I'm glad you like it. I actually choose that word purposefully. Being scared by broken glass seemed more superficial than superstitious. His mood was different that night.
This is hilarious! Those superheroes sure are random: allowing a single event to effect the entire rest of their career. Ant-Man could have been Giant-Blade-of-Grass-Man. Green Lantern could have been Power Ring. Beast could have been Blue Guy. Wolverine could have been Claws. Sub-Mariner could have been Skimpy Trunks. Now you've set me off! The list goes on. What FUN!
I just discovered your work and can't get enough of it. (I especially love this one and the Superman/bullet strip.) After seeing this post, I think you might enjoy my brother's comic at http://www.th3rdworld.com/web-comic/The-SuperFogeys/episode/SuperFogeys-Origins-The-Money-Man-Pg2.
Brilliant! But, urge to nitpick rising... it's "superstitious, cowardly lot," not superficial. This is great stuff though!

Ah, that makes it even better. I should have known you wouldn't mangle a catchphrase!

Power Ring was an alternate universe (villain) Green Lantern, I believe!
ReplyDeleteMasterpiece
ReplyDeleteLove it! That window scene is a source of endless variation, isn't it? Here's one I did a few years back:
ReplyDeleteWhat If? An Alternate Origin of Batman!
Enjoy!
