HEAT #392 – He Deserved That

HEAT #392 – He Deserved That

POWERBOOOOOMB! Powerbombs are really fun to draw. The way the recipient’s body stacks up on itself during the move can be difficult, though, which is also a problem with roll-ups.

Speaking of powerbombs, Seth Rollins is back in WWE, which is exciting. Until AJ Styles’ title program, there wasn’t anyone in the main event picture that was delivering to the level that Rollins had been before his knee exploded.

Incidentally, Seth Rollins had a way worse version of the knee injury that I suffered (he also tore his MCL) and is going to wrestle professionally six months later. I tore my ACL and after four months of physiotherapy my knee MOSTLY works again, and I don’t really need it to do anything particularly stressful. Rollins is going to do Phoenix splashes. Wrestlers are fucking maniacs, you guys.

HEAT #355 – Speed Lines Everywhere!

So many meaningful looks! So much non-verbal communication! So much faster to write when I don’t have to come up with dialogue!

Next week’s update is going to be a day or two late, as I’ll be spending the weekend in Whitehorse for Yukomicon! Right after I return, I’ll be doing some press for the HEAT: Super Max Edition signing on August 29th at Variant Edition Comics & Culture in Edmonton!

Next Week: Fatties falling like rain! Support HEAT on Patreon to read it a week early!

HEAT #331 – Flying Ants

I mentioned it in the Patreon preview, but I think this might be my favourite action page that I’ve drawn so far for HEAT. What are YOUR favourite HEAT action pages?

Speaking of Patreon, we’re creeping toward the first milestone goal, which will see HEAT volume 2 printed! Want one? Well YOU can help make it happen!

Also, according to Twitter, a lot of people are mad that WWE Fastlane was exactly what they were expecting it to be. Not sure why they were watching it, based on a lot of the reaction. Twitter is weird sometimes.

Next Week: OH GOD WHY ARE ALL THE ANTS FLYING!? See it now on Patreon!

HEAT #190 – Very Identified Flying Object

HEAT #190 – Very Identified Flying Object

I keep writing in flying cross bodies without remembering that they’re actually pretty difficult to draw, particularly the landing. Good job, me. Then again, I recently drew a powerbomb/cross body combination, so compared to that a normal cross body is pretty pedestrian stuff. I also really like the over-the-post isometric angle that I used in the first panel, which ECW used to use on TV in some of their venues. I’m not sure why it didn’t get used more often, as it’s a pretty unique angle compared to the standard wrestling TV shots. At some point during a FORCE Pro Wrestling production meeting I’m probably going to try to convince somebody that we should use it, if we happen to run a venue that supports it.

Speaking of live pro wrestling, if you missed it earlier this week I posted a review of PWA Fruition 2012, which was headlined by Harry Smith defending the PWA Heavyweight Championship against Chavo Guerrero Jr. You can see the match in it’s entirety right here!

On Saturday: I fought the Law, and it ended up in a shape closely resembling a pancake. Then it tried to tag out. I tried to come up with some sort of syrup joke but they all sounded dirty.

HEAT #141 – El Krak

HEAT #141 – El Krak

I feel like this is what would happen if a normal-sized wrestler tried to hurricanrana Rey Mysterio and didn’t accomodate for the fact that he’s only three apples high. It’s also the first time that it’s ever really been highlighted that Invincinator is actually pretty short, since his last match was against the biggest guy in the Super Max Challenge. Incidentally, his height gives me no shortage of problems trying to draw him in scale with everyone else.

This update is a lot earlier than usual because I found out a couple of hours ago that there’s a Monster Pro Wrestling show about five minutes away from my house tonight, so I’m going to go check that out. I might do up a show review for it, but we’ll see. I also want to do a blog post at some point soon about The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA DVD which I’ve been watching.

On Wednesday: Gangster has a run-in with the Law.
