The Holiday Bonus Art continues with Max’s tribute to “KingSword” from the epic metahuman ensemble webcomic Vanguard by Dan Butcher! Dan’s a fellow Collective of Heroes member and Vanguard is a comic both Max and I read regularly. It is vast in scope and depth of character, although Dan has — ahem — been thinning the ranks a bit lately. Given recent developments, Max’s tribute to KingSword’s heroic glory may seem all the more fitting now. If you’re looking for a comic to binge on over the holiday break, Vanguard (or indeed, any of the Collective of Heroes offerings) would be great places to start!
We ourselves will be back January 5th, and BTW, if you enjoyed the art, an upvote would be greatly appreciated!

Absolutely amazing. Love this! It’s so great seeing one’s characters handled with such skill.
Just finished my archive binge (with a three day interruption – I went to _The Specialists_ like you suggested and got hooked over there too).
Love the story-line, the art work and the occasional fan-boy service cosplay costumes. 8)
Took me awhile to get through because I had to read all your bloglettes along the way – my favourite was the Squirrel in the swimming pool until I reached the legendary motorbike callback. “I don’t think this is the job for me.” You might not be able to do bad ass lines when needed, but I think that was understated comic genius.
Look forward to this years comics.
I want to say something, but I’m afraid I’d spoil it for anyone going to check out Vanguard. Then again, the current page of it is a spoiler for any new readers anyway…
