"Another Bad Night" by Dean Haspiel

My good friend, Dean Haspiel, was recently tapped to be part of a new Marvel original webcomics initiative! It all kicks off this Halloween and to commemorate the event, Dean has come up with a gem of a story featuring both Frankenstein and Werewolf by Night! Here's a synopsis of the story:

Halloween Special Issue Frankenstein might be one of the most misunderstood monsters out there... so it's just his luck when an overprotective mother temporarily blinds him, thinking he was attacking her daughter. Fortunately, Frankenstein stumbles into Jack Russell, a.k.a. Werewolf-by-Night, a friend who understands Frank's plight. That is, until the full moon comes out... Make sure you sign-on for this special Halloween Monster Mash, from writer/artist Dean Haspiel! And make sure you check out Frankenstein and Werewolf by Night who each face-off against the Hulk in their own stories in Monster Size Hulk - on sale now!

Newsarama.com had the official announcement about this story and many more at the following link: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/100816-Marvelnewtitles.html

Holy altruism, is Infurnari posting a link to his friend's latest comic out of the goodness of his mechanical heart!? Absolutely NOT, faithful reader! You know me too well. Dean Haspiel asked that I color this comic and in so doing has helped me get my first Marvel coloring gig! So the drawing above is all Dean and the colors, well, that's my contribution. I'll have more information as we get closer to launch. In the meantime, enjoy the above image as a small teaser of what's to come…

ULTRA-lad Leaderboard Image Gallery

Ever since The Transmigration of ULTRA-lad! went weekly, I've made new leaderboard images for the webcomic. The leaderboard image is the large icon that appears on the Act-i-vate main page when a comic has been updated. With these, I've tried to create images that feature an enticing moment from that week's update without being a spoiler. Here's a view of the last few weeks worth. Enjoy!

The Transmigration of ULTRA-lad! UPDATED!

"The Transmigration of ULTRA-lad!" is updated and from now on will be following a weekly update schedule! To celebrate the big news, I've changed things up a little and included a full color Sunday edition of Ultra-lad! These little gems are going to be thrown in here and there to augment the reading experience of the main comic narrative. Make no mistake, they are part of the larger story and are thematically linked to the events in the main narrative but are simply fun stylistic diversions to cut the morbidity. So without any further yada yada from me, here's the latest from "The Transmigration of ULTRA-lad!"

To have a little lead-in, try reading from the previous update.

See you in a week!
