HEAT #334 – Transform And O’Conner Roll Out

HEAT #334 – Transform And O’Conner Roll Out

This page exists because around the time I was writing it, I really wanted to draw an O’Conner roll. I don’t know why, but sometimes I just get a move or a spot stuck in my head and really, really want to draw it into the comic. Although I suppose impulses like that are why I’m doing this comic in the first place… at any rate, O’Connor rolls are fun to draw.

Speaking of things that were fun, I’ve been learning to colour more efficiently lately, and I did what I think is a pretty cool HEAT piece for the Patreon folks. You can check out cool bonus stuff like that, as well as get some sweet rewards, for as little as $1 a month! And for those of you interested in HEAT Volume 2 becoming available? Patreon is something you should check out.

Next Week: A lot of Spanish Gibberish. A lot. Check it out now on Patreon!

HEAT #333 – 50% Of The Beast

HEAT #333 – 50% Of The Beast

But not 50% of Brock Lesnar. That’s still like 2000% beast. I’m pretty sure that dude could kill me by blinking.

I remember being really confused the first time I watched lucha libre and somebody got DQ’d for tearing his opponent’s mask off. It was the CMLL show that used to air on the Fight Network in Canada, where the commentary was done by British guys and all of the matches were several years old. Actually MOST of lucha libre was confusing the first time I watched it. “Why doesn’t the pin end the match? Why are those guys just standing there waiting to get jumped on? Why did he start running the ropes because he was gently nudged at them? Who’s blowing that airhorn and how can I have him killed?” It’s really only in the last year or so that I’ve been able to get a grasp on lucha, which has been good timing, because I got to watch a LOT of excellent Barbaro Cavernario matches. Oh, and that whole Ultimo Guerrero vs. Atlantis mask match thing. That was preeeeetty good.

Speaking of preeeeetty good, shout out to all of the patrons on Patreon who are helping to keep the lights on over at the HEAT studios. I’m going to be restructuring the reward tiers shortly to give you guys EVEN MORE PERKS, so please give it a look and maybe kick in a few bucks to back your favourite weekly dose of space wrasslin’.

Next Week: Los ending de los matchos. I, uh, I don’t speak Spanish. Regardless, read it now on Patreon!

HEAT #331 – Flying Ants

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 #330 – Knowing Is Half The Battle

HEAT #330 – Knowing Is Half The Battle

This might be the first time that two pinfalls have occurred on a single page. The only opportunity I can recall would have been during the Super Max Challenge Final, but given that it lasted about two thousand pages, I would imagine I spread the falls out a bit.

Given that there’s no commentary to take care of it, some character names: El Bastarde (Dick the Bastard), Tex Abrams (lariat guy), Perro Rabioso (dog guy in the black mask), and Los Antelones (the other team).

Also, thanks to the new backers on Patreon. Your support is humbling, and also incredibly helpful, as it helps keep food in the fridge while I live the life of a full-time cartoonist. Meaning I eat cereal in my pajamas frequently and draw space wrestlers and hockey mutants for money instead of working in an office or something. Which is awesome.

Next Week: El Bastarde doesn’t really El Understande lucha libre. See it early on Patreon!

HEAT #329 – LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!

HEAT #329 – LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!

The best strip titles are references to chants that aren’t over with the NXT crowd, right?

I’m excited by the pages that are coming up. I drew them over December and January and it was a total blast to do something that’s pretty different from you guys have seen so far in terms of the in-ring action. I was getting a little bored of the Galactic Wrestling style, and drawing Smashmouth Smith’s goddamn tattoos. Now I get to draw sweet luchador masks and dudes doing flips. Which is super fun.

Speaking of super fun: Patreon. HEAT started as a way for me to practice and develop as a cartoonist, but now it needs to sustain itself. That’s where you come in! For as little as $1 per month, you can help support HEAT AND get some cool bonus rewards, including digital and print comics, behind the scenes looks at the creative process, and even pitch wrestler ideas to be used in future HEAT comics!

Okay, plug over. Wait, never mind, because…

Next Week: Lucha is confusing. See it now on Patreon!
