All naked characters in Commander’s fantasies are over the age of 18.

We’re less than $40 away from unlocking the fully nude, Full Monty Tsunami painting over at the Patreon Page. You could be the Patron who puts the total over the top!

Here’s the SFW headshot:

AMW_Comics_TYP-ETE-PATREON-Tsunami-Marccus-Pinup-Headshot_800

If we hit $8000/month, $5+/month Patrons will get to download a wallpaper revealing his whole body in all its muscular, tattooed Full Monty glory and if we hit $8250/month, I’ll post up a link to another wallpaper which adds a beautiful background to show the context of why the big guy is naked (and, trust me, it really is quite pretty and adds a lot to the painting.) And if we hit those Milestone Goals, $10+ Patrons will get sent high-res versions of both images once their payments are processed at the end of the month.

Marccus has done a beautiful job rendering our grumpy, but oh so sexy water bender. You definitely won’t want to miss it!

If you become a Patron now and choose to receive the Special Digital Rewards, you will be able to download wallpaper versions of the Full Monty Annihilator Pin-Ups, the Full Monty Spooky Romance Card Pin-Up as well the Sexy Height Chart which shows the male members of the team. You’ll also be able enjoy all the other rewards so far posted, including the “How Spooky Got His Cap” and “What Is It Like To Kiss Spooky?” short stories that folks have liked so much. This is in addition to special back-stage access to script pages, thumbnail pages and penciled pages for all new updates. And, of course, Patrons who chose to get the Special Digital Rewards (which is the vast majority) continue to receive Digital Kickstarter Rewards every Wednesday and get to see special Sneak Previews on Sunday.

Over 1090 of you have already become Patrons in the last few months. There are lots of great benefits to being a Patron, and you’d really be helping me out if you became one too. If you’re enjoying our work here and would like to see it continue (and would like to get access to all kinds of special benefits!),

please take a moment to watch the video on my Patreon page and consider becoming a Patron. 🙂

So! We’re getting to see a little bit of Amanda’s active fantasy life. Good thing no one else on the teams can read minds! (Or can they?) Which of these images is your favorite? Please let me know in the comments! I wonder what secret will we learn next?

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

Wow…

We have some very interesting new Fan Art by WarGoddess, who was inspired by speculation in the comments section of how readers’ reactions might be different if The Annihilator and Kyle were female characters instead of male. So, it’s The Annihilator and Kyle, in two different art pieces — as women! Do check them out.

And speaking of the comments section, good speculation continues there! (In fact, so many good ideas have been proposed to explain what’s going on folks have begun to number them!) I look forward to hearing what you think this means. 🙂

Oh and…

“I-I can feel your- you on top of me and your- ah! This feels so… So… Mm! Oh, jeez! Oh, crap! Duncan, I think I’m- I’m-” You think you’re what, Kyle? WHAT?! Spit it out! I mean those aren’t even real sentences! Why can’t webcomic creators just have the characters say what they mean?! >:( Is this some attempt to be arty? If I wanted something cryptic that needed freaking subtitles to understand, I’d go see a freaking existential Swedish film! “Jeez”, indeed!

(Oh, and just for the record, if thingy-smushing means that eventually I’m going to be making goofy faces like what I’m seeing on this page, then forget it! People can just go smush their own thingys and leave mine alone! O_O)

Anyway!

I want to thank all the straight dudes who spoke up in the comments on the last page and shared how they found The Young Protectors and why they are enjoying it. I actually feel a kinship with straight guys who can enjoy a romance featuring two dudes because I’m a pure Kinsey 6 (the female form does nothing for me sexually or romantically) and yet my favorite film of all time is Bound which features a romance between two women. One of my great hopes for the future is that it becomes the norm (instead of the exception) for people to enjoy romances featuring happy couples who are different. That someday prejudices will be a thing of the past and that we’ll all be able to cheer for everyone in love. It’s a strong motivation behind the creation of my own work and so it’s always gratifying to hear that there are those (straight guys, lesbians, asexual folk, etc.) who are enjoying my comics even if they would choose something different for themselves. 🙂

Last week, I revealed tidbits about how things broke down for the guys who took my survey. This week, we’ll focus on those who identified their gender as female!

GALS

  • Out of the 8,387 respondents, 5,221 identified as female.
  • The majority (56.29%) are between the ages of 18-25 with a whopping 85.75% being 30 years old or under.
  • Only 0.48% identified as “transgender” with 2.43% “still figuring that out.”
  • 44.26% would self-identify to a close friend as “straight”, 27.43% as “bisexual”, 4.94% as “gay”, 10.23% as “I’m not sure/still figuring that out”, 7.53% as “something else” and 5.61% as “asexual.”
  • In terms of the Kinsey Scale, 18.94% identified as “0 – Exclusively Heterosexual”, 25.67% as “1 – Mostly Heterosexual”, 25.51% as “2 – Predominantly Heterosexual”, 15.25% as “3 – Equally Heterosexual and Homosexual”, 4.08% as “4 – Predominantly Homosexual”, 4.54% as “5 – Mostly Homosexual” and 1.86% as “6 – Exclusively Homosexual.”
  • 7.81% chose ” I DON’T HAVE SIGNIFICANT SEXUAL FEELINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE” and 0.34% chose “I AM MOSTLY OR EXCLUSIVELY SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT IDENTIFY AS EITHER MALE OR FEMALE”
  • Finally, a sizable 76.48% wanted “Kyle and The Annihilator to live happily ever”, 20.26% were “cool with Kyle and The Annihilator being together for this night,” but ultimately wanted Kyle to wind up with someone else and 3.26% had this advice: “Run away, Kyle! Run away now!”

So some very interesting results! My note has already become novel-length, so I’ll leave it to y’all in the comments to discuss how these results compare with the results I posted on Saturday! 🙂

Oh and

***THIS IS A BONUS PAGE***

Our eighth bonus page in a row! And look below! We’re already at $177 on the donation bar towards the next bonus page!

Special thanks go out to long-time supporters Federica G. (who makes their second generous donation to The Young Protectors!) and Daniel M. & Marte H. (both making their third generous donation to The Young Protectors!), and a warm welcome and grateful bow go out to new supporters Jose S., Bart T., Ditte S., & Larry B. for their generous donations over the last few days!

Thank you all so much for your generous support!

So! Is that fire I see in Kyle’s eyes? Or… at least coming from Kyle’s eyes? What could that possibly mean?

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

All right. So I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m not getting ninjas or giant robots in this scene. (Which I still feel is a missed opportunity but, you know, WHATEVER!) So I might as well try to understand what’s going on here. Now, at this point, both Kyle and The Annihilator are completely naked, right? And it seemed like they were wrestling… or something… But now I’m thinking they are smushing their, um, thingys together and that makes them feel… good? Am I understanding that correctly? And so that’s why they’re not fighting robots right now? I’m really trying to understand this kissy stuff so please let me know if I’m reading this wrong!

We have some new Fan Art from long-time friend of The Young Protectors Frenchie! It’s The Annihilator on a throne… of tentacles! You definitely need to check it out!

And I know I said I was going to sum up some interesting results from the survey tonight, but I’ve been having some really wonky computer problems today (le sigh), so with your permission, I’ll hold off on that until next time. I want to be able to do it justice.

I am, however, excited to say we had our sixth bonus page on Wednesday and then you immediately turned around and tipped over the donation bar to make sure we’re going to have a bonus page next Wednesday too! And look below! We’re already at $144 towards the bonus page after that!

Special thanks go out to long-time supporters Cherise B. (who makes their second generous donation to The Young Protectors!), Kathryn G. (who makes their third generous donation to The Young Protectors!), Christopher D. (who makes their sixth generous donation to The Young Protectors!) & Saxon B. (who makes their thirty-eighth (!!!) generous donation to The Young Protectors!) and a warm welcome and grateful bow go out to new supporters Tian L., Jaime-Lynn W., Brent S. & Federica G. for their generous donations over the last few days!

Big hugs go out to new friend of The Young Protectors Sensational S. and also to long-time friends joshua G., Robert B., Cassandra S. & Perrine S. for their super-generous $25 donations! And this makes Cassandra’s fifth, Perrine’s tenth, and both joshua’s & Robert’s twenth-ninth (!!) super-generous donations to this comic!

And finally superhero-strength hugs go out to long-time super-friends James A. and Sam B. for their amazingly generous $50 donations! This makes Sam’s second and James’s seventh amazingly generous donation to The Young Protectors! Thank you so, so much, James and Sam — you’re both totally awesome!

Thank you all so much for your generous support!

So! Comforting words have been spoken! Flesh has again been pressed against flesh! And it turns out The Annihilator has actually heard about this crazy, new-fangled tech called The Internet! Love, passion, revelations — what more could there possibly be to this scene?

Tune in next Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there!

Methinks Kyle heard a giant robot outside! WOO HOO! 😀

So! People often ask me who I think my readers are in terms of age, gender identification, sexual orientation, etc. Basically, “Who reads your comics, anyway?” So I figured it might be fun to actually ask you. So, I’ve created this very short survey to find out:

CLICK HERE TO ANSWER THE “WHO READS THE YOUNG PROTECTORS?” SURVEY!

There are only seven questions and they are all multiple-choice, so it shouldn’t take you more than a minute. Your answers will be completely anonymous (the survey link is actually encrypted with HTTPS) and I’m really just doing this because I’m curious who’s reading this comic. But please answer honestly — I imagine you’re as curious as I am who your fellow readers are and so it’s important we get real information. And hopefully you’ll find it fun!

There are a lot of questions I could ask (for example, about ethnicity, whether you read other webcomics, etc.), but this seemed like at least a place to start because this is the kind of stuff I get asked about all the time (especially about sexual orientation). If people like this survey, I can maybe come up with different surveys. Oh, and if you take the survey, you’ll get to see the current results of what everybody else answered when you are done! (Edit: per commenter DanishWolf: “Above the survey answers is an arrow. You need to click you way through the 7 question -replies.” to see all the results. Pro-tip!)

SO PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND TAKE THE “WHO READS THE YOUNG PROTECTORS?” SURVEY!

We had our fifth bonus page in a row this week and almost immediately after it posted you tipped the donation bar over its target, which means that there will also be another bonus page this Wednesday (page 23!). AWESOME! And look below! We’re already at $25 towards the bonus page after that!

Special thanks go out to long-time supporters Adeline V., Sofia T., Guido P., Jake S. & Nicole P. (all five making their second generous donation to The Young Protectors!) & Saxon B. (who makes their thirty-seventh (!!!) generous donation to The Young Protectors!) and a warm welcome and grateful bow go out to new supporters Carli W., Tina M., debra p., and Julia S. (who makes their donation for Savannah B. with love) for their generous donations over the last few days!

Big hugs go out to long-time friends of The Young Protectors John D., Robert B., Cassandra S., Elizabeth L. and joshua G. for their super-generous $25 donations! And this makes Elizabeth’s second, John’s third, Cassandra’s fourth, and both Robert’s & joshua’s twenty-eighth (!!) super-generous donations to this comic!

And finally, superhero-strength hugs go out to new The Young Protectors super-friend Christopher M. for their amazingly generous $86 donation! Thank you so, so much, Christopher! You ROCK!

Thank you all so much for your generous support!

All righty! Looks like Kyle has called a time-out from the action between the sheets! What’s up with that?! Does this mean that sexy times are over? Will there in fact be an awesome battle on the next page with robots and space pirates? Or will the kissy stuff somehow find a way to continue?

Tune in this Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there!

Well, at least they seem to have stopped kissing. Phew! Maybe they’ll go to sleep now, it’ll fade to black and they’ll be woken up in the middle of the night by the sounds of battle! Maybe with, like, giant robots or something? Or ninjas! Everything gets better with ninjas

The Mahou Shonen Fight Kickstarter is in its last 3 days! It’s a really fun comic, they’ve hit their goal (so the book will be printed!) and are now in stretch goal territory, so you should totally take a moment and check them out before it’s too late!

Oh, and

So! Full booty exposure has now been achieved! The underwear has hit the floor! And soon naked bodies will be pressed together!

Or will they?

Lots of you have been placing your bets on when these two are going to get interrupted by some kind of attack. Will that finally happen on the next page? (Fingers crossed!)

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! Edit 8/15/13 10:02 AM: Boy, that was FAST! Thanks to your generous donations, you’ve yet again tipped over the Donation Bar!

END INTERLUDE ONE.

All right-y! I promised some exciting news, so here I am with some EXCITING NEWS!

I’ve just now launched a Kickstarter Project for printing a Young Protectors book! This book would include the Prologue, Chapter One and this Interlude along with other special features, including excerpts from a Classified Dossier on The Annihilator (which reveals his secret history along with other cool details about the superheroes and supervillains of my world.)

By backing the Kickstarter you’ll be 1) making this book actually possible and 2) getting a chance to be first in line to get the book when it’s printed. (And if you’re in the U.S., you also get free shipping!) In additional to that, there are a whole lot of other goodies that will be available to backers should the project succeed! (Including a little something a lot of you have been asking for in my comics that I’m calling “The Full Monty.” Be sure to look for that section in the Kickstarter page if you’ve been wanting to see a bit more of The Young Protectors.)

Getting the word out really is the hardest part for me, so if you would like to see The Young Protectors as a book or would like to make the other rewards possible, please let people know about this Kickstarter using the Facebooks and the Twitters and the reddits and Tumblrs and the anything else you can think of. That would totally help me out. (And if you happen to know any celebs or media folks who might like this comic, please let them know too!)

I worked really hard to try to make this Kickstarter project for The Young Protectors as fun as possible. So, if you’re enjoying The Young Protectors, please take a moment to check out my Kickstarter project and let me know what you think in the comments!

All right-y! So that’s the BIG news. Other news!

We had our seventh bonus page in a row on Wednesday and just yesterday hit the bonus target again which means that in addition to our regular Saturday updates and a bonus page on Wednesday, May 29th, there will be an additional bonus page on Wednesday, June 5th! WOO HOO! Y’all are UNSTOPPABLE!

Special thanks go out to long-time supporters Paul L. & Charlene C. (both making their second generous donation to The Young Protectors!) and a warm welcome and grateful bow go out to new supporters Kenneth K., Whitney W., Kate C. & Scott P. for their generous donations over the last few days!

Big hugs go out to long-time friends of The Young Protectors joshua G. and Robert B. for their super-generous $25 donations! And this makes both joshua’s and Robert’s sixteenth super-generous donations to this comic!

And finally, ZOMG, deeply humbled; deeply, deeply grateful hugs go out to long-time MEGA-friend Nicolas F. for their stunningly generous $200 donation! And this makes Nicolas’ ninth $200 donation to this comic! I’m totally blown away, Nicolas! Thank you so, so much! 😀

Thank you all so much for your generous support! When I started this comic after Artifice, I wasn’t sure if anyone would really like it. It was quite different from what I’ve done before. And yet here we are with the possibility of actually making this little webcomic into a gorgeous softcover graphic novel—and it’s all because of you and the amazing support you’ve shown us over the last year. You all are the real superheroes of The Young Protectors. I am tremendously grateful to all of you for your support and encouragement and just all-around coolness. THANK YOU!

So! Our little comedic Interlude comes to an end. I hope you enjoyed getting to know the other Young Protectors better (and me indulging in a bit of AlexHumor.)

What’s next? Why it’s going to be Chapter Two where we pick up with Kyle and The Annihilator on Kyle’s birthday. Or I should say, the night of Kyle’s birthday. Are you curious to find out what kind of present The Annihilator is going to give Kyle? (The unwrapping is always the best part, don’t you think?)

Tune in this Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

There have been many WOAHs in this Interlude. But this is ultimate WOAH. The WOAH-pitome. The WOAH-ne-plus-ultra. There shall be no more WOAHS. Your time of WOAH is over.

I got a groovy piece of Fan Art from geekypnai for my birthday this week! It’s called “Yaoi 911 crew” and includes all your favorite characters from my webcomics, swarming around my head. It’s very cool and you should check it out. Thank you so much, geekypnai!

We had our fourth bonus page in a row on Wednesday! And thanks to your generous donations, there will be another bonus page on May 8th (page 11!), yet another bonus page on Wednesday, May 15th (page 13!) and look below! We’re already at $92 towards the bonus page after that! 😀

Special thanks, a warm welcome and grateful bow go out to new supporters Nial Z., Kyle F. & Marie V. for their generous donations over the last few days!

Big hugs go out to long-time friends of The Young Protectors joshua G., Robert B. & Marc B. for their super-generous $25 donations! And this makes Marc’s seventh, Robert’s thirteenth (!!) and joshua’s fourteenth (!!!) super-generous donation to this comic!

Thank you all so, so much for your generous support! 😀

All righty! Looks like our guys saw something on the screen that provoked a big reaction! I’d say it had to be the AWESOME art Adam and Vero created for that last panel, but unless space-time is more wibbly-wobbly than I’ve been lead to believe, I imagine that’s an impossibility.

So, I wonder what it could be! Do you think we’ll get to find out on Wednesday? Oh, I bet we will!

Hope to see you there! 😀

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! Edit 5/3/13 10:50 PM: WHAM! BAM! POW! You’ve done it again! Thanks to your generous donations, we’ve yet again tipped over the donation bar, so that means that in addition to our next bonus page on May 8th (page 11!), and another bonus page on Wednesday, May 15th (page 13!), there will be yet another bonus page on May 22nd (page 15!) WOO HOO! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE AWESOME! Hope to see you there! 😀

A whole comic! Now that has some possibilities… 😉

Speaking of comics, I just got back from the Stumptown Comics Fest and I’m going to recommend a really good one to you—The Legend of Bold Riley by Leia Weathington. I posted up a mini-review over on my Tumblr account, but the short answer is that if you like what I’m trying to do with my comics, you should get this book. It’s a fun, gripping, well-illustrated, fantasy-action graphic novel with a real three-dimensional heroine who just happens to like girls. I’m serious, you need to go check this out now.

In other news, a bunch of folks have been asking me when the first The Young Protectors book is going to come out and this month I’ve been working on creating a Kickstarter project to do just that. It’s only going to run for a short time, so keep your eye out for it in the next couple weeks. I promise I’ll let you know here when it begins! 😀

Oh, and

***THIS IS A BONUS PAGE!***

The fourth bonus page in a row! And thanks to your amazingly generous donations, that means that in addition to our regular Saturday updates, there will be another bonus page on May 8th (page 11!) and yet another bonus page on Wednesday, May 15th (page 13)! Here we are posting a bonus page and there are two pages already in the bank! You all ROCK SO MUCH! 😀

Special thanks and big hugs go out to new friend of The Young Protectors allen w. and also to long-time friend Daniel N. for their super-generous $25 donations! (And this makes Daniel’s thirtieth (!!!) super-generous donation to this comic! OMG, Daniel, you are SUPER-INCREDIBLE!)

And ZOMG, superhero-strength hugs go out to new super-friend Sam K. for their amazingly generous $100 donation (which put us over the top for the May 15th bonus page!) Thank you so, so much Sam!

Thank you all so much for your generous support! Both with the donations and your kind words in the comments and email, it’s nice to know you’re enjoying this little scene of AlexHumor (and awesome Adam/Vero art!) 😉

So! Kyle kinda looks to me like a bandit in this fan comic. I wonder what kind of bandit he is? (I say, thief of hearts!) Will this new comic possibly provide any new fun for our young heroes?

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there!
