As I wrote yesterday, at the print shop I work for on my Day Job we are in the midst of doing High School Football Program Books of 75-150 pages each. Time is a premium for the next few weeks so I will have to keep it short.

On top of that we had the funeral of my Wife’s Grandmother yesterday. She was 85 and had a very good life. She was also our next door neighbor and will be missed greatly.  She was one of the nicest people I ever met and I never heard her say a bad word of any one. She always had an encouraging word for whoever she met. I knew her for more than 25 years.

Here’s page 1 of the Free Preview of Humants we passed out in the conventions and gave to retailers I showed you the cover of yesterday.

Today we have the debut of Humants #2. This issue was a landmark issue in my opinion. I thought Freazie and I turned in some of the best work we had done since our small press days. We learned a few things from the publication of the first two books with Legacy Comics and applied them to this issue.

This cover I did the pencils and inks on and Nathan Massengill did his usual extraordinary job of painting it in blazing color! Remember to click the images to see a larger views.

Working seven days a week can really disorient a fellow. Remember the old Dunkin Donuts commercial where the little guy that made the donuts was working such long hours he met himself at the door one morning? Yeah, I’m that guy.

Got another package of art from my pal Freazie the other day. I found this in it. Now, sometimes I don’t remember everything and that could be the case here. This seems to be a batch of New Humants Freazie has created surrounding Blaze, the Mediator. Maybe Freazie will enlighten us all on this one.

Humants #3: Omni Spawn meets with Janeta Rosebud and as a result, The Savage Chaosta makes her Humants debut!

Freazie White, Jr. once again does his usual great job penciling and scripting this issue. He had a plethora of inkers helping out with the art. Ralph Ellis Miley, who was one of our fraternity brothers from Alpha Omega, did lend a hand and brush. He’s someone you may see more work from in the coming months on other projects. Billy Leavell, while doing his usual legendary lettering, also assisted with some inking on a few pages as well. Freazie and I, Mark Poe, both did  a little inking as usual. I think Christopher Torres may have helped out on some of the backgrounds also, now that I look through the pages. I will have to check on that and add him to the credits if he did. In spite of all the helping hands this issue’s art actually comes off looking very uniform, that is, the style of art is consistent throughout the issue.

One last note on this page: That background with the wall of graffiti behind Omnispawn and Janeta, if my memory is correct, I did while we were sitting at the tables of one of the conventions we were guests with. I think some of the fans attending got their names enshrined on it!

Project New Man # 3: continues the epic battle between Cyber-Tech and New Man! Dave looks like he’s starting to lose ground to the fury of the mad cyborgs attack! But the battle isn’t over yet, The Thunder Hawks may be the cavalry charging to Dave’s rescue in this one! They will try anyway!

Tomorrow we’ll find out some more revelations concerning Cyber-Tech and his origin which will show he has strong ties to… Ah, let’s wait until then to find out. I don’t want to spoil the plot for you.

Right now in Humants #3: Page 2 is a great splash page Freazie did of Chaosta immediately after her empowerment through Khosmotic Renewal by Omnispawn.

This is another page I inked on our convention tour in the summer of 1991. I actually started it at Freazies house. Since we live several states apart, I had made the long drive up to Michigan and had the privilege of living with Freazie and his wife, Angela and the kids for about 6 weeks while we trekked all over the Northeastern States to one convention after another. We had some good times then! We did a lot of art, a lot of plotting and logged a lot of miles on my ol’ beat up ‘85 Chevy Cavalier!

And over in Project New Man # 3: When things look like they are darkest, that’s often when something happens to turn the tide. He’s heard that kind of thing all his life. At one time David “Killer” Kane would have mocked the chances of miraculous last minute saves. More likely, he would have acknowledged, if anything could go wrong it would! His Special Forces training in ‘Nam, allowed him to only trust in his own abilities and training, never on any one else and certainly not in anything remotely resembling hope or faith. But that was before David “Killer” Kane was transformed into New Man. Since that time he has lived in a state of amazing events he would never imagined in his wildest dreams!

Okay, I know I said today, but it’s really tomorrow we’ll find out some more revelations concerning Cyber-Tech and his origin which will show he has strong ties to… but that’s for tomorrow’s update. For real this time! Really. Sorry I jumped the gun yesterday.

No MCG, Project: New Man, or Humants updates this weekend. We’ve got some maintenance to do on the sites. Next week: we’ll wrap up Project: New Man #3 and get ready to start the conclusion to The Haunted Man in Project: New Man #4!

Project New Man # 3: So the battle between New Man and the Thunder Hawks with Cyber-Tech is over, and the mad cyborg is subdued thanks to the inventiveness of Emmanual Reyes, a.k.a. Bearcat, and Thomas “Tom Thumb” McBride, along with the resourcefulness of Jonathan Thunderstorm.

Ah, but that’s not the end of the story. Now we have learned some interesting clues to where the tech for the cyborg came from. It’s a link that will eventually have the paths of New Man and the Thunder Hawks cross with that of Omnispawn and the Humants! Check out today’s update to see what I’m talking about.

Humants #3: We met Janeta Rosebud last issue and right off the bat I’m sure you saw the same thing I did. She’s a bit of a rebel! But having met her Dad and sister last issue as well, it’s not hard to see why. Nothing is harder on the rebel than having a strong father who really cares for her, albeit with some selfish motives of his own, and tries to shelter her. In turn the father’s attitude just fuels her ambition to get out on her own and prove herself, to be as strong, as independent and in short to be just like the authority she’s rebelling against! Talk about a paradox!

So, okay, here we have little happy, go, lucky Janeta, the rebel, wanting desperately to have the power to stand up and prove herself, and suddenly, un-expectantly she has more than she ever dreamed possible! Whew! Hang on, folks, this could be a wild ride!

Have good weekend!

Welcome back! Glad you could join us again! Let’s see what’s happening in today’s comics updates!

Project New Man # 3:

Today’s page is the last of this chapter of The Haunted Man. Dave and the Thunder Hawks ponder Cyber-Tech’s links to Ebeneezer Baal and Devlin Robotics. It’s beginning to look like there is much more to this than New Man just tracking a clever crime lord.

We have a couple special pages and the back covers coming up then next week on to Project: New Man #4!

Humants #3:

Janeta Rosebud muses over the transformation she has experienced as she searches for the other Humants, who she has been told by Omnispawn to join up with.

In her efforts she is distracted and not being used to having super powers…well, hurry on over and check it out to see what happens to our newest Humant.

Well, we did not get as much done over the weekend as we had hoped. There were some things which came up that were not in the plan. So we adjust and move on. Hope yours went easier! But it’s a new week and so we begin again!

We may have to take off another weekend or 2 to get caught up. MCG usually updates 7 days a week, even though most other web comics only update 5 or 6 days every week. There is a lot of work in the background to maintain the sites and keep the new pages coming out regularly. We would like your comments on the frequency of the strip. Is 7 days a week just right, too much or GULP!…not enough? Let us know. You can leave a comment on this article or go to the Left Sidebar down to the Mega Comics Group Wall and leave a comment. If you had prefer to send us an email click on the MCG Contact link at the top of this page and use the form located on that page. We appreciate your support and look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome back again! Always good to have you with us! Time for Tuesday’s Legacy Comics Updates! Ready? Okay. Let’s go!

Project New Man # 3:

Here’s a single page adventure Nathan Massengill did for us back in the day. I showed a smaller version of this in on eof the earlier MCG Blogs. I don’t know what inspired it, but I’ve always liked this page showing our hero in a liesure setting. After what he just went through with Cyber-Tech that’s a big switch, and since I know what he’s about to go through it’s a small reprieve, to say the least. So let’s enjoy it while we can!

Of course this is not part of The Haunted Man story line but we had a couple extra slots to fill on this issue and I wanted you to see the larger size version of this page.

We have a special page for Christopher Torres pencils on slate for tomorrow, so don’t go away, it’s sure to be a nice treat as well! Then I’ll show you the inside back cover with a peek at next issue’s cover, also by Mr. Torres, and then the colorful back cover by our own Allan Lewis. Next Monday we’ll begin Project: New Man #4. I can hardly wait!

Humants #3:

Ah, now let us leave our newest Humant, Chaosta, and check in on those she searches so diligently for. We find them in a Renovated Warehouse which Magistar had managed to rent after pooling the three Khosmotic Warriors’ resources. They discussed doing this in Humants # 2. Remember?

Freazie did some nice one-on-one shots of Man Ark sparring with Sojourner here and we get a nice little bit of exposition on Sojourner’s origin. Now we know the reason for his name. I think Freazie did some nice dialogue here as well as some great pencils!

I think this is mostly Ralph’s and Christopher’ inks with a little background from me on 1 or 2 panels.

Over on the PNM and Humant’s Home Pages you will find an expanded version of the Mighty Mega Comics Group Checklist posted under the comics page. This can’t be seen if you only click on the images above, that action takes you to today’s post. But once there if you click on the Home Page Button in the Menu above the comic you will see what I’m talking about. This Checklist along with the Sidebar Checklist will help new and regular readers navigate to the comics linked in our sites a lot easier. So if this is your first time, those Checklist links will help you catch up. If you’re an old timer, the Checklists will help you go back to your favorite pages to re-read our heroes exploits. Enjoy!

Welcome to Wednesday’s addition of the Daily MCG Blogs and Comics!

Humants #3: Things might be getting out of hand with Man Ark and Sojourner’s little sparring match up. You know even when training the competition is high and emotions can get high as well. Magistar looks on with more than a little concern as it seems Sojourner might actually make a greasy spot on the wall of their new Warehouse Training Facility courtesy of Man Ark’s awesome super strength. Soujourner’s super powered martial art skills save his butt with a little help from those crazy cables he can project out of his armbands.

Freazie and Ralph did some great action scenes in this section with backgrounds by Chris and myself.

Project New Man # 3: I wish I could remember the details of how Christopher Torres came to us. We got a lot of submissions through the U.S. Mail. We also talked to a lot of new talent at the cons. When Freazie and I put our heads together we do good too get half a memory for such details between the two of us!

Christopher sent us two sample pages and we loved his work! His style was reminiscent of Jim Lee and Rob Liefield, the hot artists at Marvel in the early nineties. We needed help and so after a plotting session or two between Freazie and myself and with Chris, he was off to the races. It didn’t take him long to whip out 20 pages of tight pencils which you just got to read in this issue of Project: New Man #3 and he has more coming in #4.

Don’t be surprised if these turn up inked and dialogued as part of a New Man story soon! Maybe we’ll be fortunate enough to have some more work from him in the months ahead.

Welcome to Thursday’s dose of the Daily Mega Comics Updates!

Humants #3:

Ah, some more nice training scenes  from our ace penciler Freazie White, Jr. Take a bow, my friend. Great job!

As we did a page or so ago with Sojourner we get a little clue to why Man Ark was give his title by Omnispawn, as well as what exactly his power is.

Whew! Looks like Sojourner might be paying a bit more than we have to glean those bits of information! Here we sit in our comfy office chairs, behind a nice safe computer monitor, while he sweats out the details! Well, knowing the lad’s character I’m sure he’s glad to do it as a service to all mankind! Yeah…right!

Project New Man # 3:

Here we have the Inside Back Cover
