Thunderbolts ATTACK!





What a great book for Dec to debut on. The characters are all so different and visually strong that it's perfect for him to showcase his talent.

I originally wanted to do just Skull & Bones but I went with an action shot instead. Does Swamp Thing even kill people? I thought he was like Snuffaluffagus, just shambling around sniffing flowers. I squeezed Ghost into the background but I have no idea what her powers are so she's electrocuting a ninja. I'll colour it for next week.

Probably the only gripe I have with the comic is you automatically think of The Turtles when you see the team in the sewers and then the ninja clan are called The Hand instead of The Foot.

New page on my webcomic right now

I like that Crossbones is actually riding around on Man-Thing's back.

I was hoping you'd do Swamp Thing or Juggernaut. Great piece!

I think you're all brilliant artists but it's MAN-THING DAMN YOUR EYES!!!

Also, enjoying seeing readers Discover The Declan.

Crossbones...Swamp Thing...the names aren't important. The love is important.

Parker: Bob be playin' you like a fiddle, yo. He twisted like dat.

Bob Byrne said...

True that.

Just saw in Dec's issue that Swamp Man shoots fire out of his hands..or what?

And are the Hand just humans or do they have special powers?

Answers please.

heh, 'Skull and Bones'

It's like llistening to my mother talk about the T-Bolts.

Heck of an image Bobbo, love the fact that Skull and Bones is rising Swamp/Man/Plant-Thing into battle like a hog

I wouldn't worry about Bob thinking it's 'Swamp Thing' Jeff, he thought Crossbones was 'Skull-and-bone' and that Ghost is a girl.

Bob; This is FANTASTIC; I love it! My favourite of the week so far, and i really like all the stuff this week. Thanks man!

Hmmm. Might start calling myself 'The Declan'
