V18 – Pg28
THE ALL NEW VANGUARD
…and Pendragon is far from impressed.
That new Vanguard ‘logo’ is in comic-sans, all the spacing is messed up and is designed to look ‘amateurish’ and slapped together… just like this new team.
You might recognise Mr. Neat! on the left, Superhero spokesperson for: Neat! Near Meat substitute. Tastes like real meat. from issue 10. The meat substitute snack has popped up in the comic once or twice.
Also, on the far right is the older version of Mike, the former-villain turned bar owner at MAHONEY’S. As Vanguard is set in the near future, Mike is older… and has lost a hand. I was referencing ‘Age of Apocolypse’ Wolverine with that metal stump.
If you’ve enjoyed the comic so far, I post upcoming designs and sketches over on my Patreon page. Soon I’ll be uploading the previous issues in PDF format onto there. So why not help the creation of VANGUARD and throw a few quid/bucks into the pot? It all helps keep this comic going.

Yeah, I’m with Pendragon on this one. They sure as hell don’t look like much. Unless they have some extraordinary abilities. But at first glance they look like the stuff you scrape off the bottom of old waste barrels.
Pendragon’s look says it all.
Bottom of the barrel? That’s being charitable.
Why does the guy drinking beer remind me of Wolverine?
So we know the big one-handed guy is the (semi) indestructible bar owner from your previous comic.
I recognise Mr Neat, who was tough enough to insult the ‘police’ and not be scared of anyone attacking him.
Who are the rest?
I’m especially curious about the man-baby in the background.
What does his shirt say?
So, going around from right-to-left, we have a has-been with too many miles, a beer-bellied idiot, a maybe, a maybe with a large side of bimbo, a flaming idiot, and the spokesman for Neat (so, probably some powers, but questionable judgement).
Ouch.
dang, you just had to insult the bottom of the barrel by recruiting these wee neds…
Will Violet’s super name be The Brat?
