GIANT ATTACK MONSTERS MEGA-BATTLE! pg26
The kaiju form of Scapula actually came fairly late in the plotting of this story; I’ve been posting a lot of behind-the-scenes pics about the making of this comic in the Scapula Patreon page, so thosey who are nosey should check it out!
As for the identity of Jane Lewinski, well…that’s something that only people who’ve read Scapula Volume 1 will know about.
There’s our Scapula! Totally oblivious to the important things, like the fact that other Kaiju were just zapped back to normal……
Although, I friggin’ LOVE this design! Seriously, this would be where Kaiju flicks cross into horror territory something fierce. You should pitch this as a movie. I’d watch that until the disc wore through.
I was reluctant about anything that would make Scapula look “cool” (his only intended transformation was the sloth form), but I finally said the hell with it. How many chances would I get to draw a skeleton/devil monster in this comic?
…well, I guess I could draw them whenever I want.
You certainly can! Let’s face it, big demon skeleton Scapzebub here is a lot better than a skeleton version of him having eaten too many wheat germ cakes…… WHEEEEAAAAAT GEEEEERM!
I mean… ice queen stink-ass kinda has a ring to it. We’re I in Scap’s erm… foot bones(?) I’d want to rub my world domination in my high school bullie’s face. But only in situations of world domination! And even then, maybe I’d just go for a secret, sneaky yet oddly ironic form of moidah.
The line was originally “ice queen bitch”, but I changed it at the last moment (it was one of the final changes made before the comic went off to be printed). I thought “stink-ass” sounded funnier and more childish (and potentially less offensive…unless if there’s a SJW out there defending people who have smelly posteriors).
As for getting revenge on bullies…hoo boy, I could have spent a good ten or twenty pages just having kaiju Scap killing every butthead I went to school with!
Panel One: Huh, did the transformation come with personality changes as well?
Panel Three: Nope, just Scap getting his ham on.
He used up all of his good material rather quickly. If he had the chance to go on any longer he’d probably start rambling about the weather or whether the new season of Archer was as good as the last one.
So… he’s got a bone to pick with Jane Lewinski?
Maybe he should have asked out her sister Monica instead…
Hmmm…should I dig through my archive of jokes from the late 90’s or just let that one slip?
Aw, what the hey. Everyone grab your flannel shirts, your Nirvana CDs, and let the “Oval/Oral” Office jokes begin!
Wait, was his sloth form so unintelligent the mutation ray thing made him smart in kiju form?!? Or is it trying to compensate for his real intelligence?
His sloth form was smart enough to murder the threat that was Zarbonok and to use alien technology to his own advantage. Lesson learned: sloths are both scary-intelligent and VICIOUS PUNKS!
Devil-kaiju Scap just tries to sound eloquent.
Really great art here. Iconic. Like a comic book cover or an old-style monster movie poster. Really well done.
And the petty Scapula punchline is well executed.
Glad you’re enjoying, Gorram Batguy! Old style monster movies and comics were a huge inspiration for this current storyline (petty punchlines are just part of EVERY Scapula storyline).
