About time! *huggles Sparky* I love this comic. So funny... *continues laughing as he reads on*
Dude, I was intimidated by the number of links at first, but this comic is awesome.
Very well done!
See...here's the thing...
It's really freak'n hard to make me laugh at a comic...but you managed to pull it off!
Love it, Sparky! Hilarious!
Hey Sparky my good man! Let me say you have a great sense of humor. Lol the cover alone had me going 
I haven't had a chance to finish reading it all yet cause I'm at work. So I did a quick skim through to find the cameos and when I saw Gill Bates tagging the wall I had to wipe a tear away from my eye. A little further down I found my version of Barbeque Chicken and almost peed my pants, almost. And I actually found a Cameo of my main Engineer further down. I think I may have everyone beat with 2 cameos in issue 12. Don't believe me just check the link in my signature. 
Tanks Sparky.
Good to see everyone seems to be enjoying the comic so far. I'll be getting to work on the next issue right away, or at least after I've had some fun with Issue 8.

Great stuff, especially Gill spray painting the wall. But no evil Sparky? Awwww.
WOOTY WOOT that's Acid Queen on page 25 err um smacking her rear
Too funny Sparky thank you.
Also Gill's cameo was hillarious.

Evil Sparky was the one in the clone tank, being gloated over by Recluse.
Incredible work, Sparky! I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
So, tell me. How does one get a cameo in your comic? Just curious.
"It's hard for you to be yourself, if you don't know who you really are."
Omg I cant believe I havent seen this beofre, so awesome.
My fav part.
"I want to fight the nazi's"
"Were suppose to be villains.
"I can be a villain and still fight the nazis!...I lost my helmet."

If you want to have a cameo all you have to do is send me your character data from a demorecord(post it here or PM me). Alternatively you can provide a screenshot and I'll do my best to reproduce the character. Also any personality quirks and catch phrases you can provide will help. And don't forget to include the character's AT and powersets.

All I can say is ... WOW! I can't believe I missed this comic before. This is even better than the "official" comic, by a long-shot.
I am REALLY looking forward to the next issue.
My favorite part is the bit with the crab spider trying to fire the longfang cannons at Dark Desire. I laughed so loud my flatmates came over to see what all the fuss was about.
Would you mind if I downloaded the pics so I can print them out in paper format? I promise I will not sell them, I just would like to bind them so I can put them in sleeves with the rest of my comic collection.
Great Job! I can't believe I hadn't seen this before.
"It is my duty as a hero to save you..."
"Villains, Sparky! Villains!"
"...ummm...sorry" *Drop*
Why I find that so funny is beyond me...I think it reminds me of the old Warner Bros. cartoons.
Nobody "gets" me, Baby! I'm the wind...
Chicks dig Giant Robots!
I love the Longbow part.
Also, you're a lousy shot.
Hmmm, it appears that I need to do some advertising.
And I don't mind if anyone wants to print out my comics for themselves.

Yeah, you do. I've known of you for a long time, but due to the long intervals between comics and your lack of cross-posting (darn rules!), a lot of people might pass you by. And even if they do see you, the name Sparky might not stand out.
To me, though, it does. I've been reading your stuff for a while now, and it's fantastic. You have a great talent in not only creating these, but keeping a solid story with incredible amounts of humor.
Wow, great comic!
best issue yet!
ive said it once, and ill say it again, you sir are very talented! cant wait for the next one!
This is really, really good!
Crap, now I have to go read all the back issues. Another weekend shot to dust....

Thanks for the praise, my ego feels sufficiently inflated now. 
I truly wish I could put out the comic on a more regular basis but unfortunately work tends to get in the way. Maybe I can try a biweekly comic... anyway I enjoy doing the comic so I'll keep going for as long as I am able.

Which reminds me, how do you make them anyway? I assume you /demorecord, then go back and edit the characters to what/who you need them to be, then play them back and take a Screenshot at just the right time. Seems like it'd be awfully hard to get all those shots just right o.o
Also: Yay inflated ego!

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. I'm at the point now where I'm doing a demorecord simply to get the position of the camera and my character. From there I basically remove everything else(if I can) and add in only the items I need. The large group shots in the last issue were a pain to do as I had to edit the demo, launch it, check to see if everything worked, stop it, fix problems, launch it again and so on until everything lined up just right. Worth the effort though.

Wow! Can't believe I didn't see this sooner! That is very funny. Especially the rescuing, and subsequent dropping, of the damsel in distress.
And Vine got a cameo! YAY! Thanks Sparky!
Here's the latest issue of Sparky once again posted on Photobucket so I apologize to all of you stuck behind a firewall at work.

I did my best to include as many cameos as possible and if I missed any they will most likely appear in the next issue. I would also like to thank all of those that allowed my to use their characters.
And as always, go check out CoHcomics.com where there are now 100 player created comics.
