Welcome back! Tuesday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates await you!

We got the week started off right yesterday, so now let me fill you in on what happened over the weekend. We did the usual tweaks and revisions here and there on the site but most of the work for me was finishing up the plot and thumbnails sketches for Project: New Man # 4. That’s right, you see when Legacy Comics shut down due to lack of operating capital back in ’92 we did not get to finish The Haunted Man story line. We had plotted the ending but never got it down on paper. The plotting session was actually a long distance conversation between Freazie and myself. So my job over the past several days has been recalling that plot and getting it down on paper. It was about a week and a little change before I could get it all, but really it would not have taken that long if I could have done it all in one sitting. Laying out the pages went off like clockwork, and I was amazed at how it just seemed to flow! There was only 2 pages I had to go back and adjust because I had left out a scene. The first 2 chapters of issue 4 were complete back in the day, so we only have to finish the issue. Freazie has already handed in the first 3 pages of the script which you will see 2 of  the 3 this week. The pencils for those 3 pages were complete in ’92 as well, and I’m hard at work inking those now. It’s really great to be working on these characters again!

Oops! Time is getting away! More news tomorrow! Now onto our comics for today:

Project New Man # 4:

Nick and Fawn are still in route to her home. We get treated to some nice talking head shots by Christopher Torres on this page as Nick and Fawn chat.

Nick chastises Fawn a bit for starving herself in order to pay for the new gizmo she has purchased. he also gets onto her for working too much. She was suppose to be on vacation this week, but she keeps doing research on Project: New Man. The lady definitely seems to be a workaholic doesn’t she. I can relate!

Humants #3:

Mageddon after basically getting his butt kicked by the Khosmotic Warriors last issue takes out his frustrations on Lawthers. In typical super villain fare he makes his speeches about how the good guys will pay for having dared even look his way with anything than utmost respect. But as you look at the cool drawings by Freazie White, Jr. it’s easy to see Mageddon is not just your everyday super villain. He’s like a cross between Dracula and Darth Vader, both spooky and imposing at the same time! His costume is not all that fancy, it’s basic black. The Helmet is the most threatening part with that slit of a vior right in the middle. Reference to New Man is also coming up more frequently in the series amongst the different characters so it’s only a matter of time before we see a cross over between the 2 books. Mageddon seems to regard New Man a little differently than the Humants? Perhaps it’s just the mystery of not knowing what New Man is. Is he a Humant or something else? Could there be a forthcoming battle between New Man and Mageddon? Time will tell, web wayfarer! Stay tuned!

Salutations o’ Steadfast Ones! Wednesday’s Daily Mega Comics Group Updates are ready for your enjoyment!

Have you noticed? We have been making lot’s of little changes all over the site. We’ve added the Mighty Mega Checklist down the Left Sidebar to keep those back issues handy to refresh your memory, to check on our continuity or if you’re new, to get you up to date on the current story line! There is also an expanded edition of the Checklist on the home pages of Project: New Man and Humants. Also we have been working on the MCG Guidebook which gives you the lowdown on all our characters! Or at least it will once we finish it. You can see it now as a work in progress by clicking the link in the Menu Bar above. And that’s not all ! We’ve got a lot more in store before the year ends, and just wait until 2009! Like the guy sang back in the day, “B-b-b-baby, y-y-you just ain’t seen nothing yet!” 😉

Now without further ado, our comics for today:

Project New Man # 4:

A dog barks a couple doors down, a cat hisses at him and runs off.  A lawnmower in the distance shuts off as the evening mowing is concluded. Street lights are coming on as the sun peeks out one last time before passing slowly over the horizon. The sound of stereos and TV’s playing faintly at nearby neighbors can be heard. Kids finish playing in the street nearby as a mom calls them to dinner. Just an average evening in the ‘berbs of Municiple City. Nick and Fawn arrive at her house, in this tranquil little setting. The chitchat of two old friends meanders about.

What could the new discovery in Dave’s DNA which Fawn’s cryptically refers to could be. The guy has been transformed into a near perfect human specimen and obtained the ability harness a Unified Field putting the forces of Gravity, Electricity and Magnetism at his disposal. What more could there be? We’ll soon see, I suppose.

Ah, notice how uncomfortable Fawn is at the mention of Dave and her in the context of a relationship between them. Where could that be going?

Yes, everything is just completely normal, peaceful and quite until Fawn opens the door from her garage to the kitchen to find surprise guests!

Don’t you hate when that happens? I know I do! 😉

And lest you think we have forgotten whose book this really is, New Man makes the scene tomorrow!

Humants #3:

Whew! Talk about an economic crisis! Put yourself in poor ol’ Gregory Lawther’s place for a minute. Not only is he having to deal with keeping a huge business empire going while his boss is missing without a trace and no telling when he might return. Not only does he have to make up excuses for the aforementioned boss’s absence so as not to cause corporate panic at Devlin Robotics, Inc. No, that would not be bad enough, but he has to explain all this to the super powered maniac responsible for spiriting away his boss, Devlin Delano. And to top it all off he now learns even Mageddon, the villain himself, is not sure what happened to Devlin Delano! Geeze! And here I thought I was having a difficult week at the office!

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! 🙂
