Happy April Fools' Day from Mind's Eye and Destruct-O-Tron!
To celebrate this most momentous of holidays, I'm proud to announce that there's a Super Haters digital comic
now available on ComiXology, that megalith near-monopoly of a digital comics storefront.
The $2.99 collection is called
Super Haters: Incredibly Irresponsible and it contains seven remixed and remastered Haters stories featuring the art of
Andrew Kilian,
Brandon Williams, E.D.,
Francisco Gruel,
Kaylie McDougal, Nils-Petter Norlin, and
Shawn Atkins. Plus we've got a cover by
Carrie Howarth!
The comic is formatted for ComiXology's panel-by-panel Guided View Native mode, which gave me the opportunity to chop things up and have some fun with the pacing. I think it creates a whole new rad reading experience for these seven tales and I hope you agree too!
Kid Raptor has
finally suited up, only to have his employers captured by the deadly Gutter Udder!!
That's all, folks!! I hope you've enjoyed this story that E.D. and I created for your webcomics pleasure. We had a ton of fun putting it together, not to mention a ton of fun talking about it for the latest Destruct-O-Cast podcast! Here it is:
In memory of Kid Raptor, E.D. and I share some of our own work horror stories... which are good, but they're nothing compared to your incredible employment nightmares that we read on this podcast!! Seriously, y'all have done some crazy shit on the job.
Anyway, thanks again to E.D., who really brought his A-game to this collbo. From piles of poop to the He-Rex flashback to the milk-spurting teatacles of Gutter Udder, E.D. made one hell of a tale come to life.
So what's in the future for Destruct-O-Tron and Mind's Eye?
Brandon Williams is my next featured artist and our webcomics are gonna knock your socks (and pants) clean off! The trailer for our five-page story drops on Monday, February 4th. See ya then!
EVIL APPROACHES! It's time for the Super Haters --
and Kid Raptor -- to roll out!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo!!! NOT GUTTER UDDER!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!
Anyway, E.D. and I recorded our Destruct-O-Cast podcast last night -- featuring your employment horror stories! -- and it was fucking intense. I think you're gonna love it :D
If you read yesterday's blog post, you may remember that I said I would have a preview of my three
PonyGasm songs today. Weeeeellllll... putting together the video and blog post for that is taking a bit longer than I expected. It'll be done in a few hours and I'll update this blog post with the link once it's complete.
EDIT, 2:40 EST: My PonyGasm blog post is live!! You can
click here to learn about the creation of the songs or
go straight to YouTube if you wanna skip the commentary and just hear the audio.
Be back here tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion of E.D. Guest Week! Can Kid Raptor save the day?!?!?
The new Super Haters sidekick has to do
a lot of shit work.
Literally.
FINALLY! We've revealed the name of the sidekick in the context of our story, so I can start using it to refer to him now --
Kid Raptor. I hated having to say "the Super Haters's new sidekick" over and over again!!
As I mentioned yesterday, E.D. and I are podcasting about this story tonight. We're going to share your employment nightmares on the episode. While we didn't get any work horror stories left by readers here on the blog, we got a
butt load on Facebook. And some of them are so wild that I can't even believe they've actually happened. It's gonna be a juicy podcast ;D
Something else special happened yesterday --
Kaylie McDougal launched an
Indiegogo campaign for her PonyGasm comic book. If you're a fan of Super Haters, I think you're going to love PonyGasm! It's a tongue-in-cheek erotic comic detailing a dream Kaylie had about hooking up with a giant toy pony. Ya know, "pony" as in "My Little." Also, as
Nik Furious, I recorded three PonyGasm theme songs!!! If you pledge enough $$$, you can snag your own mp3s of these instrumental grooves.
See you tomorrow as Kid Raptor suits up and leaps into action!
Mind's Eye has
hired a new sidekick for the Super Haters.
Ever have one of those jobs where you just get crapped on OVER and OVER and OVER?? A lot of people may not know this about me, but I've had quite a few jobs in my young lifetime -- pizza delivery guy, receptionist at a sports car dealership, video store clerk, copy center assistant, law firm marketer, dog treat sampler
(no, I didn't eat them -- I handed out samples), and many many more.
Basically, what I'm getting at is that I've had my fair share of bizarre tasks that I've been asked to tackle at work and I know E.D. has too. And we drew on our collective experiences to create this short story about interning for the Super Haters.
Have you ever had a weird, shitty job too?? What's the craziest thing your boss has asked you to do? WE WANNA KNOW!!
Tomorrow night, E.D. and I will be recording a new
Destruct-O-Cast podcast and we'd like to hear about the most horrendous things you've had to do on the job. Leave your story in the comments below OR call the AudioShocker podcast comment line at 412-567-7606. Let your employment pain entertain our listeners!
A new era begins! The cut-and-paste saga
has ended. Now the Super Haters live on through fantabulous
Guest Weeks.
HI!!! I'm psyched to be back here sharing new Super Haters webcomics with you. I'm kicking things off in the new year with a perfect example of our new status quo -- a fantastic Guest Week featuring E.D. of
Peculiar Comics.
I met E.D. at SPACE 2011, a small press comics show in Columbus, OH. He's an incredibly friendly guy and a terrific storyteller. And I'm thrilled to have the chance to collaborate with him!
He decided to use his kickass vector art style (just one of his many looks!) for our story and I'm glad he did. You can see more of his vector art and other fantastic styles in his
back issues. Also, make sure to follow Peculiar Comics on
Facebook,
Tumblr, and
Twitter.
See you tomorrow with the next installment of our
stupid spectacular story!!
The next era of Super Haters begins NOW with
this kickass trailer for my upcoming collaboration with E.D. of
Peculiar Comics:
The story is called
When Ya Comin' Back, Kid Raptor? and it begins next Monday, January 21st, 2013 in Super Haters #455 a.k.a. the spectacular start of
E.D. Guest Week!
E.D. is also the creator of this trailer, which is the first of many that you can expect to see here.
If you look over to the sidebar you'll notice that I've added a schedule to keep you abreast of the latest and greatest Super Haters happenings. You can also pop over to our
About page, where I've updated it to reflect the new status quo of the webcomic.
See you in one week with a kickass new short story featuring fantastic art by E.D. and a superbly sick script by yours truly!!
