Discuss Comic Pages / Issue 2 - Party Like It's 198X - Page 34 - Evil Awakens

And finally, issue 2 is a wrap! Well, mostly. Jessica is now going to go through and spruce up the pages that were rushed out. Mostly adding in background elements.
We're going to go on a break before we launch issue 3. Actually, it's not really going to be a break at all, at least for us. I'll go more into detail about this with this week's blog post.

And now finally we reveal Eddie is his full Satan Ninja form. The idea of his physical appearance changing when he's in his Satan Ninja form is something we considered for a long time, but didn't finally settle on doing until perhaps six months or so ago.
It might not be entirely obvious due to the page's lighting, but Eddie's hair turns black and gets a bit longer while at the same time becoming more of a feathered cut. His chops grow a bit, his eyebrows get slightly bushier, his eyes turn red, and he gets more buff.

When we launched this comic back at the start of last March, this moment seemed so far off, like an unattainable pentastar on the horizon, distantly flickering with hellfire. But now here we are. Eddie McCarthy has finally been satan ninjafied.
I could understand if someone were annoyed that it took us over fifty pages to get to this point, but like I said before, we wanted to give the story the time it needed to develop properly, instead of rushing things. I (very) briefly considered having Eddie find the glove right after the front-yard scuffle (the winged ninja would have dropped it in his back yard instead of in the woods), but that wouldn't have had nearly the same impact without Eddie suffering through the party scene. Hopefully you agree that we made the right choice.
Two pages to go and issue 2 is a wrap. Well, sorta. Jessica's then going to take a week or two to go through the issue and spruce up the rougher areas (and finally put in Eddie's poor neglected posters).

You can't see it all that well in this shot, but that Demon Hammer album cover is awesome. Jessica intends to do a full color version, but we made it black and white for now so that we could post the page up without delaying it further. Once she gets a chance to finish the full-color version, we'll be sure to post it for your viewing pleasure.
On a similar note, the posters are still being worked on. For now Eddie's room'll just have to look like a barren jail cell.

I believe there are only three pages left of issue two. I originally thought it might end up being twice the size of issue one, but not quite.
I spent a lot of time this week designing floor plans for Eddie's house, so we could stay consistent and to serve as a reference tool for Jessica. Maybe I'll post the floor plans in a short blog post this coming week (I've also got a movie review I'll be posting).
Man, I love Ninja Commander's design. Such an '80s Saturday morning cartoon villain.
As soon as I suggested to Jessica that we give Ninja Commander's goat a name, the first thing to pop into her head was Baphopet. So credit goes to her for that perfect name. I think she also came up with the parody video game name Ninja Guy Ben, but I'm not certain.

This is kind of our Bilbo finding the one ring moment.
The woods are actually darker than they appear, but it's illuminated a bit for the sake of the reader. That's why Eddie doesn't notice the ninja corpse he tripped over. Plus his vision is shit without his glasses and he's got those crybaby tears to deal with.
Getting real close to wrapping up issue 2 now...

If you're wondering what happened to the rest of the party, they're all in the house doing more blow. Of course.
At first we had Veronica responding to Ryan's comment with "As if!" However, it seems a lot of people strongly associate that particular valley girl speak with the mid-nineties due to the movie Clueless, so we thought it'd be better to go with the more '80s "I'm so sure!"
