How I'd Make Captain Marvel Great Again
Hey, guys!
I spent a few hours earlier today writing up a 6500-word script for a YouTube video I’m recording the audio for in the morning. The crux of the video is going to be the following:
HOW TO MAKE THE MARVELS GREAT
So at this point everyone knows that the MCU movie, The Marvels, has bombed. But I like the concept of a bunch of characters roughly associated with the “Captain Marvel” moniker being combined into a super-team, so I wanted to take a swing at proposing my concept.
The video will likely be around 40 minutes and will detail a brief history of Captain Marvel, the rise and fall of the MCU, the decreasing relevancy of the comics, why customers are losing interest and what I’d do if I was allowed to make a comic book series or movie based on “The Marvels”.
The video will go live after Jex and Max manage to edit the video for me. They’re mining the internet right now for the relevant images and video footage related to the project.

We at SinR Studios are hard at work RIGHT NOW on a variety of things to entertain you!
Here’s a shortlist:
Neon Dreams 2 - about 60% line art done
Cyberpunk novel & YouTube video series
Greek Goddess/superhero SFW graphic novel
Supernatural Detective YouTube video series
…and the last crowdfunding campaign we’re launching to close-out the year will be
NEON DREAMS: DOUBLE FEATURE!
The campaign will offer the aforementioned graphic novel, which will combine Neon Dreams 1 & 2 PLUS the original art from the Hardbody Hustlers 12-month calendar into one massive collected edition, complete with new variant covers!
I will also be offering two 48-page MAGAZINE-SIZED art compilations! One will be called “BUSTY BEAUTIES” and will take 48 illustrations of some of my most voluptuous ladies and putting them in one book. The second will be called “PRIMARY ASSETS” and will collect 48 of my thickest beauties into one book.
Both of these books will have new covers and I may allow for stretch goals to include a few new pinups for each!
Stay tuned as I’ll be launching the campaign in the next week or so.
I’M WRITING A CYBERPUNK NOVEL!
Over the past twenty years, I’ve written numerous screenplays and a few novels. I scaled back massively on my writing once I became a commercial artist—which was where the money was/is—however I always wanted to get back into purely writing for writing’s sake.
I felt like there were now new and inventive ways to share my writing in a way that could entice a bigger audience. I know that audiobooks are huge and so is YouTube, so Jex and I have been planning for about six months to get into publishing stories on YouTube that utilize some video/image elements.
If you wanted to listen to the story in the background as an audiobook, that would work; conversely, if you wanted to watch it like a movie with the image/video elements edited in, you could do that, too. We decided that would be the direction to go.
CYBERPUNK INSPIRATION
After playing around 300 hours of Cyberpunk 2077 over the past few months, I fell deeply in love with the world, lore, characters and game mechanics. Although I had some misgivings with the diverse, forked storytelling and would continually think of things I wish my character, “V” could be allowed to do. Some quests and storylines would end in ways that were deterministically negative that I wishes I had the option to spin positively.
Anyhow, after thinking about it for a few weeks, I decided I’d just write a cyberpunk novel! This would be a fan fiction that I could write and publish for free on YouTube for everyone to experience.
THE CYBERPUNK NOVEL’S PREMISE
The premise is simple: in the world of Cyberpunk, the primary setting is a place called Night City, which is filled with ordinary citizens, good cops/bad cops, junkies, street thugs, hackers, billionaire corpos, paramilitary groups, nomads, cyberware-equipped mercenaries and more.
The lead character in the story is a guy named Joseph Jehoshaphat Callahan AKA “J”. He’s been a merc in Night City for five years and is climbing the ladder within the shadowy hierarchy of control, power, privilege and prestige in the system.
We’re going to follow J as he goes through the doldrums of merc-life and all of the accouterments, good and bad. We’ll meet his allies and contacts and even fixers who provide him with gigs that send him on adventures. We’ll follow his adventures as he’s harried by ex-girlfriends, fixers, needy corpo clients and anyone desperate for someone to put finger to trigger on their behalf.
Each story will entail J taking on another “gig” with a job setup, description, unique and specific allies and enemies, potential love interests and new equipment and body modifications that might help him in current or future endeavors.
The overall story will evolve and grow from relatively small adventures that lead to a bigger storyline that involves high stakes for everyone in Night City and beyond!
Right now, I’m 25 pages in—which I’m doing during breaks from working on Neon Dreams 2—but progress is swift and satisfying!
I hope you’re looking forward to J’s cyberpunk adventures as much as I am!
20% OFF OF ALL ORDERS!
I know that comic books are just about the least essential purchase anyone can make. I admit that smut comics are even less essential! But I am exceptionally grateful that my awesome customers still buy my stuff. Considering how bad the economy is right now, I did want to make things a little easier on those who want to get my comics but the costs are a bit steep.
For the foreseeable future, all digital/physical and merch orders will be 20% off!
