"So that you never feel like you're alone in this world, I'll be right beside you, holding your hand."

Artist: Kim Taewoo, K.Will, Junsu (2PM) & Jonghyun (SHINee)
Song: Lies + One Candle
Nationality: Korean
Genre: Ballad / Pop / Rap
Summary: A song about lying to someone while breaking up with them and a song about giving support to those who need it

My Opinion: Ooooh, four of the best voices in Kpop covering classic G.O.D. songs? What's not to love? All four of them really brought their A-game to this performance. I already knew they were awesome but it's always nice to be reminded just how much :D Poor Jjong looked so tiny next to the rest of them but he let his voice show off his talent. K.Will was adorable and sounded great while Junsu just wowed me. I mean, I know he's the best singer in 2PM but he gets so few lines that when he gets to sing with all his heart, it blows you away. And of course, Taewoo was fantastic as well. I wouldn't expect anything less from g.o.d.'s talented magnae. All in all, this was such a treat for the ears. So much talent on stage at once!

"To remain as friends, I had to push the confessions down my throat. But now I'll confess to you."

Artist: 2AM & Davichi
Song: Confession Of A Friend + 8282
Nationality: Korean
Genre: Ballad / Pop
Summary: A song about confession your love to a friend and a song about wanting back a lover

My Opinion: This is another genius collaboration. I couldn't think of a more perfect match myself. Their voices blend beautifully and they looked like they had so much fun singing each others' songs. I thought it would be hard for me to take JoKwon seriously after his other performances but his talent and passion for singing really can't be disputed. Seulong and Jinwoon sounded good too but I was most impressed with Changmin. The boy knocked his lines out of the park! 2am and Davichi both sounded fantastic and perfectly in-sync with each other during this performance. So enjoyable!

UPDATE NOTES:

BRINSON: Issue five progress: almost done penciling page two, while HAI has already turned around the inks and flats on page one. I'm shooting to be done with page three (if not four) by the end of the week, so hopefully you guys won't be waiting too much longer. ^^ Until then, Pete and Joe have the reins!

PETE: So.... not one death threat from the first edition of "Boss Comics". I am impressed. So, since you haven't complained yet, here is installment 2. This one features our favorite grumpy old man and his adorable cat (I don't draw animal butts like Brinson does). Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I'm having a blast and Brinson and Joe just keep shaking their heads.



BRINSON: Today's incentive is probably the best thing I've drawn all month -- it just makes me so happy. And now I really want to write a story for it. >.>

( EVIL DIVA : BOSS COMICS ONE )

UPDATE NOTES:

BRINSON: OKAY, SO

The plan is such: I am going to get five pages of issue five done before I start posting. I know this means a little extra wait for you guys, but I think it will really help in the long run -- hopefully, it will make life less stressful for HAI and I, as well as provide some buffer in case I get sick or anything big comes up. For what it's worth, I am really sorry for this extra delay. The team just thought it would be better for everyone involved (you guys too!) if we weren't working so close to the wire.

PS THE COMIC SANS IS IRONIC OKAY

PETE: Ok, so you're all probably scratching your heads going "huh?" This is my attempt at a little humor, and a way to let Brin get ahead on the next issue. I actually have a story arc for this, but it is sillier that what you may be used to. I also have a very minimalist style, hence stick figure theater. If you hate it, I'll make Joe draw something next time. If you like it, you might want to seek counseling. Either way, enjoy the ride with me for a week or two. Or don't. Arrrgh!



Today's incentive wishes you a very happy 2010! I plan to update incentives while I get these pages in the can, so at least I'll be contributing a little bit. :3

You'll find amazing icons and wallpapers and layouts and tutorials over there. But probably you all already know it, because it's a great comm. :)

HAM is back with a new single! This one is very different from "T.T. Dance". Looks like they are taking the cute route in the music industry.

This is album comes with 2 songs. A regular version of the song and an acoustic version.

How did this year go by so fast :\

I'm going to get my resolution list done now... resolutions for the comic, that is!

- improve at perspective/ interesting interior shots
- try to claw my way to one page of buffer for this or next chapter
- attract new readers by force of will alone
- get back to 2x a week updates once summer hits (contingent on surviving until summer)
- remember to draw lamps
- pimp some more awesome comics (once I find them)
- brainstorm merch that will be attractive and cool and affordable
- try to finish the comic before I die*

Anyone else have any comics resolutions? art resolutions? plain old regular life-improvement ones?
