Ninja and Pirate

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! HERE’S A COMIC! NOW GET OFF MY PORCH!

This week’s comic may or may not be based on an actual argument between me and my good buddy Garrett. The people behind the counter may also be based on those individuals. Seriously though, I do hate Superman. I could go on a huge rant about this but I doubt you’ll want to hear it. It basically boils down to he’s an unrelatable character who is never in any sort of peril and is about as entertaining and charismatic as a brick wall. Want a good DC character? Batman. Batman is the pinnacle of comics. A great take on the Superman mythos is in J. Michael Straczynski and Gary Frank’s amazing Supreme Power books. They’re a more realistic take on Marvel’s Justice League (i.e. the Squadron Supreme) and they’re phenomenal. I’m also more of a Marvel man than a DC-ite. DC characters just don’t have those flawed human characteristics that Marvel’s do. For Marvel, their characters are super second and human first and that’s what I like about them. I love the duality characters such as Hulk and Ghost Rider, and the paradox characters like Beast, Nightcrawler, and Daredevil. I’d love to hear your opinions on super comics or comics in general too! Leave ’em in the comments, true believers!

Some of you may be first time viewers! If you are then I’m sorry. One of us has to stay up on this asteroid and light the fuse and it’s you. Unless Bruce Willis shows up, of course, but I doubt he reads this comic. Anyway, here’s a link to the first comic in this storyline: LINK TO SOMETHING HORRIBLE. We’re glad to have you here and I hope you enjoy!! You can leave thoughts, concerns, questions, fan and hate mail at ninja_pirate_comic@yahoo.com or stalk me and things I say via Twitter @ninjaandpirate!

Keep check­ing back every week to see the adven­tures of Ninja and Pirate each and every Wednes­day. Except that one Wednesday. You know the one I mean. Tell your friends to see it as well because you are interested in it and if they don’t share you’re interests then they are clearly aliens in disguise and should be dealt with extreme prejudice. The more read­ers I have means the more often I can post comics. If I get enough inter­est gen­er­ated in this comic I can start pro­duc­ing mer­chan­dise for you all, and if start mak­ing enough income from this comic I can increase the num­ber of comics to maybe, in time, five per week! I would love to just do comics for you lovely peo­ple, plus it would make the story lines go a lot faster! So tell your friends and loved-ones about Ninja and Pirate and have them do the same! Everybody wins (except for the aforementioned aliens).

I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out the mobile site and its issues for why some fine folks can’t see the comic on their fancy screens. No progress yet so those in the know are wel­come to include me please. All I know is that on ye olde iPhone at least you can hit the ‘Reader’ but­ton in the search bar and get the comic vis­i­ble. I don’t know how it works on Droids or Black­Ber­rys or Cyber­netic Uplinks but I know it at least works that way on Apple’s license to print money phone. Anybody with any knowledge or info feel free to download those brain cells into my digital brain cell reading device at ninja_pirate_comic@yahoo.com.

Enjoy the semi-new links page! In it is a bunch of links that lead to some fan­tas­tic web­comics and blogs that I fre­quent and are well worth your time! The blogs are both edu­ca­tional and amus­ing and the comics are some of the best pro­fes­sional and indie stuff out there. Some of the comic artists even know what they are doing! That’d be a nice change of pace, huh?

I have a deviantart account under the name JMFlan­ders and it has a bunch of my other work on it. Work that’s dras­ti­cally dif­fer­ent from Ninja and Pirate, so be warned. Give it a glance if you want. You’ll find Fan Art, Con­cep­tual Work, and some pretty twisted mon­ster designs! I’m open for com­mis­sions too! You can also fol­low me under the name @ninjaandpirate on Twit­ter! That way you can see my twits in public and it’s totally legal this time! On an unrelated note, I apologize to the nuns who saw my public twits the other day.

Anyway, I hope you guys like the comic so far. Remember to keep those on the East Coast in your thoughts and punch every person named Sandy you meet just in case they’re in league with this Hurricane Wizard. See ya next round!
