Thank you for your comment here, because there are two things I want to say towards your demurs (which will probably be the demurs of other readers, too). a) The English sounds a little off. Well, you see: I'm not a native English speaker. Unfortunately right at this moment I can not afford the help of a professional translator. I'm trying to translate it the best way I can. I don't want Union of Heroes to sound "a little off". I want it to sound the best way possible! So if there is anything wrong with the dialogs: Please, feel free to send me an email and tell me. I will be happy about it and correct it! Thank you. b) Photocomics seem as a cop-out to drawing well for you. Tell you what: You are right! I can not draw well enough to reach the point of quality I would like to see for Union of Heroes. I can only draw in a funny style which would not fit. But I want to deliver the story in the best way possible! By the help of my photographer and my actors I can achieve exactly the mood I want to see – while still having complete control over the layout and style. (And while having lots of fun during the photoshootings! *g*) See it this way: There are many comics out there which are drawn in a not-so-good way. But there are only very few well produced photocomics! I could never reach the "best drawn comic"-spot, ever! Not even the "one of the best 1.000"-spot. But I can reach the one for "one of the best three photocomics"! And that's my aim! Thanks again for your biased comment, Velma! ;-) Now I finally have something to put in my faq-section! Best regards from Germany! Arne A comment from the creator of Union of Heroes to Velma:

The English is a little off... in its sound. And, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't admire comics composed of photos, it seems such a cop-out to drawing well. :/ Maybe I’m just biased, but I couldn’t really get past the first few pages; totally not my thing.
