Had to pay tribute and honor the 2 series that heavily inspired my manga inspired comic book “LA BAMBA.” Both of these show/series pay a huge part in the creation of my superhero world. And what better way to pay tribute, than to recreate the first issue cover art of “ONE-PUNCH MAN.” Funny enough… when I thought about doing this for a cover for my series (I thought of the idea, sometime in December of last year). Coincidentally Image comics and Invincible thought about doing the same exact thing (They recreated the cover art around March 12th-14th). I just thought it’s funny how they did it around the same time that I thought about doing it. I guess great minds think alike! But, I just think it’s dope! If you like Invincible or One-Punch Man. I have a very strong feeling you’ll like my series and the story that will bring set up for the future and going forward. Lots of Blood, Romance, Gore, Dark Themes, Action, & Etc will be shown in this original series. But, that’s all for now. More updates coming soon. So stay tuned for more!

Based on Anthony’s choice of games, his personality reflects a power-driven idealist who thrives on freedom, spectacular action, and overcoming odds. His lineup is packed with games centered on rebellion, choice, and immense cosmic or superhuman power, showing that he values agency and epic scales. The inclusion of Infamous, Infamous 2, and Infamous: Second Son highlights a core fascination with power, morality, and independence. • He likely enjoys having control over his own destiny and values the freedom to make his own rules. • He appreciates stories about ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances who must decide whether to use their strength to protect others or serve themselves. Featuring Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 reveals a personality that loves high-stakes progression and pushing past limits. • He is motivated by growth, self-improvement, and scaling up his capabilities. • He thrives in high-energy environments and loves the thrill of an epic, fast-paced challenge where individual effort can alter the course of time or history. Games like Batman Begins and Spider-Man 3 indicate a strong internal moral compass, but one that isn’t afraid to engage with darker, grittier themes. • He respects discipline, tactical thinking, and the idea of working from the shadows to achieve justice. • The “Black Suit” themes of Spider-Man 3 suggest he enjoys exploring the tension between control and letting loose. Rounding out his list with Tony Hawk’s Project 8 (or Project Wasteland) and Grand Theft Auto V shows a massive appreciation for open-world freedom, style, and counter-culture. • He has a relaxed, creative side that enjoys finding flow, expression, and rhythm (classic Tony Hawk traits). • He loves absolute sandbox freedom where he can escape rigid structures, cause a bit of chaotic fun, and explore massive worlds at his own pace. With these additions, Anthony’s expanded list reinforces that he is a natural team player, a deeply nostalgic adventurer, and someone with a massive creative spark. While his original list leaned heavily into solitary, high-stakes power trips, these new additions show a much warmer, cooperative, and

Would you play a “LA BAMBA RPG” Game if it existed?! Also, long before I thought about making a comic book of my OC “Bamba.” I originally wanted to make an independent video game. That idea of the game got put on hold when I came across some talented artists in the comic book and manga world. Plus, making games is mad expensive. So is comics, but nowhere near as close to making games. One day, I’d love to try and bring back the video game idea I have. What I will say… is that the video game would be a prequel to the comic. And where the video game ends will be where the comic begins. Ps… these sprite sheet (walk/run) animations have been sitting on my Patreon for about 3 or 4 years now. So consider subscribing to my Patreon to see more cool stuff like this on there! I also have some music made for the game on my Patreon as well if you want to hear and get the tone of what the game will sound/feel like. That’s all for now. More posts coming soon!

Fan Casting my Manga Inspired Comic book “LA BAMBA” these are some Actors/ Actresses that I’d cast for a Live Action Version of my Series to really bring the characters to life. Had lots of fun doing this and may do a sequel with other actors I almost chose OR... I could a cast some other actors for other characters from my series. Until then... enjoy this video and don’t forget to like, comment, and follow to support my projects!

This is from a Fan Made Batman series I was working on that’s currently on hold (Drawn August 31, 2023). One day I’d like to bring it back and work on it. But, this what MY Batman would look like. He would be 2 years in and the series would take place in 1999. I wanted to find a perfect mix with the Matt Reeves Batman and the Tim Burton Batman suit. I gave my Artist some creative liberties as well with the Batman Logo and belt. The all Matte Black/Dark Grey suit is when he wants to look stealthy (with the press of a button on his Bat chest piece). You see what his hair normally looks like versus the messy/sweaty look from slide 2. My Series would have been a Horror/Thriller and really show Batman’s true detective work. And how he’s still learning and trying to discover “What Batman Stands For” while taking on his new and biggest threat yet. The original script I wrote was so good and took shape into something else, something more original. And I felt like the story I was making could work better and an original comic with original characters. That’s all I’ll say for now. This art has been sitting on my Patreon for a while. So if you wanna see more art that I haven’t posted to Instagram, Scripts, or Etc.

Name: Bamba Age: 19 Height: 5’2 Weight: 94.5 lbs Ethnicity: Mutant Backstory & Setting: Bamba was born a mutant. A literal “bombshell” in the most unusual sense. His body is shaped like a cartoonish bomb, with a round core, stubby arms and legs, and a look that makes him stand out from the crowd. Abandoned at birth, he was left on the doorstep of Dr. Brundle, a kind-hearted and eccentric scientist who couldn’t ignore the helpless child. Dr. Brundle adopted Bamba, raising him as his own and becoming both a surrogate father and mentor. Bamba’s origins remain shrouded in mystery: his biological parents are completely unknown, and his mutant condition is unlike anything seen before. Despite this, Bamba grew up with a sense of hope and big dreams, inspired by the legendary heroes of his youth. Superduck, Quick Breeze, Rocket Man, and Red-X. These larger-than-life figures became his role models, fueling his ambition to become the next great hero of his city. The story takes place in 3005, in the city of Cherryboyle, New York. A futuristic metropolis built on the ruins of what was once Coney Island, renamed after a devastating superhero war in the late 2020s. Cherryboyle is a city split in two: the East side, Bamba’s hometown, is vibrant and relatively welcoming to mutants, filled with beauty and diversity; the West side, by contrast, is gritty, crime-ridden, and plagued by extreme prejudice against mutants. Despite the challenges of growing up in a world that often sees him as a “freak,” Bamba is undeterred. He dedicates himself to saving lives. Starting in the East side but never hesitates to help wherever he’s needed, even in the hostile West side or far beyond. Racism and bias follow him, but he remains committed to proving himself as a true hero, determined to make the world a better place. Appearance: Bamba’s unique physiology sets him apart. His body is round and bomb-like, supported by skinny, short legs and arms. He wears two tanned gloves with dark blue fingertips , and a pair of vintage Jordan 1 OG Chicago sneakers (1985) with black laces. His look is both iconic and practical, reflecting his love for sneakers and his playful, youthful spirit. His gloves s
