Hellboy calls in the anti-ICE strike force.

Sequence from HELLBOY: SEED OF DESTRUCTION

We see frogs raining down from the sky as Hellboy looks on and says, “Sir…you’ve got frogs.”

Telling a bad guy that his soul lacks poetry while you kick him in the face is the stuff of legends.

The golden age hero Mad Hatter swings from a chandelier and kicks a bad guy in the face while saying, “I do believe there’s no poetry in your soul!”

He’s tried numerous times to lift the hat off of the mannequin, but it doesn’t budge because he hasn’t proven himself worthy…yet.

Alan Moore gave the world, “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?”

In 2026 (if I can find an artist and publisher) I’ll give the world, “Whatever Happened to the Mad Hatter’s Hat?”

If it sweetens the deal at all, I’ll gladly introduce the Mad Hatter’s kid sidekick:

No grave can hold him, but can Graves hold him?

Killer Croc would cry real tears instead of those phony crocodile tears.

Batman's entire rogues gallery would plunge into existential despair if he said their soul lacks poetry

Be nice to Bud.

A single tear would fall down Bane’s face, underneath the mask while he softly says, “That was uncalled for. You didn’t have to be so hurtful…so cruel…”

I remember following along with a lot of what you did there and really enjoying it!

“We’ll correct it in the next issue.”

Next issue goes to press.

“I can’t believe we did it AGAIN!”

Matt Anderson @mattbegins.bsky.social · 1d

Everything about this is amazing!

I do like the thought that the first issue goes to press and then all of the sudden the creators slap their own faces and say, “Crap! We forgot the hat!”

Matt Anderson @mattbegins.bsky.social · 1d

If I get to write a Mad Hatter series, there will be at least a mention of his personal Bizarro, the Sensible Hatter.

Matt Anderson @mattbegins.bsky.social · 1d

Now that you point it out, the symbol isn’t particularly hat-like.

Matt Anderson @mattbegins.bsky.social · 1d

I completely forgot about Funnyman!

Definitely need to go back and revisit that character.

Great design work on The Goof!

That’s called subverting expectations.

He may not wear a hat, but the symbol on his chest projects just like the spider-signal!
