HOSTILE TAKEOVER - CHAPTER TWO IS LIVE!

Last time: Owen Owens Snr., the dread CEO attempted a hostile takeover of Nelson Cooper's Omnibot Incorporated. Things didn't exactly go to plan.

HOSTILE TAKEOVER! CHAPTER TWO

Back in February, I created a 12-page mini-comic called 'Hostile Takeover', a bit of fun and a love-song of sorts to  Ashley Wood and 3A Toys. Cranked out in a weekend, fast, cheap and fun! You can read it for free here: http://issuu.com/morgangleave/docs/hostile_takeover

Move forwards to now, and the Mini-Comic Challenge is in full swing. A great bunch of creative folks from all over the planet cranking out fantastic comics of all shapes and sizes. The only rule is that you complete 12 pages of comics during the set month. Easy?

Our business and health has taken the controlling interest in our lives, so my idea of recreating the first issue of my Feline Occult Investigator - 'Patches McGinley' hasn't transpired. A stinkin' cold this week led to being bed-ridden, whereupon I started doodling, and remembered 'Hostile Takeover'. Bingo! Chapter 2 is written, four pages are laid out, one is inked, and I've done a color (sic) panel for kicks! Should have most of the art cracked this weekend, as it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK.

Chapter 2 will be up on Issuu by the end of May for your enjoyment, and I have more big robot and big gun action plotted... It's turning into a real saga! (I'm thinking of a collected edition in print...)

For now, here's the test panel in colour and the first page as a teaser... Enjoy!

CHUCK ME A CHALLENGE!

Okay. As mentioned earlier, I'm planning on a new comic release on a bi-monthly basis this year.  I'm plotting the first one, and have started on a bigger project which will be done (hopefully) at the end of the year.

But, I'd like you to help too... That's where 'Chuck me a challenge' comes in. I want you to send me ideas for more comics, the more challenging the better.  I want to move out of my artistic comfort zone and push myself, so bring on the ideas!

You can email me at: morgan@morgangleave.co.uk or leave comments here on the blog... I look forwards to hearing from you!

IT'S ON!

Happy New Year!

This year is all about comics... I plan on creating a new comic bi-monthly (or sooner!) this year, and they'll be available on-line and in print!

First up, football playing cats and dogs! Enough talking, more doing!
