Hello creators, i just wanted to say that i loooooooooooooooooooove the cartoon,

i just love 'em and i think the ligthing rod should have an gay affair, you know,
cuz hes all about girls he can come out too.... well i say good bye, love u guys
ure doing a great job, now batman and aquaman wont be that lonley....
from costa rica: L .O. L. paulo
Dear
Paulo,
Thank you for your kind and humerous praise of Boy Meets Hero! We're glad
you think that Justin is cute, that means we are doing our jobs right! As
far as Zap-Man having a gay experience, don't hold your breath! With his
obnoxious personality, he's definately not anyone we'd like playing for our
team... Even if he is well endowed, (at least according to Derek!)
Take care and let us know if you ever catch Batman in Aquaman's hunky arms!
Much love,
Chayne & Russell

Dear Chayne and Russell,
I'm so impressed. The story is funny, and very real on so many levels. I'm liking
the characters. I find myself laughing out loud with it's humor. It's so you
two. Keep it up. I feel you have a strong story line going on here. Oh yeah,
the artwork always constantly amazes me.
Love, Mom
Thank
you! It really means a lot coming from you! Russ and
I are putting our all into this project to make it the
best we can. It's nice to get positive responses to our
work. So far we haven't received any negative mail regarding
Boy Meets Hero. Thank you for sticking with it and supporting
us! Love you!

Hey Guys!
I just found Boy Meets Hero today! I've got to say, I love it! It's well-written,
and the art is wonder-full! Great stuff! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Korey
Dear
Korey,
It is always very cool to get compliments from other web comic creators.
It takes a lot of effort to put these things together so I really appreciate
hearing from you that you like our work! I also wanted to let you know that
I got a kick out of your own super heroines and hope that is going well for
you.
Anyway, take care and best of luck to you in everything that you do!
Sincerely, Chayne

Tim
Tim,
Currently we are busily trying to get our fourth and final issue of BMH put
together. It will take a few more months to get it all wrapped up. After
that we plan to get the whole thing printed so we can sell it to the world!
Talk to ya soon and take care.

hey boys,
Andrew from queerty.com. First,
I must thank Russell for his comment on our site last week, which led me to your
site, which i've subsequently included in the second edition of "save me
gay heroes!" check it out.
i love the site. will familiarize more later.
regards,
Andrew.
Andrew,
Thanks so much for mentioning me and Boy Meets Hero last friday on queerty.com. I'm
all about shameless promotion :)
BTW, I love your blog (i'm obsessed, I probably check it ten times a day
:) Hope you liked our comic, we plan on keeping it online for a few
more months and then we want to get it published in a graphic novel format. We're
just over halfway done with the story so we're hoping by next summer we'll
have something in print.
Anyway, thanks again!

Hey Chayne,
I happened to come across your comics when i was searching on Google. I had
no idea that comics like these existed and its really nice to know there is
comics like these because not only do they have really good storylines there
simple to read and understand. It may sound a little strange when i say
that comics are sometimes hard to read but i have come across comics before
that have complicated storylines and the characters are hard to understand
and relate with. Your characters however are the complete opposite there easy
to relate with because some of the characters seem to lead normal lifestyles
yet they are leading a superhero life which is filled with alot of action which
makes the comics interesting to read. Its also nice to see some gay characters
in your comics because this isn't a very common thing in comics the superheros
are always associated with being very manly. I think it's good that you combine
masculinity with a gay character because it shows that a man can have masculinity
and be gay which is often believed that this isn't true. I think its a good
idea if you have straight characters aswell because its promotes that gay and
straight people can be friends and this is something which is often not seen
in television, films, books let alone comics. I think you can learn something
from these comics about equality for gay people especially any straight readers.
I think you have really thought out the characters well and they all have a
good story behind them which is good. It would be really nice if you published
some comic books sometime because i think they would be a really popular choice
especially among regular readers. Your artwork is also very impressive which
just adds to all the good aspects of the comics.
I think this comic will go far once you publish some comicbooks. It has alot
of potential because your comics feature gay characters and have very good
storylines. The storyline is the main part of the comics that does it for me.
There so interesting to read!! So keep up the good work:) I'm really glad i
came across this accidentally.
Sean x
Dear
Sean x,
Wow!
Thank you so much for your wonderful letter! We can't tell you
enough how much we appreciate your kind words! Your comments about Boy
Meets Hero reflect exactly what we are trying to accomplish!
It is so cool to receive e-mails such as yours. It helps more than you
know! We have worked incredibly hard to make sure that Boy Meets Hero
is a good as we can make it. We wanted to illustrate that there are a
variety of gay people in the world and that we all have value! Some of
us my be masculine, some are effeminate, while others are a nice
balance of the two. We want to embrace all the wonderful diversity
that makes people special, gay or straight!
The inspiration for Boy Meets Hero came from that fact that there
aren't very many gay themed comics that deal with the issues that we
do. We wish that there were more main stream gay super heroes, and so
by creating Blue Comet, we hope that he fills that void.
We are getting closer to the day that we can actually publish the
entire story of Boy Meets Hero in a graphic novel format. We still
have several pages to create until that day, but we continue to make
that our goal.
Thank you again. We're so glad that you came across Boy Meets Hero and
that it inspired you to write us! It's people like you that make this
project worthwhile! Take care and keep in touch!

Hey~
Just thought I would drop an e-mail and tell you guys that I think your comic
is quite impressive. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being syndicated
in paper one of these days. I do hope that you have one or two straight
guy characters in there that are nice. Maybe someone for SunStar, a boyfriend,
etc. I just hope we don't end up seeing the comic making fun of straight
guys the way main stream comics have done to gay characters in the past. (Boy
meets Hero should be better than that.) It is nice to see gays portrayed
in a positive light, although I do wonder how acurrate it is to real life at
some points. (Perhaps I am simply jaded being gay myself, lol.) Anyway,
I should be getting back to creating my designs for the temp job I have. Being
a graphic artist may not being paying all the bills right now, but at least
it's something I want to do and I'm not doing something I loath. I am
sure you two know all about that. Best of luck in your future endovours
and your comic.
Mr. Brian B.,
Macomb, IL.
Dear
Brian,
Thank
you so much for your awesome e-mail! We really appreciate what a fellow
graphic artist has to say about Boy Meets Hero.
You
brought up a very good point about including straight characters that
are not jerks. (i.e. Zap-Man) and making fun of straight people; we
only plan to do that to our characters that deserve it, gay or straight!
We do happen to have one straight character who has been talked about
in the comic, but has yet to show up in the story. Keep a look out
for an up-coming scene that features this very important character.
As
far as Sunstar finding a real boyfriend of her own, that is definately
something we want to happen for her as the story progresses. We just
don't know when yet. So don't worry, we have the best intentions for
our characters in mind!
And
finally, thank you for mentioning that Boy Meets Hero might end up
syndicated in a paper someday. That would be awesome if it happened
and we can only hope!
So,
take care and keep in touch. Thanks again for taking the time to write!

Hello Chayne,
By surfing (on one of the gay blog ) I found your website and read the whole
series
I am working at a comic book wholesaler distributing Diamond imported stuff
(comics, toys,..) but also French bandes dessinees
I read a lot of comics (from independent and Vertigo to mainstream marvel and
dc) like retro videogames and horror and sci fi series
Boy Meets Hero is fun, some the of the stories are a bit too nasic for my taste
but the gay jokes were fun (when they talked with their old neighbour on the
beach)
I will keep reading it
Good work
Laurent 38 from Belgium
Hey
Laurent,
Thanks
for your e-mail! "Cute and fun" is just we strive for when
working on Boy Meets Hero! We're glad you are enjoying the story so far.
It's so cool to hear from someone in Belgium! Take care!

will your comic illustrations ever be more than just pg 13?
Transmetals 2
AKA: The Phoenix
Thanks for your
question Transmetals 2, it is actually a very good one. As we have continued
working on Boy Meets Hero we have added small bits of nudity when we
can. We went from simply showing Derek & Justin nude in profile,
to showing Derek from behind in his shower, and finally to showing Derek
full frontal in a non-sexual scene in the WHO decontamination shower.
We feel that what we have shown so far has been fairly tame, and we are planning
a scene that would definately put our comic into a more "adult" category.
However, we do not plan to ever have any explicit imagery depicting hard-core
gay sex. We feel that sexuality is something beautiful and let our readers
determine what happens for themselves.
So thank you for bringing up a valid question regarding how much we are going
to show. We hope you are enjoying the comic and thank you for writing in!

Hey there. I came across Boy Meets Hero throuh GCL and was totally blown away.
I'm a sucker for gay superhero stories but your stand out becasue of the great
artwork and sophistocated storytelling.
I went to your links page and saw you only had a few banners. If you want,
I'd like to exchange banners with ya. I do a comic called Anti-Heroes at www.anti-heroes.net
Keep up the great work, man!
- JC
Dear
JC,
Thank you for your great email and for taking the time to let us know you
dig our work. Also, Thanks for the awesome compliments regarding the art & story!
I checked out your site and got a real kick out of it! Your art & coloring
is really cool & dynamic! Plus, Tai is totaly hot!!! (I especially enjoyed
the Dragonball Z references as I used to watch that show.) We would definately
love to exchange links!
Well, take care & keep up the great work!

Chayne,
I just found your comic... It's wonderful. Is it for sale in regular comicbook
form? I am also curious if there is a part 2,3,4? Thanks for posting your wonderful
comic online, and I look forward to the next installment....again great job!
- Craig
Dear
Craig,
Thanks for writing to us! So far, Boy Meets Hero is only available online.
What we have posted is the entire story thus far. We continue to work on
it everyday and try to post a new page each week if we can. We've completed
about two issues worth of material and our initial story arc will fill about
two more. After it's finished, we do plan on printing it all as a complete
graphic novel. Thank you so very much for your support!

Hi !
This is a sort message to congratulate about Boys meets Hero. I discovered the
comic thanks to a friend o mine.
I must say that it is true that a gay hero is summat really rare and it's
just helping our cause to show people that gay love has nowt to be ashamed of
and that it is just as beautiful as 'straight' love...And what a nice tool your
comic is to this purpose ;) !
So many thanks, sincere congratulation and keep up wi the good work!
yours most sincerly,
- Vince M.
Dear
Vince,
Thank you for writing to us regarding our comic! We really appreciate you

Please send our thanks to your friend for turning you on to our comic! Our
best to you!

Hey guys,
I'm really enjoying "Boy Meets Hero"! It's a great combo of four-color
comic book fun with modern gay sensibilities, plus... hot guys! What's not to
like?
I'm disappointed to hear I'm the first reader to donate, since a comic like this
deserves support. I know what it's like to need the support of fans, so I try
and do what I can for the creators of the things I enjoy. If I'm willing to pay
$2.99 an issue for a DC or Marvel comic (although not always these days), a few
bucks for a comic like yours is no big deal.
Keep the faith and keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to more adventures
of Boy Meets Hero!

Hi!
Your creation was previewed in the Prism Comics Portfolio which I got from
Zan for working on another project.. well, long story short, it's
a GREAT adventure and I can't wait to see what happens next :)
I especially like seeing that your universe is populated by more than just
two superheroes (even if Zap-Man is a bit of a prick, but who said all
superheroes had to be polite optimists? :)) - populated enough to have a
huge world headquarters! Excellent! I can see already how complex
your world is going to be, but not so complex that we lose focus on Justin
and Derek (and Jillian, too).
- Sean
Hey
Sean,
Thanks for the great email! We're really glad that you've enjoyed the comic
so far.
It's great to get someone's perspective on what we are setting up in our
comic. Glad you like it!
It really means a lot when we get fan mail! It's our only form of feedback
and so far it's all been positive.
Anyway, thanks again for writing and for liking our stuff!
Russ & Chayne
March 13th, 2006
May I just say that your
comic is the hottest f***ing thing I have everseen ;) Butt why don't
you show more PENIS you should have one issue that is just Derek and Justin
f***ing like crazy. (or masturbating, give them both double handers, and
show every thing naked).
- Big Penis Man
Dear
Mr. Man,
Thanks for writing to let us know you like our comic!
As far as showing any kind of graphic sexuality, we have opted to leave any
of that up to the reader's imagination. (And judging from your e-mail, you've
got quite a "handle" on yours!) So we don't plan on depicting anything
quite so... "arousing" as what you are suggesting!
Anyway, as consolation we do have a shower scene that features some hot male
frontal nudity. Hope you enjoy!
Chayne & Russ

Hella,
I absolutely loved your comic, as an open minded bisexual person I find ease
to read, but I suppose that most heterosexual close minded people(W.Bush(lol))
would not be able to read the comic and would criticise it as bad influence
for children or something like that.
I would love to read more.
And then again, congrats
for such a great idea, totally out of the box. lol. ;D Totally loved it.
- Rod
Rod,
Thanks
for writing in to tell us how much you like our comic! We're really
glad that you're enjoying it so far.
We
are hoping that our comic will be well received by all sorts of people
after it is finished. It's our desire to show that even gay people
can be heroes, plus have a successful love life! (And I think if you
look hard enough, you will find that most heterosexuals aren't as closed-minded
as you think!)
Make
sure to visit our site again from time to time as we continue the comic.
We have a lot of fun stuff planned ahead!
Thanks
again for taking the time to write us!

Hello Chayne,
I just wanted to email you and thank you for making this comic. Your artwork
and talent is truly awesome, and as an artist and avid comic reader myself,
this is the kind of Superhero comicbook artwork that I've always wanted to
create. Keep up the great work!
P.S.- Will you be updating again? I anxiously (and patiently) await the next
exciting episode.
Respectfully,
The 13th Phoenix
Dear
13th Phoenix,
Wow!
Thanks for the praise. I was really glad to receive your e-mail, it
totally made my day!
My
inspiration for Boy Meets Hero comes from having read thousands of
comics growing up and wishing there was a gay relationship that I could
relate to. I also love super heroes, (especially the hot ones!) and
I wanted to create characters that are heroic and colorful.
My
partner Russ and I work everyday on this project and try to add a new
page every Monday. We have some exciting stuff coming up, so stay tuned!
We have planned out the main story arc and will collect the web comic
into a printed form once it is finished.
It's
awesome to hear from a fellow artist. I'm flattered that you like Russell's
and my artwork. We work hard on Boy Meets Hero and our payoff is hearing
that people enjoy what we create!
Thanks
so much for taking the time to write and let us know you like the comic!
Sincerely,
Chayne

I was surfing across random webcomics when I saw "Boy Meets Hero." I
think it's a fairly new idea, beautifully drawn, and just plain great. I
like it when things shed positive light on the gay community. Hopefully it'll
continue, and I hope you don't mind the (rather plain) praise I've given.
Travis P.
Dear
Travis,
Thank you for writing us! It was great to get some fan-mail after all of
the hard work Russ and I put into the comic. Shedding a positive light on
the gay community is our highest priority. I really want to let people know
that gays can be heroes too! And even though Blue Comet is afraid of his
sexuality for the time being, Justin will always be there to help him as
he discovers his path!
Thank
you also for complimenting our art. We appriciate praise in any form!
Together, Russ and I put extra effort to make sure Boy Meets Hero is
a good as we can make it. We definitely plan to continue. Be sure to
check back each Monday as we add a new page and further the adventures
of Derek and Justin!

Great work!!!!! Love the look of you comic. I hope to see it printed. My name
is Roger Moore, but I go as R-Man. My comic site is www.manandroid.com. Its gay
science fiction...Check it out I would love your opinion. I give you a
review as well.
PS Would you like to trade links to our site?
Roger Moore (a.k.a.
R-Man)
Hi
and thanks for the compliment. It's always a rush to get praise, especially
from other comic creators. We checked out "Man and Android" and
thought it was awesome! Your story is really funny and engaging!
We'd love to trade links! We're in the process of adding a few links
on our home page so we'll add manandroid.com once we get it updated.
It'll
be great to spread the word about our sites! Boy Meets Hero is a work
in progress and has many more pages until our story is finished. So
far we have 24 pages pencilled. We are shooting for around 80 or so
to finish the story. Once it is completed we plan to print it in one
collected graphic novel and then try to get it into book stores and
comic shops.
Thanks
again for liking our work! We'll be in touch!
Russ
and Chayne
And
of course, a letter from Mom...
Wow! Fun, great scripting
and enough humor to make me chuckle. Keep it up!
A fan all around.
-Kathy Avery
Proof
positive that I have the coolest Mom in the world! Thanks for all of the
support you have always given Russ and me. Also, thanks for all of the acceptance
you have given us regarding our lifestyle.
-Love,
Chayne
