  1. Guess who just got back today?
    Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
    Havent changed, havent much to say
    But man, I still think those cats are great

    They were asking if you were around
    How you was, where you could be found
    I told them you were living downtown
    Driving all the old men crazy

    The boys are back in town

    You know the chick that used to dance a lot
    Every night shed be on the floor shaking what shed got
    Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
    I mean she was steaming

    That night over at johnnys place
    Well this chick got up and she slapped johnnys face
    Man we just fell about the place
    If that chick dont want to know, forget her

    Friday night theyll be dressed to kill
    Down at dinos bar and grill
    The drink will flow and blood will spill
    If the boys want to fight, youd better let them

    That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
    The nights are getting warmer, it wont be long
    It wont be long till summer comes
    Now that the boys are here again

    The boys are back in town

  2. “Mr Parade, meet Mr Rain”

    Well, it says the boys are back but then goes on to mention that they are “coming soon”. So, although the growl of a finely-tuned engine and a screech of tyres can be heard approaching, the Hard Ones are not quite back yet.

    Other than Impossible! (which was great) we haven’t seen an actual webcomic produced by Action Age Comics yet – just a load of promos and concepts. If we don’t see one soon, Mr Sims, I shall be asking for my money back!

  3. “Would it be creepy if I were to say that I plan to make love to this comic?”

    Yes, but we were all thinking it.

    A fair complaint, but the wheels of progress turn slowly. To be perfectly honest, I don’t want to put any story up until the whole thing is done so that I can “guarantee” consistent content for its duration, so every project that you’re going to see is going to be in the can when it hits. I can assure you that the artists of our projects are hard at work, and they’ll be worth the wait.

    Also, what about Exterminape and Boxcar Dragon? I mean, sure, Exterminape was a story disguised as a trailer, and Boxcar Dragon was only one page, but…

  5. You chose…wisely.

    Rusty Shackles ROCKS! This is EXACTLY the look this book demands! I dropped by his site, and there’s a strong sense of fluidity, character, and subversive mania to Rusty’s work that this title demands! Beautiful coloring, too.

    Congratulations to you and Mr. Bowers. This looks fantastic!

  6. Thanks for the kindness folks!

    I want to mention to that I’m super-excited to be working with chris and chad and I’ll try and make sure it’s done and done right before too very long. And after seeing the comments here I am definitely motivated and more amped than ever, thanks a mil!

    So, kind of the opposite of the Big Two comics publishers then? ;-)

    Thank goodness!

    I rest my case, m’lud.

    Actually Chris, I was mostly joking up above. I’m looking forward to the Hard Ones (and other amazing Action Age titles).

  8. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve never heard of Mr. Shackles, but going by the preview art this comic is going to be awesome.

  9. Skiptracers? I don’t know what you’re talking about! That’s the title of another comic that someone else is doing; these guys are The Hard Ones.

    Just as they always have been.

  10. Ah, of course. It must have taken me three days because my mind was making it all up. Ah, well, it happens.
