The Road to Crisis, Pt. 2
Jan 18th
The road to Crisis was a year in the making, and I probably drove myself insane trying to get it done. Here’s part 2 of the retrospective piece where you’ll learn how the threat of the Renegades began to alter time in the Marvel Universe.
The Road to Crisis
Jan 17th
Ahhh, I’ve been in a really retrospective mood lately, so I decided to slow down the blog and take a look into the past. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but my biggest and longest mod happened to be a little thing called “Crisis: DC/Marvel Alliance.” If it’s not obvious from the name alone, it involved a crossover between companies and an event type crisis. Not rocket science, right? So, what was the stimulus that resulted in this mod being green-lighted? I can honestly tell you that it wasn’t just one thing, and it was built up over several projects I had completed at the time. Follow me, dear readers, as we go through my time capsule.
A Modder’s Trends
Jan 11th
I don’t know if you guys have noticed it, but I have developed quite a few small trends in the mods I’ve done for special events. I’ve done three thus far, and you might remember them (G’day, Wolverine, and Hydra), but they ALL share a few glaring similarities. Can you figure out what they might be, gangers? Hint: It’s not the heroes involved.
Archangel…the mod? No way!
May 15th
Lately I’ve been mentally bombarded with the idea to do an Archangel mod. While that may sound fun (or awful depending on where you stand with the character), I find it very difficult coming up with a plausible mod story to build around this character. I suppose part of the reason is that he has like three personalities he’s developed over the years and no real enemies to build off. The other reason might be because Angel, by his lonesome, is just not an engaging or viable lead without a great cast around him. I mean, he’s no Wolverine is he? So, I’m interested in hearing what some of you might do or want in a mod involving Archangel. Keep in mind that there’s not a huge chance anything could be realized, but seeing the idea could spark SOMEONE to make an all new mod. We all want new mods right? Thought so.
