AE: As my friend, and Chief Banana, Jim pointed out - the RISE OF THE NAIL BITER is actually planned as a quadrilogy (4 epic comics total). And let me tell ya.....from what I've seen so far of LOB 5....it's going to be the hottest Bounce Chix adventure yet. Stay tuned, my friend - and thanks so much for all your support.
TJ: LMAO. The Nail Biter in the Flesh? Or the entire "dozens of villains all tied up to evil tickle machines in their evil-undies?" Cuz that reaction would definitely make sense for both. XD - I'll get back to you in a minute.
Kalamos: Holy smokes! What an awesome She-Hulk image. That's fantastic, buddy - look at that. I guess we're simply on the same page. But let's face it....super heroes and villains DO pretty much make the perfect tickle targets. Strong, lithe, haughty femme fatales with powers galore. How fun would it be to see any and all of them reduced to an erotic ball of madly cackling hotness with some fiendish tickle torture. That's a page that's EASY to be on. Amazing illustration - and thanks so much for sharing it on this thread. You rock!
TJ: Okay - back to you, buddy. Thanks tremendously for taking the gamble on LOB 4 - and so thrilled that you enjoyed it so much. Believe me when I say that it's only the beginning for the Biter. This arc is going to be freaking cool as hell. As for the coloring and lettering - thanks a million for saying so. The entire art team took this issue up a notch (which frankly surprised me because LOB 1-3 were incredibly professional, sexy, and awesome). Duarte (the colorist) and Rosto (the Letterist) both did a truly sensational job on this issue. And Churin always does a sensational job - treating every panel like it's a masterpiece. Even Andi's hot little freckles look perfect in LOB 4 (thanks for noticing). And in LOB 5 they look just as sexy.....and you get to see a whole lot more of them.
As for the Biter - she just seemed like the perfect villain to groom into the Bounce Chix nemesis in this series. The credit for that idea actually goes to Jim, in one of our many giddy conversations about the series. he suggested the Biter as a returning villain after we were working on LOB 2, and I wove it into the narrative. Just wait to see what the Biter does in the rest of the arc. Soooooooo mean. SOOOOOOOOO HOT.
And lastly, thanks so much for the comment on the Bounce Chix sexy topless apartment scene. I honestly debated on wether or not to include it in the script. Would it contrast TOO much with the Biter? Would going from the naked sadistic machinations of the Biter to the lingerie-wearing chesty erotic world of the Chix be a harsh transition? But in the end we thought it worked......and as you probably know.....I find few things sexier than the Bounce Chix just being the Bounce Chix. So I'm totally pumped that you enjoyed the scene. Thanks again for all your wonderful support, good buddy.
restif: Wow - thank you so much my friend. That was a truly cool thing to say. I know the art team truly appreciates the support - as do I. **hugs**
Deemon: Awww...you're the best buddy. I'm glad it was a good surprise. I don't usually like to pre-launch comics like this, or if I do I just do it by a week, like FP2. I know when a cool new product that I'm excited about hits the shelves I just want to be able to buy it like IMMEDIATELY. So we decided to take that route with LOB 4. I think you'll like the direction of the next several comics. And I know you LOVE the action with your hot honey, Jane in LOB 5. We're not building all this up for nothing. You remember what the Nail Biter did to her last time, don't you? heh.....I know you do.
And thanks for mentioning your favorite page. I love seeing Hailey tickled like that. The Chix are just too much fun. In fact this arc is going to focus a bit on Hailey since she and the Biter have so much history together. I look forward to bringing out some more of her personality in the next few issues and show you a side of her you've never even dreamed possible. XD
And lastly - thanks so much for mentioning the heroes. Didn't Churin do an INCREDIBLE job designing all those heroic hotties? I promise they'll play an integral role in the next few issues as well. Thanks again, my good friend, for everything.
Druidici: I know, right?! Ticklish Superheroes are HAWT!!
amkes: have you not read the Nail Biter series, buddy? Or are you gonna re-read it? I can't remember if we've talked about it. Yeah...I would think the Biter novels would be RIGHT up your alley. Just don't say her name aloud. As much as you might want a little tickle........I think the Biter might be too much for ya. XD
Dr. Random: You're awesome, my friend. And trust me - your work makes us all want to up our own game as well. I'm very much looking forward to your next release. Churin and Duarte (not to mention Rosto) really are an incredible team. Jim and I waited for years to pursue this franchise for that very reason.......we were basically waiting for Churin and the rest of the team. These guys are pure magic on this series.
Thanks to everyone for all their support on LEGION OF BOUNCE 4!
The feedback has been awesome, and the support is truly appreciated.
Please continue to let us know what you'd like from future issues. We're all working hard on the next comic or 2 as we speak.
For those of you that might not have picked up a copy yet - you should. I promise it's totally worth it.
More to come soon,
B
