In case you missed the news, the July 4th weekend has been ruled at the box office by Spider-Man: Far From Home, sequel to the 2017 blockbuster that introduced everyone’s favorite friendly, neighborhood web-slinger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker and his wall-crawling alter ego, alongside Marisa Tomei as the…well, the sexiest Aunt May to ever appear on film. Set after the last two Avengers movie (Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame), it concerns how Peter deals with the aftereffects of that mega-event, introduces one of his old comic-book villains, Mysterio (played by Jake Gyllenhal), and sets the stage for Marvel’s next slate of films. It’s a really good movie (of course we’ve seen it!), and considering it’s already made a half-billion dollars worldwide, it’s obvious that Marvel Studios has another major winner on their hands.
Well, if superheroes are your thing, you might be interested in a couple of our titles…
Heroines and Heroes: A free digital comic book that collects stories (and a few pinups) that I’ve drawn over the years, featuring mainstream and indie comic characters that include the superheroic Blonde Avenger, the anthropomorphic Motorbike Puppies, the half-human/half-rabbit superspy Snowbuni, and my “legendary” Wonder Woman-meets-Harley Quinn three-page tale that was meant to be my entrée to fame and fortune as a DC Comics artist (it didn’t work out, though).
Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings is a graphic novel about a group of supernatural-superheroes-for-hire taking on their first case. The team consists of a wizard, a female ninja, a sorceress, a werewolf, and a rock ’n’ roll lighting designer wearing high-tech armor. Sure, they might not be on a power level with the Avengers or Justice League of America—they’re more like superpowered Ghostbusters—but they get the job done. The graphic novel is written by the husband-and-white team of Richard C. White (Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination, For a Few Gold Pieces More) and Joni M. White, and illustrated by Reggie Golden and Randy Zimmerman.
Troubleshooters, Incorporated is available in print and digital formats. Heroines and Heroes is a digital exclusive. Visit their respective product pages for ordering information, as well as sample pages.
