"The 99"

Last summer some old Marvel buddies asked me to pinch-hit on this superhero strip they produce for the Middle East market. Apart from wanting to help my friends out of a pinch, this represents my first panel-to-panel superhero comics in like fifteen years, so I was jumping up and down to do it. It's not exactly the most dramatic of stories--our heroes basically walk around for awhile and save some scientists from a volcano--but I tried to jazz it up as best I could.

Due to some kind of format issue, they ended up cutting the art apart and moving stuff around when they went to print, as you can see at bottom. But whatevs, it still reads pretty good.

Big thanks to Michael Kraiger and Marie Javins for giving me a chance to shake some of the dust off my limbs.
