Thursday, Oct. 30 – Legacy Comics – New Man & Humants Pencils
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Welcome to Thursday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates!
The winner is! Well, it was the first time a World Series game was ever suspended halfway through only to be finished a couple days later. The Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays set up shop last night in the bottom of the 5th Inning to settle the unfinished business from Monday night. By 9 P.M. Central Time it was over. You know the outcome, Phillies 4, Rays 3. The Phillies are World Champions of Baseball! Not a big surprise I’m sure. I was really pulling for the Rays but it just wasn’t their time. Congratulations to the Phillies!
Legacy News: Freazie White, Jr. and I will be re-uniting over in Humants # 5 and 6 to finish up that saga in a similar way to what we are doing to wrap up Project: New Man with issue 4 of that series. It will be the first time Freazie and I have worked together on art in 16 years! He will not only be writing but also penciling the story which I will then greedily ink and letter! I’m looking for to that! First we have to let you read all of # 4 and then 20 pages of #5 before you get to the 2008 version of Humants. Of course we will still be in the 1992 storyline but that’s just to finish the current saga. We are talking about bringing back Humants in issue 7 with an all new story as well. Stay tuned!
Now, let’s switch over to the comics section!
Humants #3:
Here’s one of Christopher Torres first masterpieces for Legacy Comics. This is the penciled version which I later got to ink for the cover of Humants #4. I think this may have been a sample page Chris sent in with some sample New Man pages as well. You’ve already seen Christopher’s awesome pencils over in Project: New Man #3 & 4, right? If you haven’t seen them what are you waiting for? Click the link in the Menu Bar above and head on over to the PNM site! After our little visit here, of course.
I can’t say enough about the work Chris did for us. Not only was he great at doing the art and could tell a story with it, he was fast too. We wanted to really utilize his talents and would have if we had had the money to continue Legacy Comics back in the 90’s. But regardless of that we are here now! Maybe we’ll be able to track Christopher down soon. We just heard from Thomas O’Connor yesterday, so anything is possible! Heck! We might get a full fledged Legacy Comics Reunion going here! It could happen! 🙂
Coming up next: Our Next Issue preview page and the color back cover for issue #3 on Monday. Next Tuesday Humants # 4 will be begin!
Project New Man # 4:
Pencils are for page 14. As I go along on penciling these pages I’m really getting back into the groove. See, Freazie, I told you once you get back on that bike it all comes back to you!
Even though I created Cyber-Tech, he is one of my least favorite characters to pencil. Christopher Torres seemed to enjoy doing him and I think was better at it than I am. But this is the last time we see him for a while this issue so that won’t be a problem for another 10 pages or so.
Any questions of comments? All are welcome.
