a sneak peek of a WIP page from my comic, and a line up of some characters :3

I'm working on superhero comic set in a cyberpunk Houston!

My MC is supposed to be the "straight man" in my comic, so he looks more plain. Do you think that's to a detriment? or does it work? I included some side characters and a comic page for comparison

Story summary:

>Being a sidekick in Neo Houston is 10% fighting spandex-clad maniacs, 90% wondering if you really should have gotten a normal 9-to-5. Meet Quickwit (aka Witty). He's got a lame name, a pinchy costume, and a power no other caped crusader can even dream of: common fucking sense. Immune to the "Clark Kent effect" and various other superhero tropes, Witty is the only person in the city who can tell that his new "number one fanboy," Gannet, is... a supervillain!

What shows or characters can you tell were inspired by Invader zim?

I feel like as a verified Zim Freak™ I can't help but notice shows or characters with significant similarities to the show or at least Zim as a character. in my own work (sneaky link hehe) I definitely feel like I pulled from the show a lot in terms of color grading and world-building, and one of the main characters, as pictured here, definitely has some zim-isms.

Off the top of my head I also think hazbin hotel was really inspired. Anyone else notice zim copies in the wild? Or have you made your own Zim clone?

Thoughts on my tiers? specifically, my $10 tier? Do many people buy in for little "heartfelt" gestures? I was also thinking of offering specialty stickers

I make queer superhero comics, just wondering if anyone had tips to make my tiers more appealing/worth it?

Hope everyone is having a super Juneteenth and pride!!!

>[…zzzt…]

>"Is this thing on? Alright, testing, testing. This is Scoops live..."

>[crackle-pop!]

>"...reporting to you from the heart of the H-town festivities! Today marks a monumental day for our city—the [BBZZT!]—th annual Juneteenth Pride celebration. For those tuning in from outside America, Juneteenth marks the day, June 19th, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Texas finally learned of their freedom. It is a day that marks progress, perseverance, and joy. We here in Houston celebrate Juneteenth and Pride separately throughout the month, but we’ve also established this specific Juneteenth Pride event as an additional holiday to honor unity, diversity, and [ZZZT!].

>However, the job of a hero never truly takes a holiday. Reports have come into the Network regarding a volatile shapeshifting villainess moving through the area. As a result, our own darling Pixamena and her sidekick are on the hunt so the celebration stays safe and uninterrupted. Big thanks to them for staying on their toes while the rest of us enjoy the festivities!

>That's it for now. Remember, folks, your Texan Hero Network is always here, eyes on the sky and feet on the ground to keep H-town safe. Let us be YOUR safety net! Scoops, signing off!"

>[Fizzle...zzt...Ro says hi...!]

What's the most epic magical girl feat ever?

For me personally, I think Homura's ascent into becoming the literal devil to save the one she loves is super epic. wish someone would be the homura to my madoka, smh.
