I'm putting together a crossover project to run through next year through many comics and also hopefully benefit the Hero Initiative.  If you're interested in participating, please e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.
 
Top page: I think I'm getting better at drawing dancing, though the woman the Swimmer is dancing with really doesn't look like she's dancing.  The Swimmer was supposed to be grinding, but I couldn't draw it without it looking obscene.  Also, we have the return of Sweats, and the main reason for this page: that the Swimmer does have an enemy now because of this.  It doesn't matter that she's of questionable intelligence.
 
Bottom page: Cameo time!  Panel 2 is a couple characters from Mantooth Soundsystem, panel 3 has the firey guy from DDSR and panel 4 has a character from Grin N Spirit.  Also regarding panel 4: Grin N Spirit was a part of the 2009 Halloween Cameo Caper, but… I'm not sure how they tied in.  Certainly they didn't seem to interact with everybody else, and though there was a big fight at a castle, it was never stated (as far as I can tell) as Castle Overlook (the setting for the Caper).  Still, it was an awesome storyline.
A note on panel 6, as well: it is very poorly drawn, but Hogan is supposed to be swinging his axe at Tempore, who is dodging.  I didn't draw Hogan in full because I thought the swing of the axe would obscure him.  Instead, it looks like disembodied arms.  Maybe Hogan's jumping from a tree or something?
