Howdy.
Hayesman here.
I know some may consider this spam, so I'll make it quick.  Rest assured, I
have some tasty fanfics in the works to make up for it, though.

A while back I asked for prereaders for a comic idea of mine.  You guys
were really helpful and I thank you all again.

Issue one of "They Armageddon Squad" (formerly "Conversations Among Super
Hereos you Never Ger to Hear")  is in the make.  I still have to redo some
art, and work out the paper work, but I will Publish this book, come hell
or high water.  Your first comic publication is always the toughest.

Anyway, while that's in red tape, I've scripted and thumbnailed issue two (
of at least 3).
It's a 10k text file.  I'll attach it to this for anyone who wants it.
(includes the last half of issue one)

You can get pictures and a summary of issue one at

And don't give me any flames about this being irrelevant.  This is what
fanfics are all about: Using our fandom to foster new creativity and
applying it.

In even more releveant news, I've joined the comic club at Rutgers.  It
produces a bi-weekly comics newspaper called "JOHN DOE".  Naturally, I used
this as a opportunity to have my own manga serial.  Because of space
constraint, I have only the equivilant of one comic page to do every two
weeks.  And believe me, I now have a NEW appreciation for manga and manga
artists.  Even with a horde of nameless assistants, there deadlines are
brutal.  Can you believe they produce 16-18 pages every week?  Of course,
they don't have PHYSICS lab.  

Anyway, I have a new website devoted to my new feature:

This work is completely original and in no way relates to my other comics.

BTW, does anyone know anything about MARVEL VS CAPCOM?
