Like, I for real toiled over the idea that the U.N.C.L.E. soldiers on All-Girl Earth would have a feast in the honor of U.N.C.L.E. Doug; the <b>ONE MAN </b>that fought in the battle against the Squid-Face Nazis while dozens (100s?) of female U.N.C.L.E. soldiers died in that same battle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I rationalized as: U.N.C.L.E. Doug & Monkey Squad One helped defeat the Squid-Face Nazis on a planet that wasn't even theirs. The All-Girl U.N.C.L.E. Soldiers are honorable bad-asses & respect U.N.C.L.E. Doug's sacrifice in their war.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And no one said that they didn't have all kinds of feasts in the honor of all of the lady soldiers that were killed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mostly I just wanted to convey that a year had gone by and that Connor (and as we later find out, Brendan) is still upset about U.N.C.L.E. Doug's death & being stranded on All-Girl Earth.</div>

How about that cover? One reviewer said the thing in the middle looked like it might be a piece of shit. Another said the cover was some clouds and a couple of triangles (or something to that effect).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Monkey Squad One Annual #2 was such a big project that I recruited the help of my best friend Joe Metro. After I finished all of the artwork, Joe organized & ran a successful Kickstarter campaign. We were funded in less than 24 hours and ended up going $1000 over our goal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The following Special Features are all things I drew that weren't for the issue itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like that image above was the main promo issue for the campaign.</div>

Below is the design for the first-ever Monkey Squad One t-shirt!</div>

I'd like to take this opportunity to make a special announcement:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As of right now, I'm inking & coloring pages for an all-new 8 page story that will be featured in the upcoming Monkey Squad One Vol. 1 trade paperback collection!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've once again teamed up with Joe Metro & Fatman/littleboy Press to launch a Kickstarter campaign to pay for printing costs on this full comic-size collection of the first seven issues of Monkey Squad One! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've enjoyed MS1, here, on my terrible website, then you owe it to yourself to check out this easy to read version with flippable pages!</div>

I don't wanna talk to much about the last page of <i>Infinite Romantic?</i> because along with being a glimpse into the past, it's also basically a road-map to the end of the series, so I'm just gonna move along!</div>

<i>Fish Girls Don't Cry</i> is probably my favorite story in the Annual. It has no plot points or story progression. Just a little characterization & vomit!</div>

Waaaaay back in 2010, when I was working on MS1 #4, my good friend Peter Von Zur Muehlen helped me out by letting me bounce some story ideas off of him. I decided then that I'd get him in MS1 as a sort-of Doctor Who rip-off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took me 10 issues and 4 years but, it was totally worth it! Current readers know that we see Dr. Von Von Zur Zoom again soon & he'll have a big role as MS1 reaches it's ending!</div>

Along the way, a couple artists had to drop out of the Pin-Up Gallery (which I totally understand as artists are nut-jobs) and Isa was awesome enough to jump right in and hook up this fantastic piece!</div>

In Monkey Squad One issues 10, 11 & 12 I ran a back-up story starring The Flying Burrito Brothers, Seven Bricks Of Fury & The Agents of U.N.C.L.E. titled "Apples & Origins". (You can find them in the archives if you're interested.)</div>

I imagine the relevance of this story is easily missed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, let us travel back to 2010, and the final page from Monkey Squad One #6: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFw7l14HQGChiTew62ybZ38nhYjpZQAclgAlTLjeMbhtWQaLMDuOKM1Vk-JKxQIdQAq9AXjMd8uNWlXu6Q9-06b3xf3sgPyUXr2QXtwA0CYaNe0SQF3FWyfh4wCV-5l0BeZT5bsz4aNEp/s1600/003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFw7l14HQGChiTew62ybZ38nhYjpZQAclgAlTLjeMbhtWQaLMDuOKM1Vk-JKxQIdQAq9AXjMd8uNWlXu6Q9-06b3xf3sgPyUXr2QXtwA0CYaNe0SQF3FWyfh4wCV-5l0BeZT5bsz4aNEp/s1600/003.jpg" height="640" width="420" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, basically, the scene in MS1 Annual #2 is an extension of this scene, but we finally get to meet Professor Metropolis and see him in action. Plus we kind of see why Malcolm Bliss was confused & thought Dr. Metropolis was Professor Metropolis in MS1 #10.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look, if I cared whether or not it was confusing, I wouldn't have done a parallel dimension/time-travel story!</div>

Who is Professor Metropolis?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watchful readers know he first appeared back in MS1 #10 in a flashback with U.N.C.L.E. Kevin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also in MS1 #10 we first met Malcolm Bliss and his giant ant, MonsANTo. And throughout the adventure, Malcolm Bliss kept calling Dr. Metropolis, "Professor Metropolis".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this is the first time we've found out that Professor Metropolis and Malcolm Bliss are from the same Earth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And some readers might've realized that Professor Metropolis & Malcolm Bliss are then from the same Earth as Fake-Future Brendan & his whole crew that Monkey Squad One visited all the way back in issue #3.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I'm not gonna tell you why that matters, though.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'M BACK, BABY!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(unless you're reading this later and to you no time has really passed)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regular readers may have noticed I've been on a bit of a hiatus since June. I was moving & finishing up Monkey Squad One #13!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving was horrible but the new issue turned out great, so it all worked out! As of this post, I'm halfway finished with the pencils on MS1 #14 (and in the living room of our new home!)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, anyway! Monkey Squad One Annual #2!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUK! BUK! BUK! BUK! BUK!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally this issue was all supposed to be fallout from the end of MS1 #12. But I soon realized that the road Monkey Squad One is headed down is awfully dark and it doesn't end until the series finale. So, if there was gonna be anymore opportunity for fun, this may be it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO I HAD A BLAST!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This issue has all the stuff on the cover plus MUCH MORE! Including revelations that go back to the beginning of the series & FURTHER!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was also the issue I did a Kickstarter for with my best friend Joe Metro. It was wildly successful (if you ask me). We made enough extra money to print MS1 #13 and not have to charge anybody for it. Which is exactly how I like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much so, that we've decided to do another Kickstarter soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're gonna try & fund a full size trade paperback collection of Monkey Squad One #1-6 and Annual #1! With an all new cover & 8 page story! I wanna make enough extra money to print a few more issues!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So stay tuned!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And welcome back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And thanks for reading!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dang, dude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this is basically the end of the first half of MS1. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys are stranded on All-Girl Earth with no U.N.C.L.E. Doug and no Hot Rod Time Machine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And A.U.N.T., Fake-Future Brendan & GranMonster have beaten Dr. Metropolis and have Logan & Monkey Force One on the run.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its more depressing than the end of The Empire Strikes Back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Page 24 marks MS1's graduation from an All-Ages to a Mature Audiences mini-comic. Those of you who've read Annual #2 know this for a fact! There's now cussing in MS1!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of Annual #2, that's where you'll find the dramatic conclusion to "Apples & Origins" plus a bunch of other stories that are way more fun than this shit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The back cover was drawn by my good friend, Marcus Kwame Anderson, artist of the incredible SNOW DAZE! Do yourself a favor and read Snow Daze <a href="http://snowdazecomic.com/">here</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm taking a little hiatus from Monkey Squad Monday for a few months! It's no big deal! I'm moving & wrapping up MS1 #13, so I could use a little break before we dive into Anuual #2!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading everybody!</div>
