I almost wish I'd come up with this idea myself.

As you probably know, many of the characters in Cosmic Hellcats are based on models I know in real life. In fact, the very premise of the comic of the comic was just inspired by wanting to do a photoshoot with the girls in their space ninja outfits. For about two seconds I considered the idea of doing a photocomic with the girls instead of having Max draw it.

For about two seconds...

Then I realized how monumentally painful and time-consuming that was going to be. 

So I'm in awe of Union of Heroes. You might remember that Arne, the creator of UOH filled in with a guest strip a couple weeks ago. Well if you didn't check Union of Heroes out then, you should now.

Basically, the idea is that Marc, a regular guy without much going on in his life, is hanging out in his apartment one day when a superhero from another world teleports in and tells him that in an alternate reality he is the worlds greatest superhero. Sadly, his otherworld counterpart has gone missing, but there are grave dangers afoot and the world needs him. So Marc is teleported to this other world where he must not learn to control with emerging abilities and cope in a world which he knows very little about (despite being considered its greatest hero). With the help of supporting heroes, he must deal with everything from villains to impressing the girl of his dreams, who of course in his own world is just-a-friend(you know what it's like). 

Union of Heroes is perfect for anyone who's ever wanted to be a superhero but has felt stuck in their own mundane life. It's like the TV show Heroes, but entrenched in a much geekier world. Just like the one every comic fan lives in. It's clever and creative and certainly worth looking into. From concept to execution the whole thing is just brilliant. So go check them out. And tell them that Cosmic Hellcats sent you.

Today's guest strip is by K. Stauffie. Stauff is an up and coming comic book artist working on several major projects. You'll notice that Glover is alive in this strip, on the CH-9 and it's to be continued. That's because Stauff has agreed to do several strips in an alternate universe over the coming weeks. As he finishes them, they will be appearing in place of Hellcats Cosmos. 

Come back on Monday for the first installment in the next year of Cosmic Hellcats Adventures.

Today's comic is brought to you by General Sui'ggiy of the High Rigellian Army. As you know, Swiggy is currently being held captive (err, I mean as a pet) by Jessi and as such currently has no active website for us to link to.

Today's Cosmic Hellcats Guest strip brought to you by Arne and Jens of Union of Heroes. Check them out for more great photocomic action

Anyway, after this week, we'll be taking a small break to have some guest strips up. I'm looking forward to that. It's always great to see other people's takes on our characters. After that we'll be returning with more exciting Hellcat action and introducing some more characters.

Which reminds me. A special thank you to the real life Mickey, Nikki, T'kane and Admiral Kitty who lent their likenesses to characters in this strip. If you'd like to someday be featured in a Cosmic Hellcats strip then please send a picture of yourself dressed as a Hellcat (or some other alien animal that you think might make sense) to feedback@cosmichellcats.com. Who knows, you might be in the next storyline too.
