Young Protectors on Break

Americana Jr and Young Herakles enjoying some rest in the park. A.Jr sure is happy to have ALL of YH’s attention for once, as she has a secret crush on her teammate.

A former teen model and a junior bodybuilder, we’ve seen their latest adventures in full here on THE BEHOLDER, a story that tells the true founding of the main team, the All-New Protectors, and their junior offshoot plays a part in it:

These Young Protectors were originally conceived as a marketing ploy, models and teen actors that could go to PR events as the supposed understudies, while the “real” Protectors would fly around saving the world.

Never was it truly planned to bring them into the proper team once they completed their training. But these young individuals have feelings and ambitions, too, and dream of heroic acts, of being a true inspiration for the young population!

So much so, that a previous third member literally “exploded” from feeling disrespected. While that third member has been MIA, these two have tried to carry on as well as they can. Let’s wish them luck!

12 Incursion from a Different Time and Space P12: HIS Loss

Back to our usual programming – for the final page of our “Incursion” Epic!

If this “Alan” doesn’t appreciate a good adventure and the friendship of a medieval knight / former Scotland Yard Inspector, then it’s certainly HIS loss!

Could this really be? We are at the end of this story! We hope you enjoyed it, whatever you may be!

Next: A tale about BELONGING!

Summer Rooftop Party 2025

It’s summer in the BEHOLDERverse, so Captain Evening has once more invited all his superhero friends (and maybe a couple villains, too?) to his rooftop for a glorious, CLOTHING OPTIONAL, and EPIC shindig at the Fortress of Evening!

This is a small picture, so of course it can’t fit all the guests that heeded the call.

And while a few of the character “pairings” / charas chatting w/ each other, are intentional and reference their history and past adventures, many “pairings” are entirely random and a fun way to make different characters from different creators interact.

So obviously, your faithful cosmic being is exhausted now and can’t name all the characters in this post just YET. (He will, in the next update hopefully). Can YOU name them all 😃?

Shout-out and Thank You to all the creators and friends, whose original characters are used w/ friendly permission:

@cyberkitten01 , @ZhaxRa , @TULIO19mx , @jay042 , @burstlion , @maltorramus , @Xailenrath-Universe, (And even a daughter of the @Misfits-Of-Mischief .

Thank you!!! Happy Summer to you all!!

11 Incursion from a Different Time and Space P11: …And the Earth Swallowed Him

Finally, Liath gets her hands on the thieving sword thief! The Odds went into the situation with a solid plan, but it wouldn’t have worked out so well without the intervention of Mr. Arbogast.

Thankfully, when it comes to restoring the world inside and outside of the comic book, they are in the same… page!
