18. Gilda And Meek "Warlocks: Beyond Reality: Part Four: The Three Deaths" (Un-Iverse #30)

Rating: PG-13. Strong bloody violence, drug use and overdose, and disturbing depiction of torture.






























Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #18 "Warlocks: Beyond Reality: Part Four: The Three Deaths" (Un-Iverse #30) 

Best cliffhanger ever. It's hilarious and infuriating in equal measure. Part of you is cheering Meek on and the other part is simply appalled. And both of those feelings are right and valid. 

I think the thing I like most about the cliffhanger, is that it's obvious it couldn't end any other way. The reader is made uncomfortable by the fact that Meek and Augatha are about to kiss. And Meek shoved her off the cliff instead to cast the die and make sure THAT didn't happen. Why? Because you KNOW Gilda would have found out later, and God knows how judgmental Gilda is about shit like that, and how much shade she would have given him over it. He never would have heard the end of it. And not good-natured jokes either. She'd be legit pissed and shaming him nonstop for weeks over it. He pushed Augatha off the cliff instead to simplify matters entirely. And honestly, that being the reason he does it makes him a total bastard. My character surrogate, ladies and gentlemen! He sucks. 

Gilda putting away the Dark Idol before it messes with her head is why both The Un-Iverse and its characters are awesome. You NEVER see that. And in the SAME damn issue Meek walks away from the Soundbreeze tree because people are responsible for their own actions. I love this story and these characters, and I love telling it.

Welcome To Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse!

My name is Matt Zimmer and I have created a crudely drawn comic book (mostly in the pencil stage) and I have drawn over 50 issues at this point. I will be posting them all on this blog.  What is Gilda And Meek about?  It's about several things at once. It's a story of a Lucky Universe in a Multiverse teeming with Unlucky Ones and how our hero navigates that to her own advantage. It's a funny animal book that bit by bit reveals a huge fantasy and science fiction underpinning, much like Bone. It starts off as an erstwhile comedy until you realize it's actually been a drama the entire time. It's a story that after you read all 90 issues, you'll want to reread them again, as the best reading of The Un-Iverse isn't the first, it's the second. It's a bunch of random and seemingly unrelated characters and stories building and crossing over until they collide in an epic 19-part finale. It's about the antagonistic and loving relationship betwee...

1. Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Iverse #1)

Rating: PG-13 (Bloody Violence and Drug Use).  A Note About The Special Edition Of Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" The first version of Groundwork looked absolutely terrible. I had not drawn in over 15 years when I put it to paper in 2015 and my weak arm and lettering indecisions made the issue look incredibly unprofessional. Not my best foot forward for getting people into Gilda And Meek on this site.  So I've taken the occasion to entirely redo the artwork with some minor script revisions. It looks much closer to my current art style and yet I feel the rough spirit of the first version is still present. As the Groundwork for the canon, it was sort of designed to be the worst issue to start out with, and to be built upon and improved from there. I think it's probably still the worst issue (as designed) but I'm no longer ashamed of the artwork. We'll see if readers agree.  Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #1 "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Ivers...

2. Gilda And Meek "The Otterman Cometh" (Un-Iverse #2)

Rating: PG. Nothing too objectionable.   Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #2 "The Otterman Cometh" (Un-Iverse #2) Two apologies are due the reader. 1. Sorry for the sucky artwork. As the Special Edition of "Groundwork" proves, it DOES get better as it goes along. I hope you won't be TOO concerned about it. 2. I am VERY sorry for Donna Demented. Extremely. Worst character I have ever created and she deeply shames me. The worst part is her upcoming arc is absolutely crucial to the mythology of one of the characters, and I couldn't excise her even if I wanted to. The bad Serial Mom rip-off almost seems to exist to make feminists the butt of some unfunny joke. I swear that isn't really her intention, but she can certainly be read that way. An online friend of mine told me not to feel TOO b...
