If today's page were a movie it would cost a hundred bajillion dollars.
Going off of yesterday's post, I want to say that the reason I want to do the “Dan in Hell” story in a separate webcomic/page is because it's a really really dark story. I mean, of course…it's about a guy in hell, so there's no surprise there. But even by BGH standards (and I know BGH can get pretty dark at times) it's a little bit too intense for this comic. And I mean that both as needing to up the rating, but also just some people aren't going to want it in the middle of their “funny” super-hero comic.
I may end up just doing a separate comic/page JUST for that, and leaving the side-stories in BGH-main. I don't know yet. I haven't decided.
But if I DID do a separate side-comic, it wouldn't affect the way BGH-main updated.
nyce comic. I just wasted my antire afternoon reading it start to finish. No regrets. Exept the whole "Making the cutest charcter in the story die/mutate/explode multiple times." that bothers me. Poor SuperDan|!
Doesn't that upgrade make the 'Alternative Mode' a bit dangerous..?
Love the last panel - if expanded on, it might make a good poster... 'Cloudy with chance of DanBalls'? (No pun or innuendo intended that time)
Finally, not so sure about Pandora's shading in the penultimate panel. There's no single light source, which could be due to explosions all around her, but her face looks as though it has a massive dent/crease in it... :S
Nice Akira thing. Sorry no one noticed.
So, how long 'till Dan is back and kicking? I hope it doesn't take another year.
And, if The Ressurrection of SuperDan would change your rating, you really should post it separately. It would hurt the regular fans who aren't old enough and care about that to have it suddenly gone up. Don't laugh, they exist. Or so I heard.
But the main reason for the separatedness to be important would be the new readers. If you start reading a comic with a "Mature" rating and the parts that justify such rating start popping up after 400 pages, would you not be angry? Or give up halfways?
It's hard for me to think of Dan as the antagonist. He seems to be one of the most moral characters despite the fact he does make huge mistakes.
Also I really like Dan, he is one of my favorite characters in BGH!
@Kroatz: I used to have my E-mail in the author's notes, but got rid of it when I redesigned the site. Maybe I should put it back. Anyway, it's theRedDeath888@gmail.com
@M_Northstar: The thing about Dan in BGH, is the reason he seems so front and center is because he's really the antagonist to the story. Even though he doesn't know it or mean it, he's the force constantly working against Evan and the rest of the characters in one way or the other.
And we as an omniscient audience get to see that transition in him, even though he has the best intentions.
So it's kind of like watching Anakin in the Star Wars prequels. I mean, he seams like a protagonist at the time, but the truth at the end of the day is that he's really the problem.
Sounds like you have the right idea there, Dan. The reasons you name are entirely valid, plus it sounds like the kind of story you're talking about would need its own pacing and premises to be well told, and would just be hampered by the conventions of the lighter main story. As long as a version of that story is also told in BGH, kind of a Dan In Hell Lite version, since its so important to the plot and the character development.
Apropos which, did you always intend for Dan to be such a big part of BGH, or did he grow after the fact?
*blink... blink...* Well! that was unexpected.
Put that way, I can definitely see your point about a separate page.
Forecast calls for: Scattered showers of purple man-goo. So keep those Wellies handy!
Nice explosion and i think will be back to himself without the purpleness because his future self was alive and not purple
it be cool to see what happened to Dan in hell
I didnt know that people had an atomic frequency,
I wonder if Pandora will survive the Fall, and if SuperDan is an energy being now shouldnt he able to reform himself like that guy from the watchmen or Majin Buu from dragon ball, Surprise with the among of work you do in the comic you havent submitted to zuda or something like that and used your fanbase to win

@theRedDeath Darn. You write far better "fall of the hero" stories then Lucas does.

So this is like what the second time Dan has died? Or maybe with his soon to be seen events in hell(i hope) he is immortal to some extent.

Wow. But I guess that won't really affect SuperDan. He probably can regenerate,right?
