Hey all! Figure Id put in my two cents. 
Mr Imp was originally created for HU purely because I thought the team could use a funnyman. Unfortunately there wasn't much thought put into his backstory or a running comic at the time of his creation, so I never could really get a story I liked off the ground cause I was just making stuff up as I went along and I wasn't satisfied with my art (I was a youngin). 
That being said, I always liked how he's been used with HU/HA so far, people just seem to know what to do with the character that cracks one liners and loves the ladies, so use or don't use him as you all see fit, because most of his development has been outside of any comic of his own.
I do want to complete a solo title for him one day though.

Personally, I think it's great to have two shapeshifters on the team who are SO different, personality-wise. And we've never really played off that fact, have we? We've never really had them interact much, neither personality-wise nor power-wise. Thinking of it, Azumorph and Mr Imp could probably do some spectacular, awesome, irritating combo-moves.

Still, it's like if you team up Elastic Man and Plastic Man.  The more serious with the goofball.
 
It is interesting how stretchy characters tend to be zany, which I guess is due to their powers, but the most famous one (Mr. Fantastic) is one of the most stuffy, serious-minded superheroes out there (I realize Plastic Man was originally created as the serious person in a silly world, but his characterization and situation is now the opposite, so he doesn't count as serious anymore).
 
But writing Imp is so fun.  I did find it great writing his interactions with the Spatulator for issue 7 (a relationship that needs to continue–the two actually work together well).

I love the way how imp is. I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon. I already wrote him into my SolarCell comic as part of the comic relief. So if he will no longer be used for the main story, I will be using him for the behind the HA shadows stories that is going on.

The HUniverse gods are close to a crawl. 2015. Wow we have got to get a move on. Granted even I have been moving very slowly with HA pages as of late. My reasons, not enough interactions between us. So I'm going jump back on this topic: main case for HA.



The list of characters that can and cannot be used. We can review the list of availability as a start. As we know Shell is free to use however we see fit according to fuku. I've talked with the creator of RoofRat and he is fre to use. My characters solarcell, dark-beauty, perception, Samantha the purple machete are free to use. Mr. Imp also is another one that is free to use. The rest as we all know we have to get permissions. Titan I know I will need permission to use if I can get in contact with the creator. On my side she will be used on a p/t status. Peligroso, I think needs to be a core member. He has been there from the get go. If it comes to him going part time statue I'm fine with that but I don't think he should be off the team. Bombshell is a must core member. The bujin can stay at what ever status ironhand says he is at. The flee would be awesome to have on HA. Astral and sparkle if I'm not mistaken would be a great addition to HA.



All of the case members I mentioned above I will be using in both versions of SolarCell's comics.

It been almost 3 years since the last post. Question. Is HA calling it quits after Season one?

Three years? It's been almost one year, I think (the last R.I.S.E. short page went live in September last year). I really hope HA doesn't call it quits, but it depends on pages coming in. If any of you can reach out to new artsist/contributors: Do it! It might make the difference between life and death for HA.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was talking about this forum post. (nov. 2015)


As far as pages go. I keep thinking about just stepping in and fill in Pages. BUT, I don't want to over step my bounds. I mean FuKu and you stepped up and did that in the early issues of HA. I'm went back in time on the Quackcast 156 where you and Pitface were talking about HA/universe and it sparked a new flame under me. The Transgender and Zombie issue brought back some great memories. I started becoming a regular listener of the Quackcase since early 2018? so when i found QC 156, I had to hear it.



Anyway, getting the band back together might be harder this time around. so, i'm going to look around the forum and see what needs to be done and just go for it. It might re kindle what we had. Let me know if that is ok before i jump in head first.

Ah, sorry about that - I thought you meant the comic.

It would definitely be cool if you could either do some of the replacement pages, or contact other artists to step in, or both. Thanks!
