I drew the background in the first panel with the intent of invoking a sort of ‘Gunfight at the OK Corral’ feel. You should imagine this scene happening in slow motion with some dramatic showdown music playing on the soundtrack.
Henchmen for Hire
a webcomic in a world of Superheroes and Supervillains by Jeff Langcaon
Ya know I’m realy starting to like Maga Mime
yay, we can comment again. Man, the Mime is bad ass!
…and I still have idea how this is going to end! On a related note, I’m definitely going to buy the comic book once the current plot line is completed and purchasable. Otherwise, it just seems incomplete.
The mime attacks are Awesome. He is one tough opponent.
Fear the Mega Mime!
Just discovered this comic yesterday and am reading everything. Truly awesome. As a former mime, I take some exception to the way MegaMime is portrayed here. I true mime would not shoot with his fingers, but would hold a mimed gun. Fingers cannot actually hold bullets, but an invisible gun can. I’m nitpicking. Great comic. Am really enjoying it.
His hand actions should have mimed something like a machine gun, not pistols. Maybe a rocket launcher act and grenades would do nicely.
In all I can think of only 3 heroes that were silent, The Silent Knight (for those who remember this classic series), Killjoy (a print comic once off that was silly and fun) and now Mega Mime. I agree with everyone else, we definitely need to see more of him. He’s one of the most original characters I’ve seen in a long time. (And no, I don’t mean because he’s silent. Or at least not only that.)
This comic is so awesome. But I still think you should redraw the buildings in the first shot. It has so much potential to be a great piece of art.
