a few months back, just post TCAF, i and a handful of others webcomics creators were approached to develop some ideas for new webcomic content for zuda based on existing dc comics properties. we were given free reign as to who to choose from… so i naturally chose my favourite dynamic duo of mr. miracle and big barda! if we had been given the green light i would have been weaving tales on a weekly basis starring perhaps my all time favourite kirby creations! the stories would have been short arcs outside of continuity.
an awesome idea, nay, dare i say BRILLIANT!
but, unfortunately, like most brilliantly awesome ideas it never saw the light of day.
but if you think the idea has legs feel free to write the fine folks at dc, y’know dan didio or jim lee, and tell them you want ramon perez penning and illustrating the adventures of mister miracle and big barda. hell feel free to tweet them (@jimlee00)a link too!
for another idea left to the cutting room floor visit the talented cameron stewart’s blog.

Absolutely Brilliant, Cameron!
Love it!
Too bad it never happened. But I’m sure it was a great experience just the same.

Ramon, yours and Cameron’s pieces look fantastic. Too bad the project hasn’t yet come to fruition. If there ever was an online presence like this it would have been a prefect place for mine, J Bone and Jay Stephens’ Wonder Twins idea too. What might/could be makes me misty. On the upside, more time for Kukuburi to kick ass!

OH HELL, this is what people were talking about. Damn, sir…this is really cool.
