Temp Month Entry #23: “My Fated Valentine”
Temp Month continues — where you’ll be treated to different takes on the Hero Business universe through a series of special creators.
A few months ago, Scott Bachmann had mentioned, “I just love Bill Walko’s universe and the stuff he comes up with. I like most of the creative worlds in this [Collective of Heroes] group, but It’s Bill’s that tips the edge and makes me want to write stories in his world. I want to create a villain called The Plot Twister and have an epic battle with Major Spoiler.”
A huge compliment, coming from the writer of “Our Super Mom”, an extremely engaging comic about a semi-retired super-heroine who manages to raise kids while saving the world a few times.
So when I saw his interest, I immediately recruited (ok, begged, cajoled and pitched) him for this go-round of Temp Month. So Scott rallied his artist, the talented Scott D M Simmons, and the idea of The Plot Twister became a reality! (Seems like everyone loves to hate those Spoilers, heh.)
And with this strong entry, we close out another Temp Month Event! Thanks to all the extremely gracious and talented creators who lent their abilities to my little world.
The next couple of weeks will bring some nice Hero Business BONUSES, as we revamp of for the 6th exciting storyline!
see, this is a major industry problem. you start wearing tights and using a pseudonym and some jackass always crops up to oppose you in every way
made my days as The Baker kinda annoying facing down the scourge of the Overly-Picky Old Lady…
Now THAT’S what I call a twist.
What a tweest!
and I love the vaguely romantic overtones our lovely little evil intern applies to the concept of finding one’s nemesis.
its adorable, isn’t it?
Live from Walko Tower, eh? I guess I have to write a webcomic so I can get a building named after me! Maybe a sports arena — the Tygerdome has a nice ring to it… 😉
Tygerdome sounds like an event stadium for all the were-cat and feline-themed characters. ; )
We had such fun doing this. Simmons didn’t know the comic beforehand even though I’ve been reading for years. But when I gave him the script he DID his homework. I was amazed how much of Bill’s style he captured.
Yeah for Simmons! 😀
I so want to see this epic battle between Major Spoiler and The Plot Twister. And in taking a page from Glove and Boots, I’d like to see them fight with pool noodles!
Oh, yeah. Plot Twister’s a keeper.
He’s sure to pop up again when you least expect him. ; )
Now, why would Trixie be falling from the top of Walko Tower? Would the powerful occupant of the top penthouse floor have thrown her off? Bill, why?!
Walko neither confirms nor denies such allegations. ; )
