My brother was nice enough to post the Ironic Commando comic at Digg.com. I don't know much about the site, but I assume it's a good thing. You dugg it? Then go to http://digg.com/xbox/Ironic_Commando_comic/ and say you digg it. Or you could hit that "digg story" text that magically appeared at the bottom of this post. HA! Dig-Dug!

The Complete Ironic Commando
Now with a shiny, new, less sucky sixth page!
I figured putting all the pages together would make for an easier read. I apologize for the way my blog is putting my text along the side of the pages. If there's a way to put my typing below the pages, I don't know how. The new pages came when John said we had to give the title screen it's own page and "ham up" the the "NOO00!!1" part. Plus, it no longer looks like Nathan is telling the reader to stop in the name of love (check the post a couple weeks back to see the old version if ya don't know what I'm talkin about). Even though the comic isn't that long, I can see my drawing skill ever so slightly improving as I read them all together like this. No major improvements, it just went from feh to meh, but that's better than nothing.

Ironic Commando, Part 6 and 7
Suck it up, boy. Suck it up with a straw.
Thus concludes the the Ironic Commando comic. Is it ironic in any way that it was a game that John and I were playing the whole time? Maybe it's ironic that there's a comic in the first place, cuz I'm pretty sure I said to John, "Yeah right, you'll never write a spoof of Bionic Commando, and I'll never draw a comic for that spoof, on account of me just saying that you'll never write it."
*UPDATE* It has come John's and my attention that, in the top panel of page 6, Nathan looks like he's reacting to a camera falling on him rather than screaming in aguish about the horrible, horrible irony. A revision will be made probably some time next week.

Ironic Commando, Part 5
Oh boy. Oooooh boy. Here it comes.
Okay, I know this monotone thing seems ancient now cuz of last week's comic, but I firgured I should just keep with continuity, seein' as the comic's almost done. I believe I can finish it in one more outing, cuz there's only three more panels left, but it'll take two more pages cuz John want's them to be f***in' huge. And rightly so.

Ironic Commando, Part 4
How ironic that I would make two horizontal panels on this page after not making horizontal panels before in this comic. Especially since I said "I will never draw horizontal panels in this comic" beforehand.
There aint much to this page, as there's two panels with nuthin' but black. That coincided quite nicely with Christmas week, wherein I had little time to work. Paint bucket is my hero.
I guess we're at the halfway point of Ironic Commando. I think I can get the rest of John's script in three or four pages, unless he makes an alternate ending or something. The irony could be that Nathan wore his sunglasses when there's broad daylight. Wait, that's not ironic, it's just stupidity.

Ironic Commando, Part 3
Someone crack open a window, we're cookin' some irony.
This page is slightly better than the previous, probably cuz it has a female and they're more fun to draw. That, and it has blood and bone crushing in it. Still kinda wonky though. Look how weird Nathan's back looks in the third panel. What's that?! That's crap! If he had a bean shaped body and were two and a half heads tall, I'd make him look freakin' adequate!

Ironic Commando, Part 2
The eventual irony might be a coincidence.
GOD, drawing guns and perspective is so hard for me. And I believe John had this in mind when he wrote the Ironic Commando script. I'm sure he's laughing manically about it right know, with the exuberance of that guy that sends you to hell in Doom 3.
But drawing a figure that's pointing and yelling makes it all worth while.

Ironic Commando, Part 1
Don't worry. You'll laugh your A$S off when you read the last page.
This is the first of a potentially five or six part comic written by my brother, John, aka Jazz, aka Jazz Man, aka the Jazz Hole, aka Reason, aka the Reasonist, aka the original Ironic Commando, aka Drooly McGee, aka Corporal Flashback, etcetera, etcetera. He's a much better writer than me, and I'm a much better drawer than him, so it balances out or something.
Unfortunately, neither of us are good at coloring.
I'm gonna alternate between doing this and my usual comics until this is done. I've never drawn more comic book type figures, so forgive me if these guys look cartoony or wonky. I guess I can consider this practice.
