Spidey: In A Rush Valentines Day (silent) Fan Comic by Anthony Andujar Jr

    I made this short comic while being in Jury Duty a few days before Valentines Day. I proceeded to color it and now, here it is in color! Evocative of the core 60's vibes of the original Ditko and Romita Spider-Man stories. Happy Valentines Day!

Fan Comic Spider-Man In a Rush (B&W) by Anthony Andujar Jr

Welp, thanks to the panel templates that the comic notebook has, I was able to just come up with a short comic. I figured for practice, fun, sharing and for portfolio purposes, that I would come up with a Short based on my time serving in Jury Duty (completed) last week. I figured it would be a nice silent comic exercise. One of my cowriters @lord__sanchez always bugs me to use inks, which I only use when I know it's the final stage , and not something to be scrapped. I plan to digitally color it and maybe add dialogue... Livicole Cosplay ended up being my reference for Mary Jane. It was unintentional but came out nice hahaha. Anywho, gonna have some original content for y'all while i work on the graphic novel etc. Stay tuned. 

Knight Spider short comic by Anthony Andujar Jr

I think this hashtag is a great way to honor #steveditko and #stanlee. #spidermanintothespiderverse #spiderverse lived up to the philosophy that #anyonecanwearthemask that those two came up with when they created #spiderman . I'm glad that @aspen_art and @xx_crimsonx_xx brought this to my attention and got me inspired to create my own self portrait of myself if I was a Spider-Man. A great way to encourage artists of all levels to put their skills to the test.

So I made an OC based on myself and I dubbed him Knight Spider.  Wears a tactical suit where the mask a retractable nanite helmet, and is a mix between super Sentai, Batman and Robin.  The character would be wearing tactical Kevlar gear (similar to Captain America). The suit is a mix between Captain America's stealth suit, Ben Reilly's suit and a bit of secret war and the classic Spidey armor (silver). I'm all about practicality, so this  Possibly my favorite suit for a character that I made. Also, fun fact, the spider is in the shape of an A which represents my name.  

  When I wrote out the entire script, I realized that my character had no ties to Spider-Man in any way, and only relied on nano tech from the highly advanced tech that was passed down from. No spider powers, and no actual characters from Marvel. The only name in relation to spider-man is only the "spider" part of the name. This gave me free reign to play around and craft a short story that is in its own universe and world. Much like how Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was inspired by Fist of the Northstar, i kinda approached things in the same way. Anywho, you can see for yourself. This was very fun.

   Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this short comic! I worked on it throughout the entirety of January (scripting, thumbnailing, illustrating and coloring) and started lettering the pages between January to mid February. This was a fun mini project for myself, and I may continue to add more stories focused on these characters possibly. I still have the Graphic Novel and other projects that I've been working on. I'll keep you all updated in between all of the classes and day job stuff. See ya around!

         

Comic Book Reviews 1/30/19 by Anthony Andujar Jr

    Man, @ssnyder1835 and @jamesthefourth  dropped a friggin bombshell that set the stage for not just the Justice League, but each of the JL / DC titles involved for rest of this year!! You can read my whole review about it, but what I can confirm is this: all the build up that lead to this annual issue was so worth it! If you're gonna pick up something that feels important to the landscape to the DCU, I feel this is the book. Also,

      I did a review Batman Beyond issue 28 which is one of my favorite issues this week, and The Flash issue 63. I didn't know that annual 2 of The Flash was also coming out today until i saw  @scottkolins post two days ago. All I can say is that it is worth checking out!!!!!!
