Dr. Jeremy Stone is a scientist working for Jacob Marlowe. When one of the other-dimensional creatures came through a portal and was incapacitated, Stone studied the body and began to experiment. He crossed his DNA with that of the creatures and soon discovered that he could turn into a humanoid version of the beast. Everytime he turns into the creature though, the longer he is in that form, the dumber and less controlled he is.

Dave Sim’s wet dream?
Void is a teenage girl from china who discovers that she can teleport from dimension to dimension. Jacob Marlowe and his team rescue her from some of the bad guys who want to use her abilities to destroy and/or rule the other dimensions. She can’t control her abilities too well, so Marlowe creates a suit which allows her to channel her powers correctly. She decides to join the team to pay Marlowe back for saving her life and for the suit.

Hey hey hey! It’s Rocktober! And it’s time to start my theme month! All through this month (all 31 days) I will presenting redesigned superhero and supervillain characters. Because it’s Halloween, and dress-up and stuff.
I’ve got a lot of good suggestions and some idears of my own, but I am always down to accept more. If there’s a superhero or supervillain you’d like to see redesigned by me, let me know in the comments, or on muh Facebook or the Twitters.
I’m starting out the theme month with a theme week: WildC.A.Ts (Covert Action Teams). I’ve even given a tweak to their backgrounds/origins/whatever.
Jacob Marlowe is a Tony Stark-like engineer/industrialist/scientific genius, etc. etc. He and his research team at his corporation have discovered a breach into three alternate dimensions – one of primative monstrous mutant creatures, one of highly intelligent alien life, and the other of magic. Having breached these dimensions, he realizes that he also has brought great harm to our world and assembles a team to help protect it.
Spartan is puppet. It’s a robotic marionette that Marlowe controls. It allows him to lead his team in the field of battle. Every thought and action of Spartan is Marlowe, safely back at the home base.

Yesterday, not only did I finish watching Battlestar Galactica, but Breaking Bad also ended. We had a viewing party last night. And by party, I mean I hung out with this guy:
And two other people were there. We ate Taco Bell. And then I went home.
I liked the ending to both. Stay tuned to The Stupid Sexy Podcast for more in-depth discussion than you ever wanted about Breaking Bad. Maybe some Battlestar talk. Probably not.
With a sort of emptiness in my soul now, I watched the movie Excision. It stars Traci Lords, with bit roles by Ray Wise, Malcom McDowell and Marlee Matlin. It’s about a delusional, outcast teenage girl with disturbing sexual fantasies about corpses and surgery. It’s okay. I kept thinking throughout that it would be a great short film and then found out that it indeed started as a short. It really collapsed under the weight of its (really not all that long) longer running time. It’s labeled as a horror movie, but it really isn’t. At all. It’s just a weird, gross, gory, disturbing drama about a mother and a daughter.
Right at this moment, I am watching a film called Seventh Moon. The concept is very interesting. A young American couple is honeymooning in China. They piss off the locals by being Ugly Americans (although, not really. I’ve seen worse) and get abandoned in the middle of nowhere on a night when living creatures are sacrificed to ancient ghosts. It’s directed by Eduardo Sanchez, who co-everythinged The Blair Witch Project. Despite this not being a found footage movie, the camera is super fucking shaky, but it doesn’t really matter because I can’t see a motherfucking thing that’s happening. I don’t think they could afford lights. So, I’m kind of pressed to stop watching because this is goddamn annoying. This might as well be an audio drama.
Update: The movie is now being lit by a cell phone.
Update 2: Fuck this movie.

Breaking Bad is ending this Sunday. I would talk about it, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got nothing new to say about it that you don’t already know. I love the show, I will miss it, but I’m glad it’s ending. Go out on top.
I drew this as a celebration of the show, and also because I was inspired by my pal Jason Young. He drew a series of 12 trading card sized portraits of the major players from the show.
