Less Than Fantastic: A Fantastic Four fan comic (Finally complete!!)



Flung into the distant past by the villain Hyperstorm, Reed Richards is forced to admit that even Mr. Fantastic can’t create a time machine out of rocks and sticks. But just as despair sets in, an unexpected visit offers the promise of rescue…

Less Than Fantastic is a Fantastic Four fan comic and love letter to the turbulent Tom DeFalco/Paul Ryan era of the 1990s.

(Also, holy cow, it's still sinking in that I actually finished this thing.)

Not Dead Yet

Yep, still terrible at keeping up with journal sites. (And journals in general.)

Anyway, that Fantastic Four fan comic? I finished part 2 and am in the end stage of finishing part 3 (and finishing it). Got some OC comic plans after that. I'll post a link to "Less Than Fantastic" when it's properly done and online.

My art blog is currently on Tumblr. I maintain a couple of other blogs there, but two are fan-posting stuff (one for Doc Ock, the other for the Fantastic Four), and the main is just me reblogging various interesting stuff.

Anyway, with all the internet enshittification going on, it's nice that Dreamwidth is still around and kicking.

Less Than Fantastic (A Fantastic Four Fan Comic in Progress)

Teaser Panel: Less Than Fantastic Part 1


Back in May, I got an idea for a short 3-page Fantastic Four fan comic about the time that Reed Richards was trapped in the very distant past. Just a brief angst vignette because Reed was most assuredly not having a good time.

While working on said comic (and very much enjoying the challenge), I got the idea for a continuation of this story thanks to a bit of dialogue in Fantastic Four (vol 1) #407 and ended up with a script for a 23 page comic (like, with actual plot and everything!). That turned out to have a natural cliffhanger point in the middle, so I separated it into two parts (Less Than Fantastic parts 2 and 3, with the 3-pager being part 1).

Today I finished penciling the 11 pages of part 2, and should start the inking and completion on Monday.

I'm really psyched and really excited about this whole thing. It's the first time I've felt really inspired to push myself artistically in literal years. It's fucking awesome.
