Dressed for Success: Doomsday!

Doom comes for us all, including Alex and Walter.

The MCU just got an ECU injection!

If everybody else gets to be in Doomsday, why not Alex & Walter?

Here is a sample of Jeff's progress on a recent page of the upcoming DFS story called Project CosmOs.

Here is a sneak peek at Jeff working on the first page of the next DFS story, which is called “Project CosmOs”.

During the process of working on comic pages for the Cove Creep story, Jeff found it useful to use a Pinterest board where he could collect various image references for things that would appear in the story. Here is a picture showing the multiple references that were used to create the story.

Chris and Jeff always knew they wanted to bring back the character of Philip from the mini-comics run, but when they did, he would have a different look compared to his introduction in issue 13 of the series. Here are some pictures from the design process.

As we reach the end of the Cove Creep story, Chris and Jeff will take a month-long break before the next story. In the meantime, we will share some behind-the-scenes images. Starting with colour scheme ideas for Alex and Walter’s new clothes.

Dressed for Success comic by Chris Howard & Jeff Wasson Panel 1: Philip is seen jumping out of the lifeguard seat and onto the beach with excitement. PHILIP Before anyone starts complaining about sand in their shoes. Why don’t we just get to the point? Shall we? Panel 2: PHILIP [pointing to Casey and Goobie-Doo] When we first arrived, your clever companion there had found an ‘interesting stick’. Which was actually a surveying tool used to take soil samples and such. Panel 3: PHILIP [pointing to Heather] This young lady and her phone’s photograph gave us the creature. Panel 4: PHILIP The complaints of strange lights and smells on the beach told us where to look, and the communication problems pointed to the tower above the bluffs here. Panel 5: PHILIP And your mayor has been trying to distract and deflect anyone from digging deeper. Panel 6: PHILIP: Someone has been surveying the area, stirring up the seabed and has hacked into your communications array.
