So, if I’m not mistaken, this is actually our 100th One-Shot, which is wild to think about. I’ve been doing these monthly since the fall of 2016, and there’s still plenty more to come! This one was won by a relatively new Subscriber, and is a focus piece on Invincible’s Atom Eve. She’s a character I feel like there’s some demand for more of, so I hope y’all will enjoy this action with her. I think I personally would’ve stuck with pairing her with other ladies from Invincible, since there’s a lot of good ones I haven’t drawn yet, but they instead elected for a more eclectic lineup. I hope y’all will enjoy it!
This page had two incompatible scripts submitted, so I wasn’t able to blend them like I usually do for these. Both scripts took the comic in a different direction I wasn’t thrilled about, so I basically just went with the idea that made the most sense to me. This one should be wrapping up pretty soon, I think.
The first One-Shot of 2025 is focused on Scott Pilgrim, a franchise I’m quite fond of. I first got into Scott Pilgrim through the movie, but I like the comic a lot as well and really enjoyed the Netflix series. I’d been toying with drawing Scott Pilgrim content for a while, but wasn’t sure how well I’d be able to handle the style. I was excited to see this script win, though, and I hope I did a good job with these characters.
Of the two scripts that were submitted for this page, I basically went with the action of one script and the dialogue of another. I think it worked out pretty well. I feel like we’re winding down to a natural conclusion here, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see this comic wrap in the next rotation (though we’ll see).
This is the second time we’ve had a Fire Force vs. Black Clover One-Shot, so I used the same location from last time for this comic. There’s a lot of new characters being introduced in this one, some of whom I don’t really know, but hopefully I captured everyone well and fans of both shows can enjoy this one.
