Greetings! Thursday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are here!

Guess what? Not only are we getting some prices together on printing our comic mags so you not only have a digital copy to drool over but a cool hand held model to boot, we are also making plans for some posters, t-shirts and buttons. Heck, we might even do some mouse pads! Mice need somewhere comfy to sleep too, ya know.  We’ll have all the details soon, so don’t go away.

Okay, let’s see what we have in the ol’ digital comics bag for today:

Project New Man # 4:

See? Here he is! We didn’t lose him! Actually he’s been out waiting in a gas line to fill up the Fortress Foundation SUV for the past few hours. Had to pay $3.35 per gallon for gas and the full tank totaled nearly 70 bucks! Now he’s short of cash for his trip to Burger King and, boy, is he ticked! no wait, that was me. Sorry got a little confused.

This page was originally drawn in 1992 but inked just this week! I did the work, by the way. Freazie gave us a brand spanking new script to boot so the following pages are not only never before published but most of it is new material. So for those of you tired of hearing about the early nineties here’s something from 2008. Hmmm… I wonder how much gas was back in ‘92?

Okay, so New Man has found out that Nick and Fawn have been abducted by Ebenezer Baal, who has Bearcat locked up somewhere also and he doesn’t know where they could be. To say the least he’s a bit frustrated! So what do you do when you need to work off some steam and think outloud a bit? Well, Dave Davison goes to…ah but why not just head on over and see for yourself, web wayfarer!

Humants #3:

Scene switch! He’s a mystery even to himself. He has no memory of his past life. He doesn’t know if he had a family, a business, or maybe he was a homeless person. All he knows now is that he is The Herald, Adjudicator of the Khosmotic. To him that is enough, he spends very little time thinking about what has gone before. To say he is obsessed with his job would be an understatement! Yet, it is also not exactly accurate. He is what he is, he can be no other way, is his reasoning. He has a job to do and it is not a good idea to come between him and his mission! Right now he’s spotted someone whom he’s not seen before, another Humant! But is the other friend or foe?

Yep! You guessed it the main event of this issue, the smack down between the Herald and Chaosta is about to begin! You don’t want to miss this one, hombre!

Special note to my long time bro! Hey, Freazie! Remember this page? This is one you penciled during the ‘91 convention tour and I inked it. Brings back the memories, eh! The best is yet to come, pal!

Welcome! Friday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are ready to read!

See that thingamagig above? That’s one of our new features. Okay, we put it up a month or so ago and forgot to say anything about it. It’s called Featurific and it makes a slide show of the posts on this web site. To can watch it as it does it’s thing or you can click on the controls at the bottom of the Featurific window to pause it so you can read all that’s in the window or just admire the artwork or click the number of the post, form the newests to the oldest, to see your favorite. It’s more than just a cute gadget. Click on the frame with the post you want to see and it takes you to that post. Neat, huh?

Okay, let’s see what we have in the ol’ digital comics bag for today:

Project New Man # 4:

Dave, Chief Thunder and Kamikaze are figuring it out. They are very close to realizing just who Ebenezer Baal really is. And if they figure out who he is that might lead them to where he is. Or maybe Tom will locate one of Bearcat’s GPS homing signal devices. It’s one thing if one lacks the power to help, but very frustrating when one has the power to do something but lacks the means to accomplish it.

I had a great time when I originally drew these pages and I’ve been having fun inking them. I was trying to mimic Jim Lee, who was mimicking Art Adams, two of my favorite artists. I hope to be able to keep it up to finish this final chapter of The Haunted Man. Relax, we still have 24 more pages in this issue.

So what’s in store for Project: New Man after that? Well, what do you think? Should we continue the series? Right now the plan is to shelve the title for now, and maybe pick it up later. We will still have it online in the archives so anyone will still be able to read it even after the new material stops. Freazie and I still have some stories to tell of New Man, the Thunder Hawks, Fawn, Nick, Bearcat and the rest. We want to do a couple other books we have in mind first then, who knows? If Mega Maniacs are all in favor of it we’ll start Project: New Man #5. But we’ll wait and see, and like I said we still got time to think about it with 24 more pages in this issue.

Humants #3:

The Herald is not sure who or what this is he has discovered flying over the city. Could she be one of the Renegade Humants which Omnispawn spoke of after their first encounter with Mageddon? This one requires some watching. She had earlier detected him, but he has the ninja like ability to mask his whereabouts. She will only know of him again when he so chooses. Perhaps a confrontation will reveal who’s side she is on…

Sorry to leave you on that note, but that’s it for today. Don’t fret! We’ll be right back here Monday morning to see what ol’ grim face does and just how Chaosta reacts! ‘Til then…Have a nice weekend! Aloha!

Welcome to Monday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates! Ready? Let’s do it!

Hope you had a great weekend. Ours was enjoyable even though it was mostly work. In addition to working on comics, web sites and art assignments I’ve been working on my 9 year old son’s club house. I’ve been promising him we would finish it up before winter. We’re almost done now. Also I’ve been going through my old comics collection. I’m about to sell a about half of it on consignment at a friend’s comic shop in the next town. It’s a job cataloging all those books! Whew!

Anyhoo, enough of this frivolity! Now on to serious business: Today’s comics updates!

Project New Man # 4:

Nothing like demolishing a piece of exercise equipment to ease tensions, I always say. But during all this exercise Dave, Chief Thunder and Kamikaze worked out some things regarding the mystery of Ebenezer Baal. Dave, still haunted by his own dark past, especially at times of stress, has doubts if he really is a New Man or if he’s just a more powerful version of the old Killer Kane. Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, Tom brings news of latching onto one of Bearcat’s GPS Signals so now it’s time for some action!

Humants #3:

Ya know, I just noticed these are some of the pages of this issue I inked. I had to retouch a few before I could scan these. A few of our original pages had suffered some water damage while in storage. It’s amazing what you can do with PhotoShop these days. Yeah, they’re digitized now!

The Herald may have a tiger by the tail! He has tracked Chaosta and caught her by surprise. I love the reaction Freazie gave her in panel 5, she screams! Some super heroine, eh? I think Chaosta could be one of our most popular characters. She’s certainly one of my favorites regardless, but I digress. Anyway ol’ grim jaws, has bitten off more than he can..uh.. chew, it seems. Wonder if he can survive a fall from that high up? Gulp!

Welcome Back! Tuesday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are ready for you!

Whew! We survived another Monday! Mondays get a bad rep but in most cases it’s true. For me they are usually not so bad unless I have deadlines for Monday, which is often the case, and if I’m running behind. I have been behind where I would like to be for about 2 months, but somehow I’ve managed to make the deadlines. I knew this week was really going to be tight but I still thought I could pull it off. I hate being late! But I just have promised too much and it finally caught up with me. Even sleeping 3-4 hours so I can work more has not helped much. It’s just a case of too much work and not enough days in the week nor hours in the day to get it all done! Anyway all that was to say the Project: New Man update is running late today and it may even be tomorrow before I get it posted. I’ll try to get everything back on track this week. I apologize and just ask for your patience. Meanwhile our Humants updates continue as scheduled!

We are still a few days away from having some of the merchandise we have been teasing you with. It’s looking like we’ll have the buttons up first. After that it will possibly be the books or posters.

We’ve added a Pay Pal Donation Box in the sidebar for those who want to show your appreciation of the site.  Web Comics sites offering free comics are dependent on advertising proceeds and sales from merchandise to stay online and giving away the content for free. Some also take donations, but we’re not asking anyone for a donation, just making it available to those who wish to. You can think of it as a Tip Box if you prefer.

Okay, now you are up to date on the news so let’s dive into the ol’ digital comics bag!

Humants #3:

Yep! That’s what I figured. The Herald has stepped in it this time! Looks like he realized it right before he attacked her but for some reason his power could not detect it before hand. Maybe he sensed the kindred between them, and that she was not one of the predicted Renegades to come. Chaosta has similar powers to the Herald in some regards and her ferocity is on a level similar to his as well. So neither has a clear cut advantage over the other. Neither has it in them to back down in the least either so this could get very interesting!

Here we are already to Wednesday! The Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are already warmed up and waiting for you!

Wednesday, can you believe it! The week is slipping away fast.

The news for today is there won’t be Project: New Man #4 updates tomorrow or Friday, BUT Humants # 3 will update as planned both days. We’ll get back to the 5 day a week for Project: New Man #4 Monday and of course Humants # 3 as well. The reason is simple. We’ve gotten a little behind in several areas and since we are doing new pages now in Project: New Man #4 it has altered the amount of work we have to do daily considerably! So something had to give! MCG started in June, and really went off in a different direction than planned. We have posted 218 pages of comics plus 91 informational posts with graphics since then! That’s almost a years worth of posts for most web comics sites! 1 site has turned into 3 with plans for 2 more and we are still expanding! So hopefully if we take a little break on one strip right now we can avoid any interruptions in the future.  This is a good place to take a break oln New Man’s atory since this is the last poage of Chapter 10.I had hoped we could slow it all down just enough with taking weekends off to compensate but I really would have needed to have started that about a month earlier than I did for it to have had the desired success. So please bear with us a little longer.

In related news, Freazie and I have seriously been talking about continuing Project: New Man past issue 4, after a little hiatus. And if PNM goes on, could Humants be far behind. But it’s not final yet and there are some technical aspects that have to fall in place for us to do it, so stay tuned for updates.

Enough of that for now! Let’s crack open a couple hot off the virtual press digital comics! Ahhh…  I love that new comic smell!

Humants #3:

Ouch! Oooh! Yeow! Look out! I bet that will leave a mark! It’s clear to see The Herald has no reservations about hitting a female. Of course Chaosta doesn’t seem to have any qualms about giving it right back at him either! WOW! That’s some right cross Chaosta laid on The Herald in panel 3! Ol’ Grim Face seems to be holding back. Could it be he’s using his Khosmotic Powers to probe Chaosta’s mind in an attempt to determine if she really is one of the Renegade Humants which Ominspawn spoke of in issue 2?

Uh Oh, Chaosta! Watch out,  it looks like the Herald has an idea of how to prove once and for all if you are on his side or not. You don’t want to let The Herald use The Experience on you! Just ask Mageddon. We are talking major headaches!

Project New Man # 4:

Delayed from yesterday. Sorry again.

Dave, Chief Thunder and Kamikaze board one of the Fortress Foundation’s VTOL* Air Cars and head out for the abandoned Nuclear Facility where Tom has pinpointed Bearcat’s presence. At this point they can only assume that Fawn and Nick will be held in the same location as Emanuel.

The Fortress Foundation, a private sector, non-profit, philanthropic organization dedicated to public defense and scientific research is headquartered in the Moriah Building in New Harbour, a part of the Five Lakes Megalopolis. The Moriah Building consists of one large tower and 2 smaller towers to either side. The smaller towers each have helipads located on the roofs of the structures. Hangars for the Air Cars are located beneath the helipads accessible by sliding roof panels.

* VTOL: Vertical Landing and Take Off.

It’s Thursday! The Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are up!

Yeah, I know I said we would not have a Project: New Man update today but something unexpected occurred! WOW! Did it ever! Jay Piscopo of Capt’n Eli fame did us the honor of drawing an awesome piece of art just for the heck of it! As it turns out he’s a bit of a fan of Project: New Man. Jay shares a lot of my own interests in comics and classic hero characters like Doc Savage, the Fawcett Comics heroes like the original Captain Marvel, Hanna-Barbera’s Jonny Quest and lots of others. You can see the influences of those I just mentioned in this pin-up of Dave Davison A.K.A. New Man.

Jay Piscopo is the creator, writer and artist of Capt’n Eli’s adventures. Jay uses his computer to develop a unique style of combining 2D characters with 3D backgrounds much the way animation is done. Check out his web comic archives of some of the early adventures of Capt’n Eli at www.captneli.com.

These days, Jay oversees the promotion of a limited edition Graphic Novels featuring The Undersea Adventures of Capt’n Eli and his friends taken from the daily Web Comic which ran from 2006-early 2008. He still has the early adventures of Capt’n Eli on the web site and tons of great art! He also has a new Web Comic featuring Commander X in the works right now.

Jay seems to have an unlimited imagination as he draws on old legends and embellished them in a technique reminiscent of the daily adventure comic strip for a new audience. To those of us who remember the day, these neo-classic stories bring back the feeling of childhood adventure when your imagination could propel you anywhere and comics were less than a dollar.

But there is also the added experience of Capt’n Eli’s Soda! That’s right you can read a comic while sipping on any of 7 different flavors of Soda Pop. How’s that for remembering the good ol’ days!  The Mystery of the Sargasso Sea Graphic Novels #1 and 2 are available now! You can get  copies easily by clicking on our Amazon Shop in the Right Sidebar or go to Jay’s Capt’n Eli site, www.captneli.com where you can also order the bottles of pop!  So order the book and the soda and enjoy!

Humants #3:

Scene Switch! Again! Seems like I’ve seen these two in a movie. Anyway, it seems not everyone has forgotten our ol’ pal Scamp. The crime boss known as The Tower schemes along with his sycophant side kick, of whom we will learn more soon, on just how to capture Scamp and at the same time deal with the threat of the Humants. In the last panel on this page he get’s more than he bargained for! No, that ain’t Mary Poppins dropping by for tea!

It’s Friday! The Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are up!

Did you notice? We’ve added some poll questions at the bottom of the Left Side Bar. If you like take the short surveys and help us determine just who our wonderful group of web wayfarers are. It might not change what we are doing or how we are doing it but it would be nice to know and helpful mainly in knowing where to advertise. After all it’s not easy finding Mega Maniacs, they are an elite group who don’t just hang around low quality web sites!
