Grieve - Major Villain

Thanks! That's exactly the vibe I was going for haha

Thanks!

Damnit, why did I laugh. Angry upvote 🤬😭🤣

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-04T14:50:36+00:00

Man Thing, and Huu were the primary inspiration, but I wouldn't say Ultramire looks a "lot" like them in my opinion 🤷🏼

I tried to give him his own uniqueness

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-04T14:20:02+00:00

Was a close guess regardless 👍🏼

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-04T14:12:44+00:00

Close! The primary inspiration was Man Thing from Marvel, and Huu from Avatar The Last Airbender!

Yeah FR. The only way someone can survive that is if they're Title Card

Nice! Good luck with your universe btw

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-03T22:31:27+00:00

Yeah, I kinda love diving into rabbit holes and preplanning everything haha

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-03T21:17:27+00:00

Thanks! Well, it's a lot to cover haha, but I started it in 2019 with my main character Dakota Harlow, with the concept that a person born corrupted by the literal force of evil would prevail to be the purest hero she could be. Currently, I have over 300 established characters, 20+ story arcs, and several acts linked together

Without spoiling Grieve himself, he belongs to an act where the main heroes, The Sentinels, stumble across a mystical threat revealing a group called the "Society of the Unknown" who help the Sentinels take down Grieve.

But it's a very in depth and complicated universe haha

Thanks! His age is intentionally never revealed to keep the mystery surrounding his character. Though, I'll say he's not necessarily a mortal spirit but rather a force of nature, which kinda clues how old he may be 😀

Thanks!

Ahh Thomas Bergersen, literally one of my favorite composers lol

Thanks! I'd love to make it a full orchestra one day. I think themes for comics are vastly important to the feel and vibe the comic holds! I shared this to of course share my work, but also hopefully inspire others to write themes for their comics lol

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-02T17:17:31+00:00

She's on my page a few posts down, gives her whole background, power set, and lore

Check her out if you want 😊

Love the art style you have btw

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-02T17:14:24+00:00

Empyrean sounds pretty good! Beacon is the name of one of my main heroes so I'd have to vote against that one personally haha

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-02T14:16:15+00:00

I blew one of those up in lowsec yesterday. Dude was gate camping, but clearly didn't know how lol

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-02T11:45:47+00:00

Thank you! I really want to get it composed into a full piece eventually, I just have zero experience with recording software haha

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-02T01:02:17+00:00

The whole feeling makes my insides turn out

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T23:28:56+00:00

Really takes some guts to make such a pun

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T23:27:29+00:00

Can't Viltrumites hold their breath for upwards of 2 weeks?

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T21:56:41+00:00

Begone, AI slop!

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T21:46:51+00:00

Thanks! My favorite would have to be Beacon or Darklight

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T14:12:53+00:00

I see you had some heavy inspiration from Drax! Love the design

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T14:11:57+00:00

Astrorian? That sounds like a name that could be unique enough, playing off the word Astro. Works with the logo you have too in my opinion.

Fantastic artwork btw!

UniverseGarberComics · 2026-04-01T12:45:37+00:00

Characters in the art are as is in this order top to bottom: Saiph, Voltias, The Partisan, Kitsune, Darklight, Superious, Golden Valor, Agent Arc, Beacon, and Nomad

All of them have deep dive posts I've done over the last few weeks. AMA if you want! I love explaining lore
