows how to use light on form, and he's great about controlling focus. Even in busy, cluttered panels, the choices he makes guarantee that the reader's eye is gonna go exactly where
It needs to know.

I was just saying to someone at a con last weekend- I usually don't like double page spreads. I was resistant when Nick asked for one in the 1st issue- Donovan's bath salt rampage- but I could see how the sequence worked better as a spread of a big unified clusterfuck than it would have as two separate pages. Same for issue 2's Los Angeles bro montage. Now those 2 page spreads have become part of the voice of the book, and I look forward to them every issue.

Had a blast with the body language in this sequence. And I was really happy in panel 4 when I noticed that Roy was pointing at his own severed head.

Need to get some sleep. If thread's still around tomorrow, will continue.
As always, picking the book up in hard copy is hugely appreciated. If you have a local shop, get it there! If not (and you're in the USA,) I have copies in my etsy shop:

I'd give it to Fred.

I picked this up today. One of the few pulls left on my list.

Always a joy seeing you around Steve.
What do you think about Sara Ryan's Wonder Woman "mansplaining" issue?

He's not going to answer that in a way you'd like.

Yeah looking at his twitter posts you can easily tell that much. And that maybe people should just use twitter professionally.

This is great.

...

I get why you're asking, but seriously: Is there really a need for one more discussion thread online where people on different sides of a political divide can snark at each other? I'd like to think that an occasional Chtistmas Day armistice is more interesting than another day of shelling in the trenches.

Haha, thanks man. Always appreciate you coming by. Getting the first trade for my birthday.

awwww shit yes, it comes with a Pretzels doodle? buying now

Steve, do you and Nick plan on doing multiple arcs or just one big story for The Fix? Also thanks for stopping by.

There'll be arcs, but it'll ultimately add up to one big twisty story.

Yep. Here's one I drew at Rose City Comic Con last week.

Fairnuff. It wasn't meant to spark any flamewars, I was genuinely curious. I admit it was a loaded question. It was just interesting for me since you seem to be the very opposite.

All good. Thanks!

Onward! I'm pretty sure that Roy actually would walk around a crime scene looking at porn, but only if it was, like, really good.

Panel 4: I left a lot of room to imply that whatever Roy is telling her, it's definitely a long, long story. Same reason for the shift to negative silhouette- something about using one with a static panel implies a longer time-lapse. Not sure if that's a universal perception, but it's how I see it.

In North by Northwest, Hitchcock did a similar thing. Cary Grant has to tell someone everything that's happened to him. Hitchcock walks them towards a airlane witha loud motor so you can't hear the conversation, then walks them back a few seconds later as they finish, concealing the fact that there's no way Grant could've told the guy everything in those few seconds of screentime.
