Comic Preview: The Full Party (Patreon)

Did you know you can actually get a degree in drawing comics? Back in college, we got a penciling assignment for a funeral scene from an X-Men run from the 80's, and the challenge of the assignment is that a particular panel at the funeral states 'all the X-Men are there' and we had to go through the X-Men archives to figure out which characters were alive at the time and could actually be attending.  The research was interesting and I learned a lot about some really random characters who I'd never heard of, but the actual assignment sucked--crowd scenes have never been my favorite to draw, especially when you need enough detail for each person in the crowd to be recognizable.

I guess what I'm saying is 'Thanks for writing this one, Colin.  I love squishing 9 characters into a single tiny panel.'
