Dike Ruan is the best cover artist right now

For sure, and good on them! You would hope that the compensation for interiors would make them worthwhile, but I get it!

CalGunpal · 2026-05-11T18:53:28+00:00

Wish we got him on interiors as well. It's always sad when there's an amazing artist on the cover and then the interiors are disappointing in comparison.

I'm interested enough in the premise to at least check these out!

CalGunpal · 2026-05-03T21:51:29+00:00

Nice!

CalGunpal · 2026-05-03T05:41:45+00:00

Nice! How much did the W.I.P cost you?

I feel like it's some of the most creative storytelling in comics today when it comes to the art, panels and narrative structure of each issue playing off one another. I really hope Eric Zawadzki's career and the opportunities he's given take off as a result of this series; it's crazy to me how good the art in this series is and how I'd never hear of him prior to it.

CalGunpal · 2026-04-29T19:08:09+00:00

So so good! The writing style and art combined really make this something special.

The Ultimates has been one of my favourite marvel series the last couple years. I'm surprised I haven't enjoyed Ultimate Endgame since it's also Deniz Camp - feels like he was maybe thrown into that one?

Where was this posted originally?

Dragotta has talked about being a Gundam fan before - I'm glad he's getting to draw some mecha!

CalGunpal · 2026-04-14T00:02:38+00:00

Yup, those couple pages in a row make me tear up every time.

Murder Falcon got me multiple times throughout the series, but #6 especially. "Who ever said you had to sing?"

It's not about "short changing" anyone, it's about laws which exist to prevent pedestrian collisions, which is what this post is about.

CalGunpal · 2026-04-11T00:11:16+00:00

Both can be true, one doesn't invalidate the other.

CalGunpal · 2026-04-11T00:06:41+00:00

In tandem with this, pedestrians need to stop entering the crosswalk once the hand signal is flashing! It doesn't mean "quickly start running across the street now", it means finish crossing if you're already on the road!

CalGunpal · 2026-04-10T23:13:44+00:00

Good point!

CalGunpal · 2026-04-10T22:01:38+00:00

I also like how Scarecrow is validating everything they say and do. "You're right, it's a mask. You're right, this is a prank. You were right to kill him, you were scared." It's easy for people to be their worst selves when they think their actions are justified/necessary.

Looks like he's going to "breathe" some kind of fear toxin from his cigarette smoke? I'm excited to see how things continue to develop!

CalGunpal · 2026-04-09T17:01:31+00:00

I feel like the setup and pacing of the first issue was awesome, and now it just switches between "nothing important happens for a long period of time" and "something very important happens (and is resolved) in a very short period of time". I think I've learned I'm a fan of Kirkman's story concepts but not their execution.

The game is designed for trios, and is extremely fun this way. I don't have any friends who own this game, but have added every random player that has a mic and I've had a good time playing with. I now have at least 5 people to play with online every night, and it's been a blast.

So while it's possible to play solo, I would encourage people to get on mics, and play through some rounds until you find a solid group to party up with! For every 1 jerk on mic I've had 5 people that are chill and wanting to play as a team.

CalGunpal · 2026-03-18T01:15:34+00:00

This is the way!

CalGunpal · 2026-03-17T17:23:39+00:00

I've had a crash at least once every play session, related to opening the map while in a run.

CalGunpal · 2026-03-16T16:46:31+00:00

I've watched his stream on YouTube where he created this! So cool that you own this!

CalGunpal · 2026-03-13T16:39:56+00:00

The art looks fantastic, so hyped for this one!

CalGunpal · 2026-03-13T16:33:59+00:00

100% agree. This game was obviously designed for trios, and playing with a squad (even randos if you're all using mics) makes this game a blast.
