However I did draw these two pages using The Tick, and the script which newenglandcomics.com posted. The other drawings and characters are my own.

Concept art for my idea for
The Legion of Superheroes the Animated Series

They live in Legion Planet, a man made moon sized planet that orbits over future Metropolis.
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/seanstarrunner/LEGIONPAGE32.jpg

character designs, meant to be a combination of Justice League and Teen Titans.
Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Timberwolf, Cosmic Boy,Colossal Boy, Bounce Boy, Mongal (although for the cartoon they would call her by her real name, Candy), Super Boy, and Chamelion, would be just some of the many Legion members on the show.
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/seanstarrunner/legion12.jpghttp://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/seanstarrunner/legion22.jpg

A semi colored version, I always thought Legion lived in a bright and colorful future. happy and sunny blue skys, clean and shiny futuristic technology.

Here are a few random comic book sketches

What if Wolverine didn't escape Weapon X, but was instead sold by Weapon X to Hydra. He, along with Lady Deathstrike and Sabortooth, become their super soldiers.
What if Gambit was rich instead of a theif.

DC's 1602, like Marvel's but with DC characters
1602 Batman
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/batman1602.jpg
After travelling uncharted areas of the world Master Bruce returns to Gothem as the Batman, and using weapons, fighting skills, armor, and other knowledge he brought back, he wages a war on crime and corruption.

1602 Panguin and Inquisitor Dent (or the Two-Faced Man)
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/1602faceandpanguin.jpg

1602 Superman
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/1602Superman.jpg
1602 Superman, who accidentally went back in time.

Blue Beetle redesign
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/bluebeetle1.jpg
After Blue Beetle's death I knew they would bring the character back somehow, so I did a design or two and came up with an idea.
Blue Beetle's friend Dooster Gold, hero from the future, creates a high tech suit like Batman Beyonds. And then maybe after he wears it for a while others can fill in as Blue Beetle and the person in the costume could rotate. The whole face, including the eyes and mouth are covered, and the voice is changed by the suit, so no one can tell who is wearing it.
Booster would decide to honor his dead friend by continuing the Blue Beetle name. I also like the idea they did use.

Brainiac sketches

My ideas for Ultimate Ghost Rider comic, called Ultimate Night Stalkers.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatenightstalkersjpg.jpg
Staring Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, Satanna, Blade and Whister, and Morbius the living Vampire.
Dr. Strange is a wise leader who sort of brings everyone together, him and his daughter Clea, and his apprentice.
Blade is a young man, not the Blade he will become in later years. he is not ass experienced yet. Whister is still training him, he actually fights more on the streets than Blade does right now. But he knows he is slowing down.
Morbius is their informant, he is a sleazy vampire who has no loyalty to anyone not even the Night Stalkers.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ghostrider2copy.jpg
Johnny would be the decendant of the first Ghost Rider, Noble Cane. Johnny finds out he is half demon and can let out his demon side when he transforms into the Ghost Rider.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/satana.jpg
Satanna is a young woman who is possessed by a demon, so actually Satanna is a demon who is in the body of a young woman. She is unnaturally strong, fast, heals faster, is tougher, and can move some things with her mind. She also has slight memmory loss from traveling to Earth from Hell.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/hellstrom.jpg
Their first villian the team fights is Damian Hellstrom, a rich business executive serial killer. As it turns out he too is a demon possessing a human body. He was sent to Earth by his father, Mephisto, to kill 18 people to free his father. He and his sister, Satanna, were sent but she can't remember.

Other villians they face include
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/blackout.jpg
Blackout, a remorsless psychotic killer who killed men, women, the elderly, and children, just for the fun of it before he was turned to a vampire.
He is sent after Johnny Blaze and his family.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/jackolantern.jpg
Jack O' Lantern, a hired assassin who uses very high tech weapons and a halloween based armor. he is hired by a mysterious person and sent after the Ghost Rider.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/wendigo.jpg
The Wendigo, when men and woman eat the flesh of another they are transformed by a curse into this monster. They crave nothing but human flesh and will never quit until they are either stopped or the curse is lifted.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/bellasco.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatebellasco.jpg
Ballisco, the keeper of Limbo. He was trapped here hundreds of centuries ago by Mephisto. He is very clingy and obsessive, very lonely and sad.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatemasterpandamonium.jpg
Master Pandimonium

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatemephisto.jpg
Mephisto, the ultimate Marvel comic's version of the devil. He is the source of all the chaos and destruction in Ultimate Night Stalkers, and father of Satanna and Hellstrom.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/brothervoodoo.jpg
Brother Voodoo, a good friend of Dr. Strange.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/dracula.jpg
Vlad "the Impaler" Dracule. He is the first Vampire, he sends his daughter Lillith out to find the source of the chaos and finds the Night Stalkers. While she is sent to seduce Blade over to their side, she also falls in love with him. The source is Ghost Rider, waking up Johnny's demon side started all the choas and woke Dracula up. He seeks to untie all the vampires and make them rulers of Earth.

Gargoyal, a species hidden from mankind for centuries. a sort of pet to D. Strange
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimategargoyal.jpg

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/gabrielthedevilhunter.jpg
Gabriel the Devil Hunter, a very complicated story. He was just a average man who got married but on his wedding night was forced to murder his wife and rip out his own eye when he was possessed by a demon. He freed himself by buring a cross on his chest. He became a preist and specialized in exersisms. He later left the church when he fell in love for the second time, but she too was killed by a demon. He sunk into a depression of drinking and self destructive behavior. He now hunts demons using both exersisms and guns to detroy them. He meets the Night Stalkers on a mission and sees them as the enemy as well, he teams up with them but does not like them. the first chance he gets he will kill them.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/nightstalkersenemies2.jpg
Knight Hawk, an allie who can see the future but it is never very clear to him. His power has made him a pessimist who refuses to leave his home, but he will try to help others through email.
Damien Hellstrom. Baron Mordo, who is Dr. Strange's rival. He wanted to be Sorcerer Supreme. He has become apprentice to a demonic force instead.
Mr. Hyde, a genetic scientist who was working on the super soldier project, and made himself into a giant roid raged serial killer.
Hannibal King, an average cop and the only average human friend the team has. He is later targeted and turned into a vampire. Blackout.

Night Stalkers is sort of like the other Ultimate comics books, there is probable deniability. The public has no clue what is really going on. it is also based in a Buffy type reality, not a super hero reality.

Their kingdom looks like a mixture of english castles and roman temples, and their technology and kingdom mixes with the wild life around them, not on top of it.

Marvel comic's Redeemers
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/theredeemers.jpg
Dead super villians find that when they die they have one last chance to save their souls. An unknown force, unknown to the villians, pulls them together to do suicide missions in an effort for them to proove that they are truley good people. As they go on mission after mission we see some characters go from monsters to true heroes and others fail and are banished down to what they assume is hell.
The team is lead by Thunderbird, a former X-men who died on his first mission with the team. He was given power to control all the villians who pass through the team, incase one of them tries to revolt which they always do.
Some of the members of the rotating cast include Cyber, Mysterio, Destiny, Turantula, Swordsman, Harry Osborne, Leader, Blizzard, Pyro, Kraven, Baron Blood, Baron Zemo, Living Monolith, Calipso, Mimic, and son on.
I'm thinking eventually Thunderbiord will be given a break and Banshee will replace him as team leader.
The idea is to show growth of character, taking truely repulsive villians and show them become worthy humans. It also is a way to show these characters in a comic again without bringing them back to life.

ULTIMATE DC

Batman, of sorts
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatebatman.jpg
I imagine he would be in all black, even his belt. With reinforced protection, like in the helmet, knee pads, shoulder pads, things like that. Alot like the Batman Begins costume i guess. This is the Batman from Wizard's Ultimate Batman, except with a different costume.

Ultimate Azreal, he is John Paul Valley, heir of the Valley fortune. Bruce meets him at a rich man's club meeting when they were trying to recruit Bruce. Bruce declines, and to the club seals his fate. The club works together to make sure each others stocks go up, and that they all profit. This usually comes around by illegal activities. John Paul doesnt realize but he is their assassin. From a very young age he has been subliminally trained, like his father and his grandfather befpre him. Azreal, as the mantel is called, is the club's personal hitman. and he has been ordered to kill Bruce Wayne, little does he know that Bruce is actually Batman. His weapons of choice are his guns, or "Firey Swords"

Ultimate Killer Croc, thug who was born with reptile like scales made of human skin cells, crocadile like teeth, eyes capable of seeing under water, lungs capable of holding breath longer than a human can, and razor sharp finger and toe nails that are almost like claws. he is also around 7 feet with strength to match. He is sort of like the Croc from the original Batman series.

Ultimate Creeper: Jack Ryder, Anchor man and Journalist, was kidnapped by the Joker. He is tortured, and experimented on by the Joker to turn him into a friend for the Joker. He is injected with the same chemicals, or similar chemicals, that the Joker was injected with to turn him into the Joker. Ryder's skin turns yellowish, his hair turns greenish black, and he dies. Joker dumps his failed experiment in the trash, but Ryder comes back to life, only now he is stronger, faster, more agile, and because of all the torture his mind is unstable. He is almost like a wild animal, he makes few words, and giggles uncontrollabley almost like a Hienna. But he seems to have a scense of right and wrong as he shows up from time to time to help Batman.

Joker was made with a chemical from Lex Corp called Venom, which was derived from Clark Kent's DNA. Joker was one of several inmates experimented on, but the only survivor. he excaped and has since killed several people to please his deranged sence of humor.

Lex Corp, as part of Project Gilgamesh, started their cloning program. Using Clark's DNA he created batches of clones, including his own DNA in a few. Captain Marvel is one of those clones, in the same batch is Black Atom, and Power Girl. In an earlier and unsuccessful batch was Bizarro, who is locked in the labs of Lex corps never to be released. While Captain Marvel was meant to be a publicity stunt like the Teen Titans, the idea was pushed under ground. Captain Marvel, Power Girl, and Black Atom, are super covert agents for Lex Luther. They move so fast that no one knows about them, except maybe clark. Captain Marvel is the only one out of the three successful clones that is starting to question his creators.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatehourmen.jpg
the Hour Men, as a part of Project Gilgamesh, Lex used Clark's DNA to create a chemical called Venom which was meant to make a man as powerful as Superman. After several failures, Joker, Bane, and others, the Hour Men were created. But their abilities only lasted for an hour, and some became addicted to the chemical, like Bane did to the venom that boosted his strength. Despite these minor flaws, as Lex puts them, the "Hour Men" are his personal SWAT Team. They all wear identical protective battle armor suits and timers on the inside of their wrists on their gloves t let them know when their powers will be gone. The pour out of vans and helicopters when lex calls on them. They are the Lex Corp soldiers that the public knows about.

Ultimate Plastic Man
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateelasticman.jpg
Plastic Man was a career criminal set up on a job with three other career criminals he didn’t know. Their mission was to steal four vats of highly experimental and possibly deadly chemicals from the testing facility of Luther Corp’s labs. The chemical was a distant variation of the chemical Venom, but had since been changed so much that it was something completely new. The job was nearly a failure, not because of the soon to be Plastic Man, but because of one other guy. The criminals turned on each other; maybe there was a violent argument on what to do with the chemicals now that they had it. Maybe they were considering selling it to the highest bidder, or using it themselves, or simply giving it to the guy who paid them so he won’t kill them. Maybe it ended in gun fire with only Plastic Man left standing, or maybe the other three were killed in all the gun fire. Plastic Man was hit several times but was still alive. The chemicals were hit too and spilled all over the ground of the warehouse they were hiding in. They healed him and turned his body into an organic rubber material. He could stretch his body in unbelievable ways. Being a criminal he used this power for crime, it helped him also protect himself from the mob boss he was hired by to steal the chemicals. Since he didn’t die and didn’t give him the chemicals he was targeted by the mob. He had run ins with super heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Something turned his life around, maybe it was he had three strikes against him and needed to keep out of crime to avoid going to Arkham or worse, maybe Luther was after him to test on him and joining the Justice League was the only way to get protection. Or maybe he actually is trying to turn his life around for a lame reason. But whatever the reason Plastic Man, the former criminal turned super villain, became a super hero and joined the Justice League. He was never a true member, only part of it like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were part of the Ultimates. He was never publicly shown with the team, no pictures of him or mention of him, he was never seen in battle. He was sort of back up for the rest of the team, and absolutely no one on the team trusted him. Everyone was watching him at all times, especially Batman and Superman. He was allowed on the team because of his power, indestructible and stretching, his powers were a great asset to the team.
Plastic Man is the same wacky guy from the other comic. He can’t help himself having the powers he has, the only difference is that he is looked at by everyone as a former villain.

In the morning he is back to normal with only the memories haunting him and an incomplete pentagram on his chest. The more he lets go of his control the more monsterous he becomes.

The Fantastic Five.
Logan was along with the other four when they took their trip. He was a long time freind of Ben's from the old days. When Doom dropped out suddenly they needed another to take his place.
Logan was unknowingly a mutant. the cosmic rays mutliplied his mutant powers a million times over. His healing powers became so strong he is almost immortal. His bones became an unbreakable metal, and the lcaws he didnt know he had became metal as well. His animal insticts grew as well and Logan became more aggresive. But what he didnt know was he became this way because of the power cosmic which now is inside him.
Doom, obsessed with power and jealous that he didnt get any because he didnt go, targets the Five. That is until he learns that Logan holds the most power inside him.

These are more Exiles character idea.

from the possible Exiles characters and ideas.
The Frightful Four.
Evil Sue, or Malice, and evil Johnny or Pyro or something like that.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/evilsueandjohnny.jpg
and Evil Ben or the Creature. or abomination, something that lowers his self asteem.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/evilben.jpg
The Frightful Four arent the loving family that they are in the Fantastic Four. Sue is constantly having affairs with Namor, Dr. Doom, Black Panther, and Ben. Reed is an egotistical jealous monster who uses Ben and hates his family and Sue. And constantly tries to kill them, which is how they were all transformed (He perpously didnt make the sheilds of the ship stronger). he once stole Sue's powers so that he could be the most powerful one in the group. And he killed Dr. Doom, his old College roomate, and Namor the Atlantis King.
Johnny is a fire bug he loves buring down things and people, he is constantly using Ben and mistreating him.
and Ben is an monsterous creature with incredible strength and the lowqest intellegtence imaginable.

Knights of the Atomic Table
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/knightsoftheatomictable1.jpg
During WWII the Government put together a think tank made up of Reed Richards, Jannet Pym, her Husband Hank Pym, Victor Von Doom, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner. Ech were experts in different fields of science, and their goal was to create the ultimate weapon to end the war and defeate the enemies of America.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/knightspart2.jpg
Reed was an expert in all fields of science but especially in Atomic structure and genetics. Janet was an expert in genetics chemistry, and Hank created a formula that allowed a person to shrink and grow. He also worked in robotics. Victor was an expert in weaponry, robotics, and circutry. Tony Stark was also a expert in robotics, and circutry, he had been supplying America with weapons for years, and was experimenting with nano technology. Bruce Banner was an expert in genetics, radiation, and human mutations. They combined their skills and helped create a weapon, but the Government felt it was too dangerious and the war was nearing its end. The project was terminated moments before its completion.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/riseofapocalypse.jpg
each of the scientists went their seperate ways, Hank Pym became jobless. His growth formula never worked. He started drinking and being abusive to his wife, which lead to their divorce. Now feeling depserate Hank finishes the only thing that ever was successful in his life. He activates the Super Soldier the Knights had made during WWII.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/apocalypse.jpg
But the being went on a path of destruction, its goal was to cause death and to rule over the survivors. SHEILD, the Governments special protection agency was called in. Specifically Agent Steve Rogershe was joined by his reporter friend "Bucky Barnes.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/steveandbucky.jpg
Steve was ordered to reunite the Knights so that they could help figure out how this thing woke up and find a way to stop this monster. At this time no one knew Hank had activated it.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/wherearetheynow.jpg
Steve discovered that Reed Richards was working with NASA and still contributed to SHEILD. Victor Von Doom had returned to Latvia and took his rightful place on the throne after his mother's death. Janet went onto teaching advanced genetics at a college. Tony Stark's company still contributed to SHEILD's weapons but Tony was no longer attatched to them. He had since gone into hiding, living as a recluse. Bruce Banner went onto experimenting for America's government using radioactive chemicals to create a super soldier. He had turned himself into a near unstoppable hulking beast thast killed hundreds. Steve was among the many SHEILD agents who stopped him. He has since been locked away in SHEILD's prison. He acts like a Hannibla Lextor character, very creepy but very knowledgeable. And his eyes still glow with green radiation. He also found Hank Pym, who confessed the whole thing. That it was all his fault.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/thefight.jpg
The reunited Knights decided the best course of action was to create a super soldier to fight the creature calling itself Apocalypse. They used Steve. He became stronger, faster, more adgile, and tougher. The Knights gave him the uniform they had made during WWII for their super soldier that never got a chance to wear it, along with a special armored sheild created by Stark and Doom. They called him Captain America.
Steve jumped into the fight but it didnt take long for the Apocalypse to get the upper hand. Fearing that Steve would be killed the Knights came to help. using their inventions that had been locked away for years they tried to distract the Apocalypse. But it was Hank Pym who ended up helping the most. Using the growth formula hank grew giant and took on the monster himself. But he still was no match for the Apocalypse, Hank Pym collapsed. But that gave Steve the advantage he needed and defeated the monster once and for all. Hank had died saving America.
Steve went on to serve SHEILD as the patriotic super soldier Captain America, and the Knights went went back to being SHEILD's Think Tank. They help Captain America on his missions and protect America.

Ultimate JSA
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateJSA1.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateJSA2.jpg
Ultimate JSA: Sometime during World War II a covert team of super heroes were put together to aid in the war. Their missions were secret, as were their identities. No files were kept and no photos were ever taken. They officially didn’t exist let alone work for the Government. Their story was kept silent, forgotten until this day.
Most citizens believed them to be myths and superstition anyway, few had actually ever seen them. It was the same reaction when they were enlisted. Soldiers who met them thought they were publicity stunts, like they thought captain America was in the Ultimates story, the others who hadn’t seen them thought it was a rumor being passed around to help boost moral. Even fewer actually saw them in action, their orders were to move in and move out keeping a low profile. And since this was war they did have to kill enemy soldiers, like Ultimate Captain America.
This was very easy for one of their super soldiers, Jay Garret, I think was his name. He was code named the Flash. He had the super ability to run faster than the speed of light. He could run so fast it was nearly impossible to see him in the fight. His soldier’s uniform was customized to help him be fast, and the design also helped for when people did see him. His shirt was bright red and had a yellow lighting bolt on it; if anyone ever did see him they would surly assume they were seeing things. This Flash is the grandfather of the current Flash. He passed the mantel of the Flash to Barry after Barry’s inactive abilities he inherited from his grandfather were activated by the Venom in Luther Labs. Barry converted the costumes design and became the new Flash. Flash is the average Joe on the team, he may run fast but he just a regular guy fighting alongside gods.
Jay, if that’s his name, is also equipped with army weapons and supplies. He uses guns, grenades, and anything else he is given.
Maybe his code name is Johnny Quick, and not Flash. Barry comes up with the name flash, but the costume and the fastest man alive mantel is passed to Barry.
The second team member was a soldier named Allan Scott, a man who possessed a ring that allowed him to make his imagination come to life. Allan was a railroad worker who found the ring one day. Little did he know that the ring had actually chosen him. When asked what code name he was using the ring told him Green Lantern. Since the ring takes a lot of energy and concentration from the wearer, and since he didn’t know about the GL corps, Allan didn’t really have a costume. Allan is the veteran super hero. He swoops in with his ring and is prepared for anything. He isn’t the leader, but he isn’t inexperienced either.
The final member was actually the leader. She was an Amazon from the island of Themascara, and her daughter would later come to “Man’s World” as a spy for the Amazons. She code named her Wonder Woman. She came to Man’s world under the guise that she was sent to teach man how to live in peace. Perhaps it wasn’t a guise at all. But because of all the death, hate, murder, rage, and fighting, she saw during the war she believed that Man’s World was evil. Which is why she later sent her daughter to spy, and similar to their island thought the best solution was to kill off all the men. Wonder Woman was like Namor was in the Invaders. She acted sort of snobby and above it all. But she was a born leader and warrior, and seemed to care about helping.
As the mission went on, and because they were sort of isolated for anyone else, the team grew closer. Flash and Green Lantern became best friends. Wonder Woman began to truly care for her two teammates, and the rest of Man’s World. But a final mission would change all that. Her costume was very similar to the Golden Age costume, mixed with the Ultimate version Wizard created. She was red white and blue, and had some Amazonian armor and weapons, including swords and a shield and lasso.
They were banded together to simply fight for America but later it was discovered that the Nazis were trying to created their own super soldiers, and were getting very close. One mission they were sent on was to rescue a Sgt. Rock who was captured. Their mission was to infiltrate the lab fortress and destroy it and anything or anyone that could rebuild the project. But little did they know that one soldier was already complete.
Their final battle would be against the Captain Nazi.
In the end Allan Scott, Earth’s original Green Lantern, died fighting the Captain Nazi. His stopped the Nazi and destroyed any possibility of recreating him, but it also turned Wonder Woman into the Man’s World hater that she took back the her island. Maybe there was a possible love story there or almost was one. The only one who ever new about any of this was Flash who kept it secret until this day, when he told his grandson Barry.
And like I stated earlier, Barry later took up the mantel of the Flash, a new Green Lantern was chosen from Earth, and Dianna Troy became the new Wonder Woman and she later saw that Man’s World was not evil and decided to fight for it and not against it.

Villains Redeemed
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i129/needhamsart/VillainsRedeemedcomicpagecopy.jpg

It was an idea I submitted to Platinum Comics for their comic contest, but they had clitches and they didn't see my stuff. And even though I submitted way before their submission due date, they probably never even saw my stuff.
But here it is.

The idea is that these are dead villains put together on a team, lead by a dead super hero, in order for them to redeem their souls. It would be a study in character, watching a monsterous villain like the Joker become a true hero like Superman. Its my idea for the dead Marvel villians using my own characters.

The comic page shows Z-Ray, a villian who JUST died, and wakes up in the midst of a big fight. He sees all these dead villians fighting goblins.
The team leader, MASSIVE MAN, tells Z-Ray to help. Z-Ray says forget it, and MASSIVE MAN is forced to use his mystic powers he was given to keep the team inline.

Z-Ray is a tribute to Mitch Hedberg who had a joke about how the letter X is used way too much. Like in Xylaphone, and he syas if you disagree you need to have your head Z-RAYED.

But like I said the idea was rejected by Platinum Comics.

Its the Fantastic Four versus the Fantastic Five.
And who are the Fantastic Five, four middle aged average men and one special member.

The dialogue reads:
"You Fantastic Four think your unstoppable, don't you?"
"Well meet the fifth member of the Fantastic Five!"

This was a little joke idea I have been kicking around, me and some friends were talking about it in figure drawing.
The hard part was the layout, figuring out how to set up the scene. Looking back I might, and probably will, lay it out a little different for the first few panels.

This is a Family Guy story board test,
They gave me the script for the scene, a character packet including background and props (thats where the house came from), real quick thumbnails of the scene, and a DVD of Seth Mc Farlene's favorite episodes.
I am posting it since it already aired, it was also not used.
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/house.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/fam_212.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/fam_312.jpg

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/story_board_three312.jpg

The script went something like:
Peter and Quagmire are setting up fire works in his backyard while Lois, and the rest of the family watch.
Lois: "Peter, I don't think this is a good idea."
Peter"Come on Lois, you sound just like Einstien when Luis and Clark drove the Millenuim Falcon Across the Sahara desert."
Lois: "What?"
Peter: "Precisely Lois, precisely."

Then there was this big scene with Meg and Chris. Meg is sitting by the back of the house. Chris has some fire works. He starts throwing them at Meg and she runs around the tree and into the house. Chris then throws some at the door. I lost those pics, but I'll post the ones I find.

[invinciblewombat]

you have some very cool stuff going on here and I'm surprised you haven't gotten more comments. Out of everything you have here i would have to day that your figure drawings in the first post are my favorite. they seem to have a lot more life and rhythm in them than all of the comic work. You clearly have a lot of practice in comic book characters and i think the various redesigns are really done well and with a lot of research and though put into them (I never knew brak was supposed to be a cat :P). One thing though you may want to branch out and experiment instead of drawing the same type of thing over and over again, even if it's just making up some of your own superheros instead of mixing and matching existing ones. Overall some cool things going on here, and I'm glad there's someone else who likes the tick still around.

[Needham]

Thanks for the comment, I wish more people would comment too. I do have my own characters but I am copyrighting them right now. Don't want to give anyone an opportunity to take them.
