HEAT #440 – The Train Of Consequences Pulls Into The Station

HEAT #440 – The Train Of Consequences Pulls Into The Station

My favourite thing about Dick, from a writing standpoint, is that he’s dumb. It means that any given situation can sneak up on him entirely, and having that kind of freedom is really helpful. It also lets him be boorish and not realize everyone wants to kick his ass, as evidenced above.

Next Week: All those guys get to the top of the stairs, and it’s not going to go great. Read it early on Patreon!

HEAT #431 – One Last Indignity

HEAT #431 – One Last Indignity

It’s not enough to make the guy unmask, ya just gotta be a prick about it, too, huh? Why yes, that’s kind of why he’s El Bastarde and not, like, El Pleasant Guy To Be Around. That would be a pretty funny character, though.

Also, in breaking sort-of-news, HEAT is going to be over for a while after this story arc ends. Over the coming weeks I’ll expand on what exactly that means.

Next Week: Filmed live in front of a studio audience! Read it early on Patreon!

HEAT #430 – El Ganador

And thus, the mask match ends with El Bastarde claiming his first mask. Will he beat Doctor Pain’s total of one? I mean, that’s not a high bar, but he still needs one more to take the lead.

Next Week: Bombard unmasks. Find out if he wore the mask because he’s ugly RIGHT NOW by becoming a patron on Patreon!

HEAT #429 – Goo Brain

Man, Bombard has been in the air for like two weeks.

Welcome, new readers who discovered HEAT at Emerald City Comic Con! Also, I really need to get drawing HEAT comics again, since I don’t have next week’s update done yet. Eeeeesh. To the drawing table!

Next Week: I can’t remember, I haven’t looked at the script in a while. But you can read it early on Patreon!

HEAT #428 – Destroooyeeer!

HEAT #428 – Destroooyeeer!

To me, the Canadian Destroyer is the most lucha finisher ever – it’s unnecessarily flashy and it looks like it should kill the guy taking it. That might be because the Dragon Lee vs. Kamaitachi feud is the bulk of the lucha I’ve watched recently, and those guys LOVE doing unnecessarily flashy moves that look like they should kill somebody. Speaking of which, who’s the first idiot to agree to take a flipping piledriver? That guy must be dead, right?

Next Week: There won’t be a comic next week, as I’ll be driving back from Emerald City Comic Con. The next update will be the 13th, but patrons can see that comic right now!

HEAT #427 – Slugfests: Nature’s Bad Idea

HEAT #427 – Slugfests: Nature’s Bad Idea

What does that title even mean? Who knows! Certainly not me. I do know that bloody Dick the Bastard lariating people is PEAK HEAT.

Just a heads up, there won’t be a new HEAT strip on March 6th, as I’ll be on my way home from Emerald City Comic Con. To help the buffer out, I’m just going to skip that week and return on March 13th.

Also, if you’re reading this, it means you like my comics. I’m having some financial trouble right now, so please consider buying some books at 20% off with promo code FIXMYCAR (also valid if you decide to order multiple books via email to save shipping). https://squareup.com/store/jeff-martin-art

HEAT #426 – Bom-Bard, Honk-Honk-Honk

HEAT #426 – Bom-Bard, Honk-Honk-Honk

This strip exists because of a line in my notes that was a reminder to reference the awesome/annoying air horn chants that are common in Arena Mexico. If you haven’t watched any lucha, it’s worth finding some Arena Mexico (CMLL) stuff online just to hear the audience. Their chants are all accompanied by rhythmic air horn blasts that seemingly go on throughout the entire match. That felt like a very distinct lucha libre element, and I wanted to make sure it was brought up in some form during this story arc. The three key elements for this arc were a six-sided ring (a AAA thing), masks and apuestas matches, and trios matches.

Next Week: More striking, more blood, and more words! Read it now by supporting HEAT on Patreon!

HEAT #425 – Defiant Bleeding

HEAT #425 – Defiant Bleeding

Up front: I fucked up. Sorry. I forgot to post this on Monday because I was out on a Monday night for the first time in months. I don’t really have an excuse for the four days after that, though.

While I was out on Monday, I DID get to see The Running Man in theatres as part of the Flashback Film Festival. That movie is one of the inspirations for HEAT, so it was appropriate to see it on update day. Now if only I had remembered to do that…

In other news, I had a major expense hit me by surprise, so if you’ve been thinking about purchasing any of my books, please do. As a token of thanks, you can get 20% off your purchase with the promo code FIXMYCAR, or by requesting an email invoice (ideal for multi-book orders, to save shipping). Hit the BUY STUFF tab to take advantage of that.

I love it when wrestlers show frustration like athletes. Like, this guy is countering all of my shit, and I hate it, and fuck this guy. It’s a similar to the reasoning I have for liking the defiant last stand spot where a wrestlers knows they’re about to lose, but refuses to just lay down and accept it, forcing their opponent to kill them. Really, any sort of indication from wrestlers that they’re in a competition and desperately want to win it is a positive for me.

Next WeekTomorrow: Blood and punching and blood and… you get the idea. Read it now on, and next week’s comic, on Patreon.

HEAT #424 – Arm Draggo En Mexico Part… 3? Or 4? Math Is Hard

HEAT #424 – Arm Draggo En Mexico Part… 3? Or 4? Math Is Hard

The time between writing this strip and drawing it was long enough that I had the hardest time remembering what the duck-under-springboard-arm-drag sequence was originally intended to look like. The end result probably wasn’t all that close to what I was imagining when I wrote it, but it did what I needed it to do.

What did you guys think about the Royal Rumble last night? I saw it get a lot of flak on the internet, but I thought it was awesome. Then again, I watch WWE pay-per-views drunk with a bunch of funny people, which means they’re always really entertaining. I also don’t care about WWE booking AT ALL, so I’m more invested in the thing I watch being exciting than the matches ending the way I want them to and my favourites getting pushed. It seems like most of the people who complain about WWE have this idea that their favourites deserve to win all of their matches and get Hulk Hogan in 1985 level pushes, and I have no idea why, because that idea is insane. Nobody at the party was complaining that Orton won, we were actually happy for my friend who picked him to win, because it meant he wouldn’t have to chug ANOTHER beer and probably ruin our host’s toilet. WRESTLING.

Next Week: I up the ante on the blood so as not to disrespect the gore-soaked nature of the lucha libre brawl. Patrons can read each HEAT strip a week before it goes live on the website!

HEAT #423 – Making Beers Fall From The Sky

HEAT #423 – Making Beers Fall From The Sky

As much as it’s a terrible and unsafe thing to do, I LOVE the visual of garbage being thrown into the ring when a heel succeeds. Think about how much atmosphere it adds to the Hulk Hogan heel turn promo from Bash at the Beach 1996. The ring is full of trash, and then people started throwing garbage into it to highlight that. HEYO.

In other news, I just finished a six page short story for an upcoming book called Squatchthology, which is an anthology about sasquatch. I’m told that will be out in April, so keep an eye on the web store for that. Speaking of which, if you want to buy some books, hit up the “Buy Stuff” link in the menu bar. It works now! I filled some orders from it prior to Christmas, so it definitely works, unlike the previous attempt at a store. It’s almost like the folks at Square know what they’re doing, and I’m just an idiot who draws comics and has no idea how to do other things.

Next Week: The third and final fall begins – one of these men will lose his mask. Patrons can read it right now!
