BGH#500 Bring On The Bad Guys
theRedDeath on June 23, 2011
What did you expect from a comic called “Bad Guy High”?
This page is really more of an epilogue, projecting the paths these characters and this world will go on into the future. I apologize if anyone here feels this is a kind of “cliffhanger”, because that’s not really the truth of it. The truth is that this is a comic called “Bad Guy High”, it’s always been about the bad guys, and in that story…the bad guys win.
Though there are obviously threads here that hopefully I’ll pick up again in another webcomic, but for now I make no promises. If I ever do another comic, it’s not going to happen tomorrow. Buuuuut the exception to that is Crossoverkill. Which hopefully you’ve been reading. If you notice SuperpowerGirl has taken on a new costume for this final page, thanks to SuperDan’s pep-talk. She wore this costume in the early pages of Crossoverkill. Which should tell you that Crossoverkill takes place AFTER the events of Bad Guy High . If you’re dying to know what happens to the world of Bad Guy High, it might be a good idea to follow Captain Perfect’s adventure against the Doppleganger Gang.
I also want to say that I WILL be putting up a few “afterward” updates on THIS comic site, just to explain a few things and put in some last words. No actual new comic “pages”, but just my explanations and musings; revealing some of the behind the scenes secrets of BGH. So look forward to that, and don’t take BGH out of your bookmarks just yet.
And now for the gooshy stuff….
This is the end of the 7+ year journey I started in my senior year of high school, along with my friend the very REAL Evan. Like many webcomics it began as an in-joke between friends, but went on to have a life of its very own and forge what is more or less a legitimate story. I’m very happy to have done this project for so long, and to have had it as a personal safety rail as I grew into adulthood. Bad Guy High was a practice that allowed me to develop as an artist, a way to express myself creatively, and at times even an outlet to air my more personal issues and cope with some of the harder periods of my young life. To have something like that, something that you made yourself and yet is miraculously appreciated by so many others at the same time is a tremendous gift. As silly as this little webcomic is, I don’t know where or who I’d be today without Bad Guy High.
So to the friends that inspired me, to the family that supported me, and to the fans that stuck by me: I thank you all.
As with every “100th” page, I now more than ever ask that those who don’t usually post in the comments please do, and share your thoughts on Bad Guy High.

I was away for a bit but just caught up on the last issue. As someone who started reading BGH when it first posted on DD and followed it all the way through, this was truly epic and I am looking forward to whatever you do next man, it will be awesome! Thanks a lot for a hell of a ride.

well considering the name we should have known it'd end that way.

Thank you for the art. I've been reading this since the beginning and it's always entertained me. I could go on a very lot longer.. but the simple fact is, I am glad you shared this with us. Again, thank you.

Very nice Comic. Thank you for all the good times.

I don't know what to say, it's been quite a journey. You've inspired me in both my comic and real life. So, congrats on successfully creating Bad Guy High. Peace - peter ps: I thought BGH ended kind'of abruptly, probably just me though.

okay, so it has been a very interesting comic, and I am happy to put it in my faves. I did kinda expect the bad guys to win this time around, with a title like that. I can hardly wait to see what else comes out of your imagination.

THANK YOU. I add my voice to the legion and say, Please, keep writing!

I can't for the life of me remember when exactly I found this, but I do remember putting it in my 'faves' right away. Even the purely joke characters have always been well thought out and have a little more to them than you first expected. I will miss this comic and I'll be waiting semi-patiently for the next project you start. I would like to know who the other characters there in that 5th panel are. Obviously SuperpowerGirl and Captain Perfect, but I can't quite place anyone else. Oh, and as always, awesome page.

Great job Dan! It's been a blast reading all these years. ;) Hopefully it won't be too long before your next comic or similar artistic endeavor.

Thank you.

A hilariously off-kilter ending to an amazing comic! It's great that Evan gets the last laugh! Thanks again, theRedDeath! It was an honor and a pleasure reading BGH!

I've been a fan of this for over 5 years, and it has been a wonderful ride. A great ending to an equally great comic. Good luck to any of your future ventures and projects.

An awesome ending to an awesome story and an awesome comic.
Pipo at 6:26AM, June 25, 2011
Good end for a good Comic. A good mix of many cartoons of influences that affected our lives. Would have commented more but as usual time. Why is there no reference to the "Dolphin and Friends Cheese Crackers" in the end?

awsom

Interesting ending, oviously Super Dan will return and beat there assess. I'm even sure Evan might turn Hero, maybe. Because in this comic Evan was forced into the Hero role again and again. And the greatest hero's are those who are forced to take the mantel.

Wow man. It's been a long ride, wasn;t it? I must say that it was your comics that introduced me to the Drunk Duck. I don't even remember how did I found it, but the humor immiediately dragged me in. After several pages I started to really enjoy not only jokes but story you wanted to tell. I really loved to see your art improving into one of the best I seen on the Internet. Even during the darkest arcs (Devoid) the story was always enjoyable. I will miss that comics and look foward your next projects, hope you will announce them here, so I won't miss them. Good luck and best wishes. God Of War.

Before you stop paying attention, before the throngs of fans dwindle to a trickling few... I would like to simply state, THANK YOU FOR THE ART. Bravisimo.

It's been so great following this through the years. I think I started reading somewhere around when you started did page 200, and I've always been blown away by how much you've outdone yourself. You really are an amazing artist and writer, and I've thoroughly enjoyed sticking with you all this time. You were the only comic that I actually consistently came back to check. I'm sad that Bad Guy High is ending, but I'm glad that I'm here to see it end. I'm glad that I discovered this comic, and I appreciate the work you've done to keep us constantly entertained. Thank you, Dan.
