The comic book movie season has begun! And with that, fanboys (and fan-villains) are sure to have some expectations and opinions!

A BONUS piece this week, Heroites! “The Hero Business”, Bruce Timm Style! In honor of his departure as DC Entertainment animation producer. Thanks for years of awesome toons, Bruce!
Funny thing, I’d always considered Timm a HUGE influence, so forcing myself to draw in his style was really an eye opener… The staff looks quite different, don’t they?
At the Hero Business, you have to be specific with those yahoos from the temp agency!
(Also, I think we’ll be seeing Gopher again. I rather like him)
I wish I had some sketches to share from Boston Comic Con, which was scheduled for this past weekend… but the show was post-poned due to the epic manhunt. I’m just glad the Bostonians are safe, and I look forward to the rescheduled show in the summer!
Sentient GPS? I think this it explains stuff like this. Don’t let that cool British accent fool you — your GPS is trying to run you off the road!
Also, it looks like the Boston Comic Con is still a go (my thoughts are with those touched by the Boston Marathon tragedy).
You can find me at Artist Alley table AAW56. It’s one of my favorite shows with a great community of fans that gather every year.
I’ll be there with with hot-off-the-press Hero Business Collection #4 “Frenemy Mine,” along with a fresh collection of prints and original art works for sale. Plus, I’ll be available for commissions – first come, first serve.
You can even check out the Hero Business television debut, in the Boston Comic-Con commercial. For half a second at the :29 mark.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
We’re back with a series of Coffee Breaks before we begin our fifth storyline.
Since I’m a sucker for holiday-themed episodes of anything, this week’s comic is St. Patrick’s Day themed. And it also introduces Shennanigan – a character I’ve been wanting to introduce for a while now. And he has important ties to one of our cast, too!
Also, with my end of week getting more and more crunched with deadlines, I’m switching the HB update day to MONDAYS, so mark your calendars, Heroites!
As for Fridays… I’ll see if I can inject a little TGIF into the week with some fun behind-the-scenes stuff as well as other Walko-centric artwork to share.
So how was YOUR St. Patrick’s Day?
Well, Temp Month has concluded. Hope everyone enjoyed all our talented guest artists! Personally, I loved all the amazing entries from my talented friends.
This week, we’re looking at the cover to the fourth Hero Business collection “Frenemy Mine!”, on sale soon!
As usual, I do an homage to a famous comic book cover. For this issue, I drew inspiration from Lois Lane #93, by the legendary Curt Swan:
It seemed like the perfect image to capture the storyline…. with Glamazon in the Wonder Woman role and Morgan as the intrepid Lois Lane. And Simon engaging in a bit of Super-dickery.
Temp Month concludes this week — thanks to all the talented artists who treated us to different takes on the Hero Business universe!
This week’s comic is the second entry from Nick Perks. Devil Bat shares some similarities with Nocturnowl (my own ersatz Batman). And fans sure have a lot of fun poking holes at the whole “multiple Robins” scenario!
Nick is one of the featured “The Line It Is Drawn” artists on Comic Book Resources’ “Comics Should Be Good.” You can check out more of his fantastic work here!
Thanks again everyone! I’ll be returning with Walko-rific Hero Business goodness next week.
Temp Month continues — where you’ll be treated to different takes on the Hero Business universe through a series of special creators.
This entry is drawn by the awesome Axel Medellin. Around my circles, Axel is well-known for his bodacious renditions of the female form… so I’m super glad he graced us with a drawing of Parker!
Axel is also one of the featured “The Line It Is Drawn” artists on Comic Book Resources’ “Comics Should Be Good.” You can check out more of his wonderful work here!
One more Temp piece before we close out out guest artist jamboree!
