Featuring legendary Characters from Edgar Rice Burroughs like Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Victory Harben, Deja Thoris and well known World Legends like Cthulhu, Zeus, Zorro, Leonidas, and many others - there's something for everyone!

Fully funded within 10 minutes of launch yesterday evening, the Kickstarter is running for the next 30 days!  This may be the only printing so get in while you can!

We have also licensed Top Cow with characters like Witchblade and Darkness returning to the OverPower Universe!  That set will launch in brick and mortar stores in 2025 . . . and we have a 3rd IP ready to announce that will blow your mind!

I look forward to seeing it.  A character version would fit right into his location, as technically he IS a Doom Patrol member.

8/13/24 - I also added 5 more locations: Checkmate HQ, Egypt, Iceberg Lounge, Land Of The Damned, & Planet Krypton (the restaurant, not home of the Supes)

they can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/justaopfan/gallery/64521128/miscellaneous-dc

9/21/24 - added 4 characters (Monsieur Mallah, Nightmaster, Nightshade, & Solovar) and 3 locations (Evil Institute, Gorilla City Prime, & Oblivion Bar)

10/20  So many views, so few comments.

1/1/2025 - Happy New Year!  added Requiem (variant of Artemis, no specials), InterCEPT, Supermen Of America, Gangbuster, Rampage, and Simyan & Mokkari.

Very interested in Danny the Street. I was actually gonna make him as a dual Homebase/Character for a set I'm planning in the near future.

I decided on the 2 Missions - both are inter-connected.
First. I went with The Rise Of The Third Army, a crossover between Green Lantern Vol 5, Green Lantern Corps Vol 3. Red Lanterns, and Green Lantern New Guardians.  (Includes 6 Events based on the story.)



Which lead me to another Mission, that I titled "The Ring Masters".  (Considering that "Lord of the Rings" was already taken by Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien.)  Consider it Kyle Rayner's journey through the rings.  (Includes 7 Events, 1 of which is a duplicate of the Rise Of The Third Army.)



You can find the cards here: https://www.deviantart.com/justaopfan/gallery/64521128/miscellaneous-dc.

Some of my favorite non-super hero comics are Y the Last Man, American Virgin, and Sandman.

Pepe Larraz, Dan Mora, Tula Lotay, Carlos Gomez (his X-Terminators run with Leah Williams would have sent me flying to the shelves as a preteen boy! It did now!), and Zoe Thorogood are all top for me right now.

I really like the Max Fiumara on the Sacrificers, Mattia De Iulis on the Cull, Maria Llovet. I haven't read the Lovesick yet, but everything I've seen from Luana Vecchio is insane. Martin Morazzo and Chris O' Halloran on Ice Cream Man are unbeatable.

I haven't seen them on a ton of interiors, but Jen Bartel and Kevin Wada have done great cover work, especially for She-Hulk. And I can't mention cover artists and skip over Dave McKean.

For manga, I love Q Hayashida (Dai Dark, Dorohedoro), Taiyo Matsumoto (No. 5), and Naoki Urosawa (Pluto, 20th Century Boys).

Finally, my all time faves are Bill Sinkiewicz, Chris Bachalo, and (maybe somewhat of a surprise given the inclinations of the others named) but Alex Ross is at the absolute top of the heap. His Superman makes you believe a man can fly!

Yeah, the Preacher is my favorite comic series of all time. I've read it over and over and suggest it to everyone. I think it strikes a good balance of critique and appreciation of American culture, and, despite (because of?) all the scat and smut, has such a beautiful and hopeful heart at its core.

I wish the same could be said about the Boys...

I've never read Transmetropolitan, but it's always been on my list.

So awhile back I decided to make DC versions of all the Teamwork cards that were missing. I don't believer I've shared them here yet. Here is a link to them.

I also did some DC versions of the grid altering artifacts that are here.

Quote from: fennshysa on June 17, 2024, 12:13:24 PMHe had a pretty important tenure on Hulk, no? That stuff didn't quite hit for ya?

I've read some of his Hulk stuff. Wasn't really a fan. He did write the original Spider-Man 2099 right? That was good. I collected a lot of the 2099 stuff when it came out. I mostly only liked the Doom and Spider-Man titles. That's worth a re-read sometime though.

Doom 2099 is head and shoulders above the rest, but I love the overall esthetic of the world and how every day we get closer to marvel 2099 just being real life.
