Happy Comic Con Week!

Since Comic Con is in full swing in San Diego, this seemed like the ideal time to revisit one of our favorite pages from SMASH 2: FEARLESS.

When Chris scripted this page, his direction was that readers should be able to stare at the image for "hours" and still find new, fun things to see. We hope you'll agree that Kyle's artwork delivered that—and then some!

If you're at SDCC, have a safe and exciting time! And we hope you don't wander into, uh, any big battles...

Meet the Bad Guys: BRUTE!

We don't want to make judgements about the gaggle of bad guys you'll find in SMASH 2: FEARLESS (need we mention—on sale now!). We think they're all pretty nasty and great in their own way. But frankly, in terms of sheer size and strength, there's no comparison—BRUTE is the biggest and baddest!

First glimpsed in the background of Book One: TRIAL BY FIRE, Brute is the enormous assistant of the villainous scientist, DR. COBB, who specializes in crafting super-suits for crooks who want to move up in the criminal food chain. (He also, on occasion, builds giant machines that can absorb the powers of a superhero like Smash.)

Silent but deadly, Brute is fiercely loyal. When Dr. Cobb gives him an assignment, he moves mountains—or buildings, or streets, or entire cities—until the task is complete. Even with all his super-strength, Smash will definitely have his hands full with this one!

Meet the Bad Guys: Bullet!

With SMASH 2: FEARLESS so close to publication, we want you to meet some of the brand-new bad guys who will make life difficult for our fifth-grade superhero. You already met Derby. Now here's BULLET!

Zeke Huston is a small-time crook who's tired of living from one botched robbery to the next.

So, he hires the nefarious scientist Dr. Cobb to build him a super-suit so Zeke can make the leap into the big-time supervillain category.

The problem is, Zeke doesn't exactly have the money to pay for his new suit, so he plans on stealing it.

But he didn't plan on having to get past Dr. Cobb's very large assistant, Brute! (More on him next time.)

With his incredible speed and nearly indestructible helmet, Bullet is ready to give Smash—and anyone else who gets in his way—the fight of his life!

How does it end up? Find out in SMASH 2: FEARLESS—on sale everywhere May 8th, 2018!
