Don’t interrupt Moll…
Have you heard of M-Day? It was started for the anniversary of the passing of Marvel editor Mark Gruenwald and arist Mike Wieringo, to encourage donations to the Hero Initiative.
I proudly list Mike as one of my biggest influences as an artist. His unabashedly fun and “cartoony” (I hate that term, but that’s what most people take away from it) work was some of the most distinctive stuff throughout the late 90′s/00′s. Personally, Seeing his art for the first time knocked it into my head that maybe I didn’t need to spend so much time trying to figure out how to crosshatch everything. Discovering that he was just one of the nicest people in the world (a big animal lover too!) just cemented the idea that this was a guy that I should try to be more like.
One of the most intimidating, yet thrilling moments of my career was filling in for Mike on a story at Oni with my writer pal, J. Torres. Mike was supposed to do a four page story for J’s Sidekicks series, but was only able to do two due to some Marvel commitments. I was picked because I knew J and everybody knew I was pretty much trying to copy Mike Wieringo’s style at the time… so I made for a good fill-in. I look back at those pages and think about how cool it was (after the wincing at how terrible my pages are in comparison- I just a hacky Mike W. wannabe), and how much Mike has had an effect on me.

“And some of them weren’t allies after all”?!
I bet on the old man; he’s only acting crazy. And didn’t one of the gang that stole Bryony recognize him? Hmm…
Nah, it’s Bryony herself. Catwulf is her *real* father! D:
… or the Battlepug. Would YOU trust something with a face like that? (You probably would, but that’s part of the trap!)
Sasha clearly could not be the traitor. Err, foil. Spy. Non-ally person. However you want to say it.
It can’t be the pug – he’s not smart enough to be a traitor.
Than again, he’s not smart enough to be an ally either…
Lots of questions come up…
I agree with Dave, there’s something shifty about him and the fantasy genre dictates that the crazy funny dude always has some sort of dark secret.
Also – a clue on the framing story, I can’t believe it. No doors…hm…and the dogs didn’t know about it…mysterious. Maybe Moll is a major plot point in the overall story, gah, I need to freeze myself, so I can wake up when the comic is finished and I can read it in one go, this is torture.
I’m most intrigued that Moll and the dogs are in a tower room with no doors. Stories within stories!
But the PUG will reach the end of the journey, right? RIGHT??
Y’know, Colfax is really a frenchie. I bet he farts a lot, too, because he hates Moll like that. Vicious beasties.
(nah, frenchies are great, but I really want to get a pug so my parents’ frenchie has a pal, just like Colfax and Mingo)
For days now it’s been really bothering me that there isn’t a door.
Personally I think it’s the idea. I imagine Moll is a prisoner or a concubine of sorts, which is why she’s naked and trapped in a tower.
But I guess we’ll get everything explained about Moll and the guys in time, if Mike decides it’s vital to the story :3
