One of the interesting things to note about Rebels over its four seasons has been the way its slowly. This happens so often in superhero comics that both The DCU and Marvel have their own sections on the Dork Age page. The DCU has been a prime example since the 1980s. We here at io9 take clown safety very seriously, so we wanted to familiarize everyone with a how to differentiate between harmless human clowns and their much more. Stellar service, and the best selection of comic books, graphic novels, games, and toys Your best memories are here at ECDraw Its been of a break for me here on the blog for a little while now, but life or my artistic life certainly has never slowed down. Doing the two strips, Judge Parker and The Phantom keeps me busy with the boiler at full steam six sometimes seven days a week, as well as teaching my illustration class at PAFA in the After School Program. I enjoy working with these budding, young, talented and motivated artists It also gives me a window into the young growing minds in the world of today, their tastes and knowledge and how they see the world of comics and art life. Suffice to say they see the world in some ways fundamentally different than I did at their age. Some hard working students taking their thumbnails to the first rough stage. More changes will be made from here and another round will happen before the final comp and color comp. I believe in working on tracing paper and avoiding the digital for the developing student in the beginning to worksee the piece as a whole. Working digital often means detail over unity for the developing artist. Some recent Phantom work, pencils and some Judge Parker strips as well. A lot of it has to do with tech, but also what they are exposed to in the run of everyday life. But one thing is the same for many the dream of becoming an artistThe opening scene shows a mutant by the name of Nightcrawler attempting an assassination of the. Hello Im Mike Manley, welcome to my studio Blog. I am veteran comic and animation artist and I created and edit Draw Magazine. This blog is a chronicle of whats. The Transformers comic by Marvel was the first and arguably the best known Transformers comic. Although it was originally intended to be a 4issue limited series, it. Captain Marvel, also known as Shazam z m, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Artist C. C. Beck and. This is where I come in and try to shine the light on the paths to take to get to the dream if they are willing to seriously work for it. Watching some students grow over the years is the best thing I think you can experience as a teacher. I have also recently hired an assistant whos right now organizing my comic art and will move on through my paintings, files and eventually my comics as I organize and thin the heard here. Im certainly if anything mid career as they say and I just have too much stuff, it happens to every artist I know. So at a certain point it either is an asset or a burden. I saw that when I was in Al Williamsons studio he had an amazing collection to be sure, not only of his work but the work of others, the greats and strips clipped, stats, man, you name it. But at some point it went over the top and it was at point very unorganized and a burden that he both loved but worried about. So I figure time to make this art pile organized so its an asset, especially for teaching and my own enjoyment. This also means lots of old tech is getting tossed too old computers, scanners, printers ughI am close to setting up my painting studio at home which will be separate from my drawing or comics studio. Im taking the bedroom that has the best light, both north and west and will make that a separate place than my drawing studio where I do comics. I will be able to control the light better and even have models in. I have also been thinking about changing direction in what I paint and of doing a book of my pen and ink drawings. Im thinking about doing paintings more along the line of the Inktober pieces and not pushing the landscapes as much. I sort of feel the Plien Air thing is a bit crowded and what I want to do the urban thing isnt so appreciated around here. Its also the allocation of time vs return. I have stacks of landscape paintings and love doing them, but maybe less of that and more of the other paintings is where I will go for a while. I entered a lot of PA shows last year and was declined by most so that money might be better spent on fixing the studio and doing new work. I am also not big on competitions and want to paint what I find interesting. Im maybe more conscious of time now with the strips eating up the bulk of my time in the work week as well as the changing gallery situation here in Philly. I am also planning a limited enrollment on line class for sometime this year. Maybe 1. 0 students or less to start, and I am not looking to teach beginners or those with a lot of basic drawing problems, that would be a separate type of class,  so I will require a portfolio submission. This way I get students strong enough to take the info and build on it. One thing I am very set on now is that advancement  in art really must be based on ability. If the students struggles with basic drawings issues, those must be tackled and proficiency achieved in order to advance. The way most schools tend to run is that unless the student really flub a class, they go to the next year. But I believe now more than ever that advancement should only come with displayed ability otherwise the student moves toward graduation without the skills they must have to get work. Im begging my third story arc on The Phantom and Im three weeks in. Its been great working with the writer Tony De Paul in the past year. The stories are not only well written and fun to draw but hes the best writer I have ever worked with as far as helping with reference. Thats a big deal on an 8. The next story is about a vision Old Man Mozz has about the Phantom and one that isnt good. I wont say any more but it will maybe be the best story Ive worked on so far and will have many long time Phantom fans on the edge of their seat. We are also wrapping up the SophieBandKidnapping story up in Judge Parker. The story went in a way I did not plan when I sent the original plot to the last writer Woody Wilson before he retired mid way through, and its twisted and turned a lot with the new writer Francesco Marciuliano. In recent weeks Im contributing more now to the active plotting than before and I am now the one with the most knowledge and history of the strip, as I enter what is now my 7th year on the strip. The weight of these continuity strips his a heavy one. For instance in this story there is a visit to the grave site of Needys and Sophies Grandfather, Ezra, who passed in 2. Windows Backup File Restore 5 2 Exercise. JP time. I dont even have access myself to all the strips history but can have the syndicate send me weeks of something if I need it. Now we have never been very accurate time wise on the strips for obvious reason. All continuity strips play fast and loose with time. If Sophie was 9 1. Neddy 3 4 years older wold be 3. Sam and Abbey would be on SSI. But nobody ages in strips, even the Phantom would be 1. But in order to accurately draw the strip continuity wise I cant leave off the date on Ezras grave as it was drawn on there by Harold Ledoux. That was established and is cannon as they say. Thus the conundrum So since I figure maybe its 2. Sophie can s till be 1. This is where the strips must break with reality as stories advance time in only one way strip time not real time. Under Wilson there was never a Christmas strip with the characters, which we have introduced now, nor a change of seasons which I have introduced as well. The strips inch along year wise and many readers who are used to the way TV and movies work want time in the strips to run just as fast but they never have or just about all the continuity strips would either have to take place in the nursing home or the principle characters would even be dead Peter Parker would at least be in his 7. Web Snappers indeed I think the plan on the next JP storyline is to wrap up the missing and pregnant April Bower as well as her father and that will finally rest the long outstanding plot issues from Wilsons run. OK, back to the Skull CaveTransformers comics Wikipedia. There have been three main publishers of the comic book series bearing the name Transformers based on the toy lines of the same name. The first series was produced by Marvel Comics from 1. This was followed by a second volume titled Transformers Generation 2, which ran for 1.

The cover of issue 3 shows that the original mini series was in the same continuity as Marvels Earth 6. This was soon forgotten, with hardly any references to non Transformers continuities left. The Transformers comic by Marvel was the first and arguably the best known Transformers comic. Although it was originally intended to be a 4 issue limited series, it expanded into an ongoing series, which ran for 8. The final cover read 8. Issues 51. 5, 1. Bob Budiansky, with Marvel UK writer Simon Furman taking over for the remainder of the comic. The comic did not attempt to follow the show and some elements and characters were completely absent, including Ultra Magnus, Springer, Arcee, and Metroplex. The comic started much the same as the show a crew crash landing the Ark on Earth in the distant past. They are befriended by Buster Witwicky. His brother Spike eventually joins the cause as Autobot leader when he became the head of commander Fortress Maximus. There occurs a considerable amount of fractioning and in fighting in both the Autobots and Decepticons. However, the series climax occurs when both sides, Autobots and Decepticons, form an uneasy peace to defend Cybertron from Unicron. A few of the early issues were reprinted by Marvel in a digest sized magazine called The Transformers Comics Magazine that ran 1. Marvel had also reprinted some of these early issues in 1. Transformers Collected Comics which ran 2 issues. In latter years, when various other companies were able to obtain the license for the Transformers, they were able to gain access to the Marvel series and reprinted a lot of the issues. From 2. 00. 1 to 2. Titan Books reprinted numerous Marvel issues in a series of 1. Years later they were able to do more reprints but only in the U. K market. 6IDW Publishing the current rights holders to the Transformers comic property reprinted numerous Marvel issues as well, as part of the Transformers Generations series that ran 1. Issues were also reprinted in The Transformers Magazine, that ran four issues9 in 2. IDW began publishing another new series of reprints called Transformers Classics. This six volume series started getting published in June 2. Meanwhile, a 1. 00 Penny Press Transformers Classics 1 mini edition was also published in June 2. Some issues were also reprinted in the hardcover book Transformers The Best Of Simon Furman in July 2. In March 2. 01. 4, the first issue of the series was reprinted as 1. Penny Press Transformers 11. In July 2. 01. 2, to prepare the new series Transformers Regeneration One which continued the Marvel series after 2. IDW Publishing released Transformers Regeneration One 1. Page Spectacular. This one shot reprinted issues 7. Marvel series. In August 2. IDW published the hardcover Transformers 3. Anniversary Collection. This deluxe book celebrated the 3. The Transformers franchise, and as such, many of the original Marvel books were reprinted. Marvel UKeditThe sister title in the UK, this series ran for 3. It was a weekly publication that spliced original stories into the continuity of the reprinted US issues, and was mostly written by Simon Furman. At the start, it had a more serious science fiction approach. Because of the weekly approach, the UK comic was able to flesh out characters and ideas more in the US comic, the Aerialbots and Stunticons are first shown having just been built and being given life by the Creation Matrix program, whereas the UK comic fleshed it out more and showed the two teams as being created out of new technology created by Shockwave after scanning Buster Witwicky while he had the Matrix downloaded into his brain. Furman also tried to maintain continuity with The Transformers The Movie, and wrote several stories set in the future after the movies ending, as well as bringing characters from the future i. Galvatron into the present day. Due to his epic and mythological approach, he was highly praised and succeeded Bob Budiansky on the US title at issue 5. The mythic tone continued to influence Furmans work on the Dreamwave and IDW comics. Numerous issues and stories from this series would eventually be reprinted. Marvel UK themselves would reprint some stories in Transformers The Complete Works Part 1 and Part 2, Plague of the Insecticons and The Transformers Universe Vol. One. 1. 8In latter years reprints were done courtesy of Titan Books who published reprints in 1. When IDW Publishing acquired the licence to the property, they published various reprints in the hardcover book The Best Of Simon Furman and in the Best of UK Omnibus. Other reprints were featured in mini series collections such as Target 2. Dinobots 1 6, Space Pirates 1 5, Time Wars 1 5, City of Fear 1 5, and Prey 1 5. A new 8 volume reprint collection called Transformers Classics UK started getting released in October 2. G. I. Joe and The Transformers, Marvel, U. S., 1. 98. 7editA four issue limited series written by Michael Higgins,2. G. I. Joe and the Transformers teamed up the Transformers with the other popular Hasbro property of the 1. G. I. Joe. The Joes, the Autobots, and Cobra after being betrayed by the Decepticons must join forces to stop the Decepticons from activating an energy drill device to suck up energy from the Earths core, which would destroy the planet in the process. The story was hampered by continuity issues though the storyline was only referred to in the pages of the Transformers comics, as G. I. Joe writer Larry Hama opted to ignore the mini series, and the absence of several key characters from both franchises, including Cobra Commander, Optimus Prime, and Megatron, as the three characters were presumed dead at the time of the mini series publication. The story featured Bumblebee being destroyed by G. I. Joe forces and rebuilt as Goldbug. This plot point was ignored in the UK comic, where the story was not reprinted until much later in the comics run, and resulted in an alternate story being conceived to change the character into his Goldbug persona. Marvel UK also featured a crossover between these two properties. Ancient Relics began in Issue 1. UK comic and continued within issues 2. Action Force, the name given to the G.
