Welcome reader!

You may have found yourself here through the Collective of Heroes website/widget. If so, please feel free to check out the eight previous issues of Vanguard before getting stuck in here!

MaXtreme is a total arsehole/scumbag. Will he get his come comeuppance for deplorable actions? I’m sure readers are hoping so.

The calendar I worked on with AP2HYC is now on sale! It’s packed with ‘geeky’ dates and info about release dates of upcoming films. It can be purchased from Pikcal HERE.

Over the the past few days, I have had chance to set up an account on Patreon. If you enjoy this comic, please consider dropping a few quid/bucks to help fund it’s creation. I’ve set up some great rewards and will be posting exclusive sneak peeks at up coming pages and future character designs often over there. I’m also working on producing a series of ‘Comic Art SFX’. It’ll be a bi-weekly tutorial series on how to achieve certain looks/effects with your comic art. It’ll be open to suggestions, so if you wish to see something in particular, as a Vanguard Patreon, you can request it. Cool, eh>

It looks like it could be all over for KingSword. Running at half strength and no match for his opponent, he took the fight to MaXtreme regardless. Now, confronted with the dead/dying Godiva… what can he possible do?

To all you regular readers, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to hear we’re back to the two updates a week now. Hooray!

What will MaXia do here? Do the ‘right thing’ and let Gradlon go, or succumb to the threats and domination of MaXtreme? Find out Friday!

Also, if you vote on Top Webcomics, can I ask you to add Vanguard to your list of favorites and bung us a vote or two? Thanks!

Is this battle lost? Hern certainly thinks so… and convinces Woden to bug out with him.. But who is this child that Hern has referred too? All will be revealed!

Apologies for the one page a week updates. November is my busiest time of year, working late/starting early. Should be back to two updates a week shortly.

Gradlon has rudely shattered X-Bow’s Social Media strategy. So selfish!

Apologies for the one page a week updates. November is my busiest time of year, working late/starting early. Managed two last week, but it was a real push and I don’t think page 25 was one of the better one’s I’ve ever produced.

Anyway, enough of that BS, back to the ACTION! X-Bow is happily shooting away from the rooftops, picking of British troops at leisure… but her use of Social Media looks like it’ll prove to be her undoing. Well, if Gradlon has anything to do with it, that is!

Gradlon gets up to speed… before heading off after X-Bow!

I’ll amend this post and put something interesting here… am too tired to get the grey matter going

Roughly 6-7 pages or so to go on this issue. Will start updating again in the new year. Gotta sort out my Pateron account… and other shiz to do with the comic.

Hooray! Here comes Gradlon to save the day! His change of heart and subseqent intervention comes along just in the nick of time, for Woden at least! I drew Die-Blood’s pose in panel four roughly 5-6 times… and it still doesn’t look right.

We’re not too far away from the end of this issue. Things will be very different after it. Trust me.

I was fortunate to be involved in a Halloween costume swap with various webcomics. October20 had their cast dressed in costumes from VANGUARD – It’s looks great!

I was SUPER happy to get to draw Pendragon in Tenzin’s armour from the awesome post-apoc comic, The Demon Archives. It’s written by a talented chap called Daniel Sharp and is illustrated by a host of (very talented) artists.

And I was also extremely pleased and flattered to receive this excellent piece of Halloween costume tom-foolery from Mike Hearn, creator of the webcomic Walter The Wicked. Pop over and say hello!

Akk, Woden, you got a little too close to our boy Die-Blood, who’s a close quarters kinda guy. The team are dropping like flies… and the World kinda needs every hero it can get!

*EDIT – I’ve amended this page to Woden saying ‘Ach, ma belly’ after some confusion if Woden hand suffered a hand or an abdominal injury. Would anyone ever say this? Probably not, but hey, it’s serves the purpose.

MCM Logo

I’ll be down at the London MCM Comic Expo this weekend, drawing for Reynard City. We’ll be at stand CR8 and CR9 there’s loads of free stuff to be had!

Last Wednesday evening, I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Jack and Dan over on the Intercomics Podcast. Wanna listen to me blather on like an idiot about Vanguard and webcomics/comics in general? Check this out!
