Q-boy Short #36 Blindly “Stephanie Browning” It / The History Of Q-boy Part 34 (Censored)

If you don’t get the title then congratulations you’re not that big of a nerd! Stephanie Brown was a character that started in the Robin comic as a crimefighter called The Spoiler.  She then became Robin herself for a short time, then she got killed, then she got better and became Batgirl.  People really liked her as Batgirl so of course DC relaunched its whole universe and changed almost nothing in the Batman comics except making her no longer exist.  I think they brought her back not to long ago though.  So all of that is to say her name is a reference to how Spiderous-Man is spoiling the the title of the comic.

This comic is made of of elements of X-men #35 (Spiderous-Man’s pose); Flash #123 (the two Q-boy’s running); and Daredevil #4 (the rest). Flash #123 is one of the most important comics in the Silver Age of comics as it is the first to introduce the concept of multiple Earths in DC Comics.

Next time yet another new group of heroes is introduced and Q-boy and happy about it.  In addition things between Eddy and Jerry continue to be contentious.  Hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

We meet quite a few characters here.  First we got Q-boy and U’s girlfriends Miss Direction, and Distraction Lass.  Then we got Lactos The Intolerable and his herald The Golden Snowboarder.  All of this is weird mix of a version of Galactus and The Silver Surfer, and love interests made up for Batman and Robin, the original Batwoman and Bat-girl that were created to fend off accusations that Batman and Robin were gay.  The look of this comic is based on the covers of Fantastic Four #49 and Batman #139.  Speaking of the Fantastic Four I saw that movie last night, and man that was terrible.  Next time we see Spiderous-Man again, and we meet another Q-boy from another dimension and a blind crimefighter of some type.  As always hope you enjoy and see ya next time.

Q-boy Short #34 A Valuable Lesson In Acceptance / The History Of Q-boy Part 32 (Censored)

In case its not clear this is basically like the original Teen Titans fighting the original X-men.  For this one I basically took the covers of X-men #6 and Teen Titans #44 and combined them.  I didn’t think the background to either comic worked though so I took the background of the cover to X-men #2 and added it in.  It took me forever to figure out what the colors for Freedom Girl should be.  Not much more to add to this one.  Next time we meet Q-boy’s girlfriend, some other chick, and there might be some minor world peril.  Hope you enjoy and see ya next time.  Let me ask you though if you have to pick one would you be and Exception or an Exceptional?

Q-boy Short #33 At Best This Is A Pissing Match / The History Of Q-boy Part 31 Censored)

Sorry to be little late with this one.  Anyways you might notice this one overall looks a lot clearer than the other comics.  This is because is figured out a better way to make the comics.  The next paragraph will be shop talk so if you not interested you can just skip it.

[ShopTalk] So I’ve mentioned in the past that I used Adobe Flash to draw and color the comics.  Usually after this I would export the image as a .png file, and then add all the dialog using Adobe Ilustrator.  This would lessen the quality of the comic some.  After this I exported the image again to Photoshop and turned the image into a .jpeg to lower the file size so that the image will load quickly here.  Basically I was lowering the quality of the image twice. What I figured out was that I could avoid lowering the quality of the image in the first time by exporting the image in Adobe Flash as a .svg file instead of a .png file [/ShopTalk]

So there’s a lot of stuff going on with this one.  This comic is mainly based on the image below…

Justice League of America v1 #87 pg 25 Heroes of Angor IIOne problem was  I didn’t any place for Q-boy.  Also this whole thing was about the Justice League fighting the Avengers, and really its not the Justice League with Superman and Batman.  So I also used elements from this…

jla183Still there was not place for Captain America and I wanted to include one other member of the Q-four besides Q-boy so I also took elements from this…

avengers_93_fvfSo that pretty much how it was made.  Oh yeah Q-ball is saying “eating at Arby before this fight was an unfortunate decision”.  Next time U makes so friends and fights some “uncanny” heroes.   Oh one more thing what did everyone think of Antman?  Overall it was not bad, the chick was annoying and it dragged in the middle but still not bad.  Anyways as always hope you enjoy and see ya next time.

Now we meet Spiderous-Man, Dr. Do, and The Smasher.  Spiderous-Man and Dr. Do actually first appeared way back in Q-boy #1 (Spiderous-Man on page 15 and Dr. Do on page 19).  This is the first time seeing The Smasher but we met his female counterpart The Fem-Smasher back in Q-boy #2 on page 3.  This comics is based on combining the covers of Superman And Spider-man and Batman VS The Incredible Hulk as seen below…

The thing at the ending with Jerry talking about beating the Smasher by giving him a Coke was a subtle jab at the finale to Mad Men… I really hated that finale… A lot…. Anyways I wrote this one shortly after watching that.  That all I got for this one.  Next time we meet two super-teams and a big battle royale results.  Hope you all had a good Independence Day, and as always hope you enjoy and see ya next time.

So Eddy and Jerry are basically Stan Lee and Jack Kirby who basically created every character anyone cares about in the Marvel Universe.  I really like the idea of giving them this really contentious relationship.  This comic is based on the cover of Fantastic Four #1 which pretty much launched the Marvel Universe as seen below.

Fantastic Four #1 cover

So what’s Q-ball saying you might ask?  Well going by Google Translate he’s saying: “As a Mexican-American I am conflicted on illegal immigration. I am saddened by my people fleeing poverty and violence that are the side effects of US policies. Also many industries require illegal immigration because they do jobs no one else will do. I am also personally outraged by xenophobia and racism that is injected into the subject. On the other hand I understand the need for a secure border and improvements in the immigration process for legal immigrants like myself. Oh, yes, and I go by the name Q-ball and now is the time for Bruising!!!”

We’ll be seeing Eddy and Jerry for a while as we cover their contributions to Q-boy’s lore.  Anyways hope you enjoy, have a good Father’s Day, and see ya next time!

So what’s this one all about you might ask.  Well this one is referencing a guy named Bill Finger who co-created Batman, and may have done a lot of the heavy lifting in that but isn’t given as well known as he should be and wasn’t given much of the credit.  The big panel at the end is based on the cover of a comic where Superman and Shazam fought as shown below…

supermanvsshazam4

Another comic that recently did a homage to this cover is The Hero Business. Click the link check it out.  We’ll definitely be seeing more of Kill-Man (and Q-girl getting drunk) over time.  Next time we’ll find out who “The Emperor” and “The Guy” are, and we’ll sorta meet a new character… Oh and a certain monster that appeared once before returns.  Seriously though should it be “Kill-man” and “The Kill-man”?  Anyways hope you enjoy and see ya next time.

Here we have the grand meeting of the 3 Q-ladies, and Freedom Female to boot!  For this one I made some attempts at drawing in Adobe Illustrator, but once again it just wasn’t a good fit for me so I’m back to Adobe Flash.  We also see here Q-girl getting drunk which we will continually see as one of her defining character traits.  Wait is “getting a drunk” or ever being an alchoholic a character trait?  Anyways you can see this goes way back  of the first appearance of “modern Q-girl” way back on page 21 of Q-boy #2.  This cover below show what this comic was based on…

JLA_157_95Next time we’ll see two of our Q-ladies and we’ll be introduced Q-boy’s greatest rival Kill-man!  From there Q-boy with the help of some new creators really hits the Silver Age of comics running!  Should be a wild ride! You gotta wonder though what’s Q-girl’s drink of choice.  Hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

And now we have our 3 Q-ladies: Q-girl, The Red Q Lady, and Queenie The Q Whore.  This comic was based on the cover of Phantom Lady #17 which as the comic suggested was specifically pointed out by the book that nearly ended comics “Seduction Of The Innocent”. As you can see below…

phantomlady17

Next time our 3 Q-ladies meet for the first time, and Freedom Female shows up again.  I have a feeling they’ll all get along and be good friends… Riiiiiiiiight!  That’s about it for this one. So where does everyone rank Age Of Ultron?  It was good, but had some problems (too many characters mostly and the mind control scenes).  I’m not sure where I rank it but it doesn’t make my top 5 (Dark Knight, Avengers 1, Cap 2, Guardians, Iron Man 1).  Anyways hope everyone had a good Mother’s Day, and see ya next time.

qbs26c

So there’s a lot going on with this one… Let’s start with some Wonder Woman history as that is who Freedom Female is based on.  Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston who also happened to invent the lie detector.  He was way into the idea that women should run the world and something about “loving bondage”.  He also had a poly relationship with 2 women, one of which he married, and they all lived together. For the hell of it I made the 2 women black and hispanic to add some diversity.  Sandra Christie I based very loosely on Jackie Ormes who was the first black woman to create a syndicated comic strip.  The character The Red Q Lady is a combination of Jackie’s character Torchy Brown and the Woman In Red who was a female crimefighter in the very early days of comics.  Both characters are explained more on this article on the site ComicBookGrrrl.com.  The first panel is based on the first panel of the Woman In Red comic below…

womaninredThe whole “Murderess Of Monsters”/Vampire stuff with the Red Q Lady…. I’ll keep that under the hat for now…Oh yeah! I didn’t have room to translate what Rosalina is saying in the last panel.  She’s basically saying “I’d kill you if I wasn’t Catholic you old whore” and “those thieves can rot in hell”.  Do you think The Red Q Lady every improved her stake throwing?  Anyways that’s it for now, next time we meet a “man with a master plan, his name is Sam, and I think you better recognized”.
