i'll write you a tragedy

Yep, he's gonna ride that high and brag about it for a while.

Someone on twitter also asked what he thought about his voice acting, so of course I had to have him react to that too :>

When was the first time you drew him?

I have no idea... What makes someone Prime's strongest fan? Do I have to beat up everyone else? That feels on brand for him...

If it's anything, I've been a fan for a while. I started reading his comics around February 2020, and since then I kept making silly doodles of him doing whatever.

Thanks! Here's a quick sketch I did of her a while back. It seems like colorists can't decide whether she has brown or blonde hair, so I went "what if she has both?"

Conner Kent and Superboy prime wearing the ‘Our get along Shirt’ together.

When Williamson confirmed in an interview that they're meeting again, I already knew I had to draw them in the shirt.

just my two cents on what prime's poketeam is like!

when i was making this, i knew his team:

had to reflect his superpowers and personality/backstory

is mostly old gen because he's nostalgic like that

should function decently in competitive play (in this case, a tanky sun team with plenty of wallbreaking potential)

I help run a theater company and we are putting on Hamlet in a few months, with the concept of Hamlet himself breaking the fourth wall or in other words "Hamlet can see the audience." I had a little bit to do with recommending this idea, but I was not the one who ultimately chose it, and I am ECSTATIC that other people are excited enough about it that we are actually doing this production. I was pretty obsessed with Hamlet before I found your blog years ago, but your stuff has definitely further stoked those flames.

We cast the show just the other day, and a dear friend of mine was cast as Hamlet (again, I am very excited about this, but was not the ultimate decision maker on the point). I've rambled at length to this friend about your Hamlet comics and other stuff, and how much I love your OCs and your thoughts and ideas about Hamlet and Shakespeare etc. He knows how thrilled I am that we're doing this thing, and he knows that you're part of why. 

Anyway, the evening after he got cast we were talking about how hyped we are for the show, and how much work the part is, and ideas we have, and he suddenly stopped mid conversation and was like, "...binary-bird's OC who plays Hamlet...Isn't he named David?"

And I freaked out. 

Because my friend who's just been cast as Hamlet in our "Hamlet can see the audience" production? *His* name is David. Completely unintentionally, we have cast a guy named David as Hamlet in a fourth wall breaking production of the show. I am exceedingly happy. And I just wanted to tell you that.

Anyway, love your stuff, and wishing you all the best. Have a nice day!

You have no idea how much this brightened my day, oh my goodness ;0;

That's so exciting!! And what a crazy coincidence too! I love that you guys are going with the fourth wall breaking concept and I wish I could see your company's take on it. I've always felt like it's baked into the text of Hamlet already (with the play within a play, the theme of surveillance, being doomed by the narrative!) so having a production that highlights that sounds really fun. I hope it all goes smoothly and the cast and crew have a blast with it!

I've probably said this before, but it's still so surreal to me (in a good way) when I learn people talk about David IRL. I'm only used to talking about him online, so it's like he's breached containment somehow.

But yes, to your friend David: congrats!! And break a leg! Welcome to the club of Davids That Play Hamlet, which also includes Mr. Garrick, Mr. Tennant, and Mr. Warner (and uh. Mr. Hammond too, I guess)!

Hmm… That's a tough one. I have yet to associate Prime with a specific actor, and I'm not all that familiar with younger actors these days.

I will say though that I imagine his actor to have eyes like Dane DeHaan's. He's not a perfect pick IMO but in many of his roles there's a cold sort of intensity there mixed in with fragility that I like to think Prime also has.

I may have to start looking for that McFarlane figure now too... Also, fun fact: the DC Direct one (top right) shows up in Adventure Comics #4! It looks good imo, I would've bought it at 50% off.
