Thanks for the constructive criticism, I do understand where you are coming from -- one of the quirks of the medium for sure. And yes, the Men in Black being the bad guys cause they are white is one of the bad jokes that goes on between the cast behind the scenes. It's funny because it was totally unintentional -- I needed the MiB to be ambiguous for story purposes -- but since the cast wasn't white it looked like they just represented "The Man" trying to oppress them all. Sadness. Funny sadness. But the cast are all a good fun bunch of folks. You can see them in this video talking about the comic and being in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UwCcErzgH8 Have a great, safe week! And keep doing a great show! Hey!

As a half black/half hispanic webcomic creator (some of my readers were surprised to find out I was black! lol) when I created my comic one of the main things I wanted to put forward was cast diversity. If you look at my lead cast you will see black, asian, native american and hispanic characters...set in a sci-fi/fantasy story with aliens, ghosts, werewolves, vampires and all sorts of supernatural and paranormal quirkiness... That's just different. And it was a point I wanted to get across in my work. We're all used to seeing the "status quo" of characters take on these types of situations but so long as I can work in the realm of fiction writing I want to give the world new, diverse heroes.
