HEAT #415 – Keys To Victory

I always enjoy the keys to victory in sports games, because they’re almost always obvious things that aren’t at all unique to that team. “The offence needs to execute.” That’s an actual key to a game that I remember seeing. That describes EVERY OFFENCE in EVERY SPORT. “Work hard” was another one. Again, EVERYONE IN EVERY SPORT NEEDS TO DO THAT. Get it together, sports commentary.

Next Week: More keys to victory, which are slightly more specific to the individuals involved. Read it now by becoming a patron on Patreon!

HEAT #227 – Eye Gouges Are Always The Correct Answer

HEAT #227 – Eye Gouges Are Always The Correct Answer

The Sickle Hold returns! And is slightly better drawn than last time. It’s also countered much better than last time… in that it is countered at all. Also, in talking to some people at Pure Speculation this weekend, they noted the recent level of gore in HEAT. Man, they don’t know the half of it. By page 233, which is the end of volume 2, there’s going to be more juice than an elementary school at lunch time. I’m talking Cactus Jack goes to Japan juice. THERE WILL BE BLOOD. Daniel Day Lewis will not be present.

Speaking of Pure Spec, I might do a blog post about it, but the short version is that people actually came to see Dan and I talk about comics and somehow making money arting.

Next Week: The most disappointing unmasking since every unmasking in wrestling ever. Also, explosions.

HEAT #207 – Yakuza Kick: The Onomatopoeia

HEAT #207 – Yakuza Kick: The Onomatopoeia

I very much enjoy sound effects that aren’t even attempting to mimic a sound, they’re just stating what is happening. Hence why every sound effect on this page is just describing what is happening… unless a kick to the face actually makes the sound “Yakuza kick!” I don’t listen closely to the sounds made by face-kicking. I definitely don’t know what sound stepping on the back of somebody’s leg to make them kneel would make, so I went with the well-thought-out sound effect “leg stomp.”

Also, Ron Gould may have more blood outside of him than inside. I’d say “take that” to WWE’s current no blood ever policy, but if they had a guy bleed this much in real life I’m pretty sure he’d die. And if WWE did that, then hardcore indies like CZW would end up with morgues instead of locker rooms to seem more extreme.

Next Week: Does Ron Gould even have blood left? Seriously, somebody should get a medical professional out here. He’s grossing up the ring.

HEAT #129 – Gouged Eye of the Law

HEAT #129 – Gouged Eye of the Law

You may have noticed the pattern of terrible plays on phrases involving “Law” in the titles recently. You should be used to cringe-worthy titles by now, though. If it wasn’t already pretty clear that Johnny Law is… let’s say an “homage”… to the Big Bossman, there should be no question about it now. Incidentally, the Bossman Slam is a really difficult move to figure out how to stage, especially since it typically involves a 90-ish degree swing.

In case you missed it yesterday, scroll down to check out my review of PWA Adrenalize 2011, including pictures and video (with plenty more of each on Flickr and YouTube).

In other news, the HEAT book is off to the printer on Monday!

On Wednesday: Is the Bossman Slam the end for Paul Meyers?

HEAT #114 – The Referees Aren’t Actually Qualified to Tie Their Own Shoes

HEAT #114 – The Referees Aren’t Actually Qualified to Tie Their Own Shoes

Ron’s belly-to-belly suplex falls into the ever-expanding category of fairly simple moves that are pretty hard to draw. A recent addition to that list, as my night owl Twitter followers may be aware of, is the Mexican arm drag that will be appearing on page 119, which I’m about to go ink. The cut to Doc and Dick in the locker room in the second panel started off as just visual variety, but I’ve actually ended up cutting back and forth between the locker room and the ring in the last few pages I’ve drawn, so this page serves to establish that a bit.

Also, scroll down to check out my review of the PWA 10th Anniversary Show, which featured TNA grapplers and 23 time World Tag Team Champions, the Dudley Boyz. Er, I mean Bully Ray and D’Von. Also, Lance motherfucking Storm. If that’s not his legal middle name, it should be. I took a bunch of pictures at the show, so this review’s purdier than the usual wall o’ text.

On Saturday: An old friend returns. And by friend I mean a guy with a sparkly jacket and a bad haircut.
