Welcome to the Fan Mail Page!
Interested in letting us know what you think about our wonderful web-comic? Well all you have to do is send us an e-mail telling us how much you enjoy our work and how wonderful we are!!! Chances are, if your letter is really cool, you will find it here!

So sit back and enjoy what some of our readers have had to say...

January 8th, 2007

I am totally psyched that Boy Meets Hero is going to be published. I am a huge comic collector, and will be psyched to own this book. I've even gotten my partner Chad heavily addicted.

What I've read of the book, I love. Unfortunately I don't spend as much time online at home as I do at work, so I'm definitely interested in the print version.

Have you guys ever gone to Comicon. Chad and I went to San Diego this past year. It was crazy! We did get to meet Joe Phillips though. I bought his Connor Kent aka Superboy print and he autographed it.
Will you guys get more of the profits if we buy an autographed copy. I rather own that , and want you to make out in the deal.

I'll also respond to you on myspace. You guys are in my top friends.
Peace,
David

David!

Thanks for all your support! You rock!! Yes, we've been to comic-con a few times, the first couple of trips we were promoting our first comic project called "The Wonderverse". Then we attended again in 2006 and it was CRAZY! I couldn't believe how many people were crammed in there, lol.

As for our profits on the book, YES please wait and buy a copy from us! Part of the publishing deal is that our "payment" from the publisher is in copies of the book for us to sell so we're counting on our long-time fans to come through for us and pick up a signed copy from us :)

Thanks for being so enthusiastic about BMH, fans like you give us the motivation to keep on comic-bookin'!

All the best!!
Russ

P.S. I'm gonna head over to myspace now and move you up into our top friends area ;)

Hey John,
Thanks for your e-mail! We've been waiting to tell our fans since last
November that BMH will be a hardcover graphic novel published from Bruno
Gmunder. It's so cool that you found out before we were able to make the
official announcement on our site! Thanks for pre-ordering it!

We've been busting our butts enhancing the pages so that long-time fans will
get a much better product that the online version. Hope you enjoy it
when it's released!

Thanks again!
-Chayne

Actually I think we proposed Ryan Carnes to play Derek/Blue Comet in a
previous poll. But heck, if Mr. Carnes wants to play Justin Summers in
"BMH the Movie", who am I to say no!? He is too hot for words!

Hope you are having a great New Year! Thanks for writing in!
-Chayne

Sheldyn!
Thanks for writing in again! I LOVE the art you sent in! Seeing that in the inbox really made my day! I'm glad the comic got you so excited, lol. We have a lot of fun stuff planned for 2008, you will definitely be seeing a lot more of Justin and Derek! In addition, we're currently working on a "special edition" graphic novel of Boy Meets Hero that is going to feature enhanced art and several new scenes. We'll be announcing all the details soon so keep an eye on our site for details.

Take care,
Russ

Dear Will,
You are so very welcome! Thank you for your wonderful email. One of the
reasons we created Boy Meets Hero is because there aren't many comics
that deal with gay characters in leading roles. We wanted to show
readers that it's natural for some people to feel uneasy about being
gay, but that if those people accept themselves for who they are, they
can overcome anything.

I was thirteen when I first realized I was gay. It happened the first
day of school my seventh grade year in 1985. My father was an art teacher
at my middle-school and took me to his classroom in the morning before
class started. He left for the teachers lounge and I stayed behind in
his room.

I began looking through some of the art books on the shelves and found
one on figure drawing. It contained images of nude male and female
figures and I noticed that I was staring at the men much more than the
women. I had heard the word gay by that point in my life and knew that
it was something that people talked down about at the time. But I just
couldn't help looking at the pictures of men. And then it hit me, I was
gay and I coudn't tell anyone my secret!

I kept this information to myself for years until I went to college. It
was there that I met Russell. We soon discovered we had feelings for the
other and before we knew it, we were in love! Over the following years
we came out to various friends and family members. Each time was scary
but we felt much better afterward getting the truth out.

I just wanted to share some of what I went through when I realized I was
gay. Each person's experience is different. Wether you are gay or not is
your personal business. Be true to yourself and you'll be happy! Take
care and best wishes.
Chayne

1) Are there going to be any Halloween, Thanksgiving and/or Christmas
theme in the next few issues?
We do plan to do a holiday themed issue sometime in the future,
however, it is quite far down on our list of story ideas.

2) Will Zack breakout of prison and if so will he have help from Cold
Snap or some other villain or villains?
Zack will get out of prison, but not in the way you think. We have a
lot planned for him in upcoming issues.

3) Will Cold Snap and Zack get back together or will they become enemies
in the next issues?
We're not sure at this point. We have a feeling Zack won't like Cold
Snap very much after our new story arc.

4) Will Zack reform in prison and/or come out of the closet and if he
does will he have a boyfriend?
Like I mentioned, we have plans for good ol' Zack in our next story
arc so stay tuned.

5) Will Cold Snap bodyguards Ebony and lvory gain superpowers if they do
will it be superhuman strength and invulnerability and/or will Zack if
he does will it be something like technopathy?
As of now we don't have any plans to give them super powers.

6) We all now about the W.H.O. but is they one of supervillains and if
so is it called The World Villain Organization a.k.a. WVO or something
like that?
That's an interesting idea. So far all of the villains in our comic
are not yet organized into any kind of evil equivilant of W.H.O. But who
knows, maybe someday...

7) Will there be any anti-villains and/or anti-hero's in the next few
issues?
We will be introducing a new villain in the next arc who will bring
into question Blue Comet and Fusion's very right to exist!

8) will Derek, Justin and Jillian other enemies team up to destroy them
and if so who will lead them Zack, Cold Snap maybe both of them or a new
villain?
There could be another team-up down the line. So far there aren't any
plans yet.

9) I heard some rumors that you would allow the fans to make their only
characters and that the best ones would be made into supporting,
recurring or minor character in the next issues is this true because if
it is I have one for you and if it not maybe you could put it on you'r
to do list becuces it sands like a good .
Actually, that is the gay-theme comic "Pride High" that does that.

Well, thanks for your questions. We have more cool stuff planned in
upcoming issues and hope you'll enjoy them!
Best regards,
Chayne

Hey Dawnell!
Thanks for your latest email and thanks for what you said regarding our
interview! It is so sweet of you to continue to write in even after we
finished the initial story arc for BMH. It's great to know that people
still care about our characters!

We both really enjoyed the interview with Tony. He has given us
tremendous support and it was awesome that he asked to interview us!
Most of the characters we come up with are inspired from real life as
well as entertainment. Blue Comet was inspired by my love of Green
Lantern and other cosmic characters. My favorite color is blue, so I
decided to make a blue hero with cosmic powers! The way he felt about
being gay was drawn from real life experiences that Russell went
through. (Except no one ever kidnapped me and forced him to come out to
the world!)

Justin is based upon my personality. As you may know, I love comics,
action figures and video games. (I also secretly wish I could become a
super hero too!) His Fusion persona is inspired loosely on the MegaMan
Battle Network video games. In those games MegaMan could add other
character's powers to his own if he developed a special bond with them.
We thought that would be a cool power for Fusion to have and we adapted
it to fit our story.

Jillian is based on the actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus from "Seinfeld"
fame. We both loved that show back in college and really loved her
character Elaine. I came up with the name Sunstar because both "sun" and
" star" mean basically the same thing. I figured that no one else had
used that name in comics. We wanted her to have a fun personality and a
sarcastic wit. She is the jokester of the cast.

Finally, Cold Snap is a mixture of Karen Walker from "Will & Grace" and
Wilhelmina Slater from "Ugly Betty". She is also a Bruce Wayne type
character who decided to turn bad. She is sophisticated, wealthy and a
bit snappish. She is a total blast to write for because she doesn't have
to be nice! She has ice powers because we wanted her to be an elemental
opposite nemesis for Sunstar.

Well, I hope that gives you some insight behind the inspiration for our
characters. Thanks again for your support!
All the best,
Chayne

Todd,
Wow, thanks so much for your amazing letter. It really made our day! We
can't express enough how much it means to us when we get letters from
readers who really "get" what we're trying to accomplish with our comic.

We too wish that a comic similar to ours had been around when we were
kids. It's important that people discover that gay people have as much
right to be super heroes as everyone else. Just think of how back in the
old days, all super heroes were white. These days many more ethnic
heroes are slowly being introduced. We felt it was time that a gay hero
got the spotlight as well. It's important that gay young people can read
about loving, commited characters such as Derek and Justin.

So thank you for writing in to tell us how much our story means to you.
We love readers like you!
All the best,
Chayne & Russell

Hi,

you're welcome. I was really moved by the comic. Just keep up the good work and create tons of new stories, where love always prevails in the end.

All the best,

Dominik

[We were unable to reach Ken via his email, this is what we tried to send:]

Hey Ken,
Thansk for writing in! I'm really glad you liked our story and by now,
you know that the graphic novel will be out next year. YAY!

Your suggestion for a Fusion mug at Cafe Press is a great idea! As we
are wrapping up work on the touch-ups to the graphic novel, we
need to look into getting new merchandise up for purchase!

Well, I just wanted to get back to you and say thank you for writing in!
Best wishes,
Chayne

Javier,
Thank you so much for taking time to write to us regarding Boy Meets
Hero way back in September. I'm sorry that this email is so late in
getting back to you, but I wanted to let you know all the e-mails we get
are very important to us!

I'm so glad that you enjoy our comic! I'm also greatful that you took
the time to read it even though it is not in your native language.
Hopefully someday we will be able to translate it into spanish if there
is enough demand.

And yes, the world does neeed more gay heroes! That's why we created our
comic in the first place!

Well, take care and thanks for being a fan!
Best wishes,
Chayne

Hi Greg,
Greetings from New Mexico. It's so cool to hear from Brazil! It's also
cool to hear that you really like our comic!

We wanted Derek and Justin to be very proud of who they are, it just
took Derek a little while to get there. Our new printed series will
debut sometime next year. We are currently working on some ideas and we
hope you will join us for the further adventures of Blue Comet and
Fusion!

Take care and thanks for writing!
-Chayne

Hi Brian,
Thanks so much for the kudos! It really meant a lot to get your email.
Hearing how much people like what we do makes all the difference. Thanks
for sticking with us over the past months. We hope you enjoyed the whole
experience. Keep in touch and look for more stuff from us sometime next
year.
Your friend,
Chayne

Hey Jim!
Thanks for the compliments! And thanks for still checking in on the
comic.
-Chayne

Omry,
I guess great minds think alike! Check out our new page!

We decided Justin's code name was going to be Fusion in July 2006. We've
been waiting patiently to debut this week's page and finally reveal his
code name. We dropped a few hints here and there when we used the words
fusion & fuse. We thought it would be funny to see a character try to
come up with a code name in the heat of battle, only to discover it can
be quite difficult to choose just the right one.

Good job on figuring out that Justin is going by the name FUSION!
-Chayne & Russ

August 26th, 2007

Hi,
I'm Deon de Beer from South Africa. Just wanted to say that I loved your comic and can't wait for the next issue.

Exellent stuff guys and keep up the good work.
Cheers

Hi again Dawnell. Sorry this email is a little later than last time.
Glad you enjoy the sex scenes! They were a blast to draw (big surprise
there, huh?).

Now on to the answers to your questions:
1) Are they plans to make BMH into a on-line animated series?
It wood be so cool no sweet if it was don't you?
A: That would be so totally cool! Unfortunately there are no plans as of
yet. We are planning to continue the comic next year and see where that
takes us. Who knows, maybe someday there will be an animated version of
BMH!

2)Will Derek and Justin join a gay superhero team That fight a gay
supervillain team who only attacked superhero's in future issue's?
maybe the team's will become a spin-off of BoyMeetsHero that wood be
great don't you thank so?
A: Blue Comet and Fusion are going to remain a duo for now. We may have
them team-up with other heroes and super teams from time to time. For
right now, we want to focus on developing the relationship between our
main characters.

3) Will Derek, Justin and other gay people have to fight a new insane
homophobia serial killing villain who only attacked gay superhero's,
supervillain's and other people?
A: Great question! We do have plans to introduce a new homophobic
villain who wants to rid the world of gays. However, he won't be a
serial killer. We want to keep that kind of violence out of BMH. Stay
tuned...

4)Justin has the superpowers of Derek and Zack robot so is he more
powerful then Derek and if so how powerful is he?
A: Justin has powers of his own that are still unknown. He does posess
some power from Blue Comet but only a small portion. The powers he got
from the robot are now a part of him too, however, he is not not more
powerful than Blue Comet. The nature of both Fusion and Blue Comets new
powers will be explored further in upcoming issues.

5)Do Justin have to have sex with Derek to make has superpower's work or
have his superpower's fully manifested?
A: Justin's powers have now fully come forward. His closeness to Derek
and making love to him brought them out. He doesn't have to sex to
manifesst them anymore, but what a way to get powers, huh?

6) Now that Derek has come out of the closet will we meet Jillian
boyfriend if their is one?
A: Yes. We do plan to give Jillian a boyfriend. Maybe a hot hunky man
who is always shirtless! Sound good?

7) Will their be a origin-story for Blue Comet, Sunstar, Captain Cosmos,
Zap-Man, Atom Bomb, Magma Girl, Cold Snap and Strato?
A: Another good question. Nothing is planned so far, but I'm sure that
sometime in the future we will get around to origin stories for most of
the characters you mention, especially the main ones. I think it would
be very cool to see how Derek got his powers all those years ago.

8)Is Mr.Millhelm Agnew a retire superhero who lost his superpowers some
how and become a marketing agent of W.H.O.?
A: Not as far as we know. Mr. Agnew is a normal person who just happens
to love money. A lot!

The last two questions are not about BMH but i wood like no what you
guys think?
1) Do you think Milo Ventimiglia who plays Peter Petrelli on NBS hit TV
series Heroes is HOT or what?
A: Oh, yes! Very! I love his hair!

2)Do you think Parthenon on Sci Fi Channel reality show Who Wants to be
a superhero is going to win?
A: I really did think he was going to win. I was rooting for him. Like I
always say, the world needs more gay super heroes!!!

Well, there you go! Hope that answers things for ya! Thanks for being a
fan of BMH!
-Chayne

D.B.K.
Thanks for your compliments! We always love to hear how fantastic a job
we are doing! Now on to some anwsers:

1) Will Derek and Justin get married and if so will we meet their
parents?
I think it would be great if D & J got married! If there realtionship
continues in the direction it's headed, I can see them tying the knot
someday. We do have plans to meet both set of parents in future issues.

2) Is Justin going to join W.H.O. and if so, will he be teamed up with
Jillian and Derek?
Very astute! We love readers like you! Yes, Justin is certainly going to
join W.H.O. now that he needs hero training. And yes he will be teamed
with Jill & Derek. Just wait and see how the story wraps up in the nexts
few weeks to see where our heroes are headed.

3) Is Zack Savage still attracted to Derek? And if so is he jealous that
Justin is Derek boyfriend and not him?
Absolutely! Although he will never admit this to anyone! His jealousy is
the reason he lost his cool during the big finale. I'm sure nothing
would please him more than seeing them break-up!

4)Will their be more superheros coming out of the closet and if so will
zap-man be one?
Well, there will be more heroes that will come out of the closet thanks
to D & J. Look for them in future issues as well. However, Zap-Man is
too much into the ladies to ever bat for our team! Maybe that's a good
thing, even though he has killer looks, he's way too obnoxious!

And there you have it! Hope that answers your questions! Take care and
thanks so much for writing in!
All the best!
-Chayne

Steve,
Glad you are enjoying our comic. We felt it would be a great twist to
have Justin join Derek in the hero biz. We never intended Justin to be a
Mary Jane or Lois Lane type character who always gets left behind while
their significant other goes off to save the world. Instead, Justin is a
character who wants to be a super hero like his sister and boyfriend.
Hence his facination with comics, heroes, video games, etc. Plus, he did
had the tendency to follow Sunstar during some of her missions as seen
in issue one.

We felt Justin deserved to become super! The best part is that now Derek
won't ever feel compeled to break-up with him for fear that
super-villains will try to strike at him through Justin. Everything
works out!

Justin gaining powers opens our world of stories up so much more than
merely leaving him back at the house, missing all the cool adventures.
So rest assured, we have some great stuff planned for the future! And we
always strive to "keep it up" wink, wink!

Thanks for writing. Best wishes!
-Chayne

Hi Luis,
Thanks for continuing to write in to let us know what you think of the
comic! It means a great deal.

We thought it would be cool to have Derek & Justin's powers linked
together through the bond and affection they have for each other. Now
they are definitely much stronger together than ever before.

When Justin got his powers he was overwhelmed by excitiment. He received
the one thing he had wanted his whole life; to posess super powers like
his boyfriend and sister. He wasn't behaving like an idiot, he was just
happy as punch to be able to finally join his partner the way he always
dreamt of.

Take care and best wishes.
-Chayne

August 17th, 2007
True but I did not meant it as an Insult plus, the whole "his lighting
attracted to my rod" skit was the whole point that I wanted to issue. Like
his sister said I say again "How Dorky"

August 2nd, 2007

Hehe, yay gratuitous nakedness lol...though gold streak sounded cool, if i had to make a guess, i'd say that his costume might look abit like sunstar's, after all he did design that...and maybe crossed with 'comet's (unconciously he's been wanting to be more like his lover)

mmm talk about edge of my seat, really cant wait to see, i swear you guys are worse than chocolate (its sooo good and soo moreish lol)

keep those pencils up, you've got a brilliant storyline going on :P
Tim

Hi there!
Thanks for writing us and for enjoying our comic! To answer your question YES!! we are planning to publish a graphic novel of the entire "Boy Meets Hero" story hopefully early 2008. We're also going to add in a few new scenes throughout so long time readers of the comic will get to see some exciting new stuff in the print version.
Take care,
Russ

July 31st, 2007

I love comic, characters, plot & all.

1) Is Derek really stronger now, or just back to normal, or worse, is he getting weaker & what he feels is his energy surrounding him as it disipates away?
2) If all Justin needed was Derek's cosmic energy to trigger his power, then why did it not happen before like the Isle of Love... did it need to gather with repeated exposure or something?
3) Will Sunstar HAVE to date Zapman now?(hope not)

Omry, a fan

Omry,

Thanks for writing in. Here are the answers to your very cool questions:

1. Yes, Derek is now stronger. The sharing of his power with Justin has increased his own. How much has yet to be determined.

2. Justin's power was lying dormant inside him since birth. His repeated exposure while making love to Derek slowly drew his power to the surface. It wasn't until Justin saw Derek in mortal danger that the power sparked inside him. Having been in close resonance with Derek's powers, he was able to pull them into himself before Zack could steal them.

3. No way in hell!!!

Hope that helps! Thanks for your interest into what's going on.

July 30th, 2007

Hey guys,
 
I just ran across Boy Meets Hero online....don't know exactly how I found it, just surfing around.  I'm sort of a "fringe" comic geek....that is, I collected from when I was about 5 years old (1970) until I went away to college in '83.  While in school at Berkeley, I worked at a couple of comics stores, so I stayed connected.  But after that point, I dropped out of buying comics for myself.
 
And when I moved away, I bequeathed my entire collection to my baby brother, who's also gay, and turned into a way bigger comic geek than me.  In fact, I just got off the phone with him hearing his tales of San Diego Con....his 8th year in a row.  I catch up on my favorite titles when I visit him in Southern California...he just hands me stacks of DC (and some Marvel) titles and I stay up until 3 a.m. catching up with Legion and Supergirl, and all kinds of gay stuff.
 
Anyway, like I say, I just stumbled across your site, and in the past couple of nights read the entire story, and I have to say, I'm impressed.  I try to support this kind of thing...have been picking up Pride High at my local comic shop, "Whatever," in the Castro, in San Francisco.

I really found both the art and the story for Boy Meets Hero to be very well done, and entertaining.
 
I wanted to really give you guys kudos for your great work....And to ask, When are you continuing the story?  I'm dying to see what kind of costume/uniform Justin comes up with, and follow his late-blooming evolution into a hero in his own right. Lots of potential storylines with two hot gay heroes in a fledgling relationship. 
 
Also, are you ever going to publish a hardcopy, or stay online only?  I really think you have a good product. 
 
My brother, one of his gay friends, and their 2 straight buddies are creating a podcast, tentatively titled "Nerdgasmic!  'Mos & Bros," where they'll give the gay (and gay-friendly) angles to topics related to comics, movies, sci-fi, and pop culture.  This year at the Con they began filming and getting some interviews.  (with the creators of Pride High, among others)  Would you be interested in them interviewing you?  I just turned my brother Eric onto your site, and suggested he read it. 
 
Mainly I just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done!  And I look forward to seeing more!
 
Thanks,
David

David,

Thanks so much for writing in and enjoying our work! Receiving letters from appreciative readers really helps keep us excited to work on Boy Meets Hero. To answer some of your questions:

1. We post a new page every week usually Thursday evenings.

2. I'm actually working on the coloring for the new page which will feature Justin's costume. We'll also reveal his superhero name in the next couple of weeks.

3. We are going to publish a graphic novel collection hopefully early next year. We've contacted some publishers and hoping to get it out there in a big way.

4. We have a notebook FULL of new ideas for adventures for the BMH crew. I think next year we'll begin to develop a hybrid of online/printed material. The tentative plan is to self-publish individual comic issues after we get the "Boy Meets Hero" graphic novel out there.

5. We'd love to be interviewed for your brother's podcast! Any kind of promotion helps and free is our favorite kind :)

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to send us such a thoughtful letter!

All the best,
Russ

July 30th, 2007

Hi Boys!

I love your comic sooo much! I have been reading it pretty much since the begining and my only complaint is that it doesn't come out often enough. Once a week is simply not enough for me! I think you both are doing an amazing job.
 
I also create my own comic book, it's totally Indy and it doesn't look as great as yours does, but it's mine and I love it. It's called "So Super Duper" and my first issue has just come out, my second is on it's way. I would love to befriend you guys and help promote each other. We gays need to stick together! :)
 
Brian
www.sosuperduper.com

Brian!

Thanks for being such a long-time fan and for the online copy of your comic, it was a blast to read! I had a huge smile the entire time reading it and we both laughed out loud more than once. Also liked the twist with Psyche not being gay (or at least in denial, lol) and the supposedly hetero Comet lusting after him. Great job! We also agree with you that gay comic creators really need to support each other.

We wish we had the time to produce more than one page a week too! Next year we're going to publish the entire story as a graphic novel and then hopefully move into an ongoing printed series.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Russ & Chayne

This comic has just gotten better and better. Can not wait to see what will happen next
 
Chad

July 26th, 2007

Hey Guys,

Really really loving whats happening, though i must admit it really reinforced the fact that it was a gay-intrest comic when the cliffhanger is what the superhero's new outfit will be lol (p.s. i am DYING to know, so that wasnn't a critism)

Keep up the good work,
Tim

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the compliments! Just wait, Justin's new threads are super-sexy! Would a gay character have it any other way? ;) Although it was pretty hot to have him fly around naked, (He could have called himself Gold Streak!) I guess he does need to fit in with the rest of the hero community and wear a costume... Hope you like it!

-Chayne

July 26th, 2007

Hey Chayne and Russ!  Haven’t been able to read some of your new pages lately due to me learning a few new video game map development programs! I love the work you guys are doing still and every page so far (up to 82) has been really fun and interesting to read!

Gavin

Gavin,

Cool, video game mapping sounds fun! Glad you still like our comic up to page 82. Hope you like the pages after that, too! lol

Anyway, thanks for writing again. Say hi to everyone for me.

-Chayne

July 21st, 2007

Hey Guys~
Thought I'd drop a line and let you know I thought the gradient used on the latest page of your comic was a nice touch. The one used in the hurays, and alrights, and so forth coming from the crowd. I was also half expecting that you wouldn't have a chance to upload the new page until tomorrow, but I was
surprised to find it was up-loaded yesterday, Huray for you guys getting the next page done early, :^)

Ok, later guys,
your friend,
Brian Burke

Hey Brian,

Glad you liked the crowd's celebratory word ballons. Russ actually came up with those and I think they turned out great myself! We do try our best to get the pages out each week. Thanks for noticing it was up early!

All the best,
Chayne

July 20th, 2007
Hey guys, this whole story arc with Justin saving the day. Way hot!!
 
Keep it up.
 
T.

Hey T.

Thanks very much! Glad you feel the scene is "way hot"! That's just what we love to hear!

Take care,
Chayne

July 14th, 2007

I admire your work a lot. I keep coming to your site every week to see the new page... I wish you could have more pages done in less time, but I know what is like... I'm a Graphic Designer myself... so I understand....
Keep on! Dude...

Manuel

Dear Manuel,

Thank you for your sweet email! It's always great to get kudos from fellow artists. I'm glad to hear that you keep up with us each week for the latest page. I too wish I was able to create more pages in less time, but thanks for understanding.

Thanks for your support!

Chayne

July 9th, 2007

Hello.  I just thought I'd send an e-mail, or I guess what could be considered a review, on your comic.  I actually stumbled upon it accidentally, but I adore it.  It's really good, and rather addicting.  I really hope you update soon and keep the story coming!

Mary E.

Mary,

Thanks for writing in, we're glad you're enjoying the comic!

Take care,
Russ & Chayne

July 2nd, 2007
I love seeing power transference! Well, I hope that's what's happened. Please don't make Justin have had "latent powers"; I'd much rather see his power be a side-effect of the blue comet sharing his
love with him.

Thanks for writing in!! When we thought of giving Justing powers over a year ago (!) we definitely wanted it to be as a result of his love and connection with Derek (That's why we hinted at it during the island sex scene when Justin, who used to glow with the same blue energy that Derek has suddenly started glowing a bright yellow.)

So, you'll see over the next few pages that what happened to Justin is sort of a "Fusion" of the deep connection he has with Derek and some latent powers inherited but never activated from Justin's superpowered parents.

Thanks for reading!!

Hello
Came across your Boy meets Hero web site and have really enjoyed it thus far. Was wondering if there was a way to get back issues of your Wonderverse Comics.

Thanks
Ryan

Ryan,

Take care,

I just wanted to tell you guys I love this comic it is the best. I love waiting each week to see what is going to happen. I could tell justin was going to become what he did but i love how you did it. anyway just had to write and say i can not wait until next week to look at the page.

Chad

Hey Chad,

Thanks for your kind words regarding our comic! We felt Justin desreved to get powers and are having as much a blast with the powers as he is!

Thanks again!

Hi there! A short while ago I messaged you to say how much I was loving your comic, and I just felt like saying that I adore it even more now! :D
 
I love how you guys handled Blue Comet being forced to come out (and thought it was really amusing that the homophobic villain turned out to be a closet case).
 
But WAAI! The Cliffies! I want to see what happens to Justin!!! 
 
Looking forward to the next one.
 
Cheers,
Kirsten

Dear Kirsten,

It's so great to hear that you adore our comic! Thanks for the compliment regarding Blue Comet comming out. It was an incredibly important scene, and I'm pleased that you and other fans have had great things to say about it! And we thought it made perfect sense that the reason the villain hated Blue Comet so much was because he was in love with him and couldn't have him.

Aren't "cliffies" great! they keep people coming back for more! Hope you are enjoying Justin's exploits as they unfold.

Best wishes!

I really liked the last pages, even though I saw Justin's powers' "triggering-off" arrive when reading his updated profile (BTW, you could have done new illustrations, the cropped ones ain't got a good definition, cheeky, me? but eh the more I love, the more I'm demanding ;°D ) & remembering the glowing love-making... I discovered your comic at 2005 fall (nearly 2 years, waw!) the plot's better & better, the style is neat, but (yes another complain, the last one I swear) I miss the humourous graphic details (huge sweat drop on p.5 ...).

I hope you have lots in store to keep them busy for years to come...
Excuse the poor English but I'm French speaking.

Take care, with love from liege (Belgium),
Joey

Joey,

Glad you liked the page! We were hoping people would get a kick out of Justin getting super powers and being able to help his boyfriend. We wanted to leave a few clues that lead up to it and it's good to know that attentive readers picked up on them.

The huge sweat drops are always fun to include. So far the intensity of the finale hasn't had a place for them, that is until Justin realized that he had been flying around naked in front of thousands of people!!! Hope you enjoyed that!
Take care and best wishes!

This is an amazing comic. The characters are well developed, there's a great storyline, and it seems like anything can happen. I hope you are happy drawing this cause Im happy reading it.

Hey Guys,

Great job on the new page! Looks great and I can't wait to see what happens next (you know the usual). You guys always leave me with a cliffhanger which is why I love this comic so much. You never know what's going to happen next! Well you guys do, but your readers don't. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
Trevor

Trevor,

Thanks so much for your kind words and for your incredible enthusiasm! All the best.

Guys love u badly keep working like this, ure doing a great job... love from Costa Rica Paulo....

Luis

Hey Luis,

Great to hear from you again. We knew that some of our loyal fans out there would pick up on the clues we planted regarding Justin's super powers. Way to go on figuring out it out! We feel it's about time that the comic book world has an openly gay super couple!

Thanks for staying in touch and letting us know what you think of BMH!

Take care!

Dear Chayne,
 
I am a avid reader of your online comic and love it. Keep up the super work and job. Question. How can i get Pictures from you on the characters i like? I draw and do rpg's off and on line. Here are two pic's i have done for my gaming group.. how can i buy pictures of your characters to brag to my friends about your marvelous work?
 
Sinerely,
Yantzy

Dear Yantzy,
Thanks for your very kind words regarding my art. You don't know how much that means to me! It's also great to hear that you are an avid reader of BHM... great taste! lol

You are definitely very talented yourself! I love your illustration of Spider-Boy! (I think that's who he is...) Anyway, he is very sexy! Thank you for sharing your work.

So far, we don't have any printed comics containing our BMH characters. However, because of your request, we are looking into selling signed prints at some point in the near future. Hopefully we will be able to provide you with what you are looking for. So keep an eye out for an announcement on our main page once we figure out what we're going to do. In the meantime, we do have shirts and mugs available through our Cafe Press store if you are interested.

Thanks again for contacting us here at BMH. Keep up your great work!

Best wishes!

Im not sure if you guys remember me, but I wrote a while back and I think my letter was the 1st one to appear on the "Fan Male" thx for that honor BTW :D

I just wanna say that Im still loving your comic, and now I like it even more, you guys just rock :D
So now that I have PayPal I donated some cash, I'd give more, but My economical situation aint great now, but I'll give us much as I can when I can :D

Actually while I was reading one of your episodes today, made me think how (recently) confused I am about my sexuality. I've never been dis confused and disoriented before. I know I like men, but I also find women attractive, but the problem is that everyone around me tells me that I have to choose "sides" and its getting very complicated one me, I really dont know what to think anymore, some friends tell me one think thing and some tell me the opposite.

I thought a year back, that I'd never be making this kind of decisions, but here I am... Thats how life is... The more you grow the more complicated it gets :S

Do you guys think I should seek help with a psicologist or what? I really dont know what to do or think anymore. Any advice?

Sorry to bother though, I know you guys are busy.

Love,
Rody

Rody,

Thanks for your donation and for continuing to be a fan of BMH!! As for your "confusion" all I can offer is that sexuality is a complex thing and while there are people who are 100% gay or 100% straight I think most of the world falls somewhere in between. Being bi-sexual could be the best of both worlds but the most important thing is to just be true to yourself. No matter what the Republicans or religious right wingers say, there aren't any rules to sex or sexuality so if you want to explore relationships with women go for it! BUT be upfront with any potential partner about your desires for men so that you can avoid any "Zack Savage" moments :)

Take it easy!

Hey, just wanted to say that I love your webcomic
 
It's right up there with the one that hath first taken my heart (Pride High) and I'm just so impressed with it, when it was brought up on the pridecomics.com forum I realized I'd been lazy and not kept an eye on it.
 
I kicked myself...literally.
 
I read it a while back and only now got caught up on what I missed. I loved the plot turns and how real life mixed with superheroing.
 
I love it, its a polished super sexy piece of work, everything I could possibly hope for with enough full and semi nudity yet no loss of plot! Amazing ;)
Just hoping for more updates poste haste
Totally hoping for a three way Zack/Justin/Derek ;) but that's just the kind of mind I have. I'm either creating comic books or thinking of hot guys...thankfully you've given me a good outlet to do both.
The story is strong
The characters are believeable (and I love believeable characters because there are times I find it impossible to create them myself - you really make them come alive, I amn't sure if I do so I can definitely say you've got mad skills)
The art is absolutely GORGEOUS!
And the pace is lively yet not rushed
 
Wow I've ranted.
Keep it up, you've got everything some of us (comicbook creator wannabes) are still looking for.
Top Marks and fair props to ya
Go n-eirí an t-ádh libh (Good Luck)
 
" The Hellion"

"Hellion",

Thanks for saying we have "mad skills"! We love it when fans gush over our work! (Does that sound dirty?)

Anyway, Thanks for taking the time to write in and let us know that you love our comic! I think that comics and hot guys should go hand-in-hand, they wouldn't be much fun otherwise!

Thanks for all of the wonderful things you said about our work, it makes our day to hear such things!

I'm hooked on your story since it actually has a plot... Even though I liked it from the beginning ;°)
I find Zack Savinski kinda cute with his glasses & running his hand on his head from nervousness :°p

Have you been considering him turning 'good' again, maybe after confessing being still gay? After being defeated, we want a fight, don't we... I can see Justin giving a helping hand from the inside, litteraly.

I'd like to wish you the best (even with 2 months of delay) for your anniversary & ask forgivness for my poor English, I'm French speaking & living in Belgium (Liege) I had to learn Dutch (2d national language) in highscool =°(

See ya
Joey

Joey,

Thanks for writing to let us know you enjoy our comic! I think Zack is cute too in his own "bad-boy" way. Zack is a frustrated individual who takes out his problems on other people. I don't know if he will ever turn good, but one never knows. He is too much in love with Blue Comet and too deep in the closet. Plus, I don't think he gonna be too fond of Blue Comet after he gets his butt kicked by him!

Take care and thanks for being a fan.

Dear Chayne & Russ,
 
Believe it or not, my life is following your comic. Today I told the person I have always had a crush on that I am gay! He completely understood and said that he didn't care. He is not gay himself but this comic like I have said in the past has made an impact on my life. Thanks guys so much and keep up the good work!
 
Sincerely,
Trevor

Trevor,

We were truly moved by your letter and are really proud our YOUR courage! Coming out to friends and family can be frightening but they almost always surprise us with their acceptance.

We are very humbled by your adoration of our work! Fans like you are the reason why we continue to work on the comic. Part of our motivation for producing "Boy Meets Hero" is to offer a positive portrayal of gay men and hopefully offer some inspiration as well.

If your story is any indication, it seems like we're succeeding!

Stay proud and stay strong!

YOUR fans,
Russ and Chayne

"You're killin' me, Smalls!"
 
But in this case; You're killin' me, Chayne!!! Ahhh, I can't wait until you update this comic. I'm so excited! Oh...I hope the fans don't turn on Blue Comet. And that stupid son of a batch of cookies Zack [yes, I am overreacting. I get attached to comic book heroes]! Poor Justin! I'm gonna go crazyyyyy!
 
Aside from me wallowing in impatientness, I'm jealous of you and your mad skills. I have spur of the moment drawings where I actually like how it turned out, but that's rare! Your artwork is amazing! I love Justin and Derek to death! It reminds me of my characters...except none of them have super powers ;]. But yeah...I wish I could draw feet and fingers and facial expressions as well as you! Hell, I wish I could draw the male anatomy [somewhat anime-ish style though], period!
 
So I shall shove off now. I can't wait until you get the next chapter up! Sorry I haven't been around a lot, by the way. I'm sure you all know how school was, right? Right.
 
Take care, Chayne and Russ! Love ya!
 
Sheldyn

Sheldyn,

Thanks for writing in!! We're love your enthusiasm! Zack is a whole lotta crazy but don't worry Justin will be okay, Blue Comet on the other hand.... ;)

I also wanted to offer a quick note of encouragement from a fellow frustrated illustrator.. don't give up!! Chayne always puts me to shame with his skills, I guess that's why he keeps me chained to photoshop, lol.

Thanks for diggin our comic!!

Russ

I'm JJ from the Philippines. I like your comics very much. Great work! Keep it up. Oh, how about two pages every week?

JJ,

Thanks for sending in the awesome compliments! We'd love to post two pages a week but this last scene has been a tough one to manage and it's kept us scrambling to keep up. Keep checking in every week though, we have some exciting twists to look forward to!

Thanks for reading BMH!!

Hey Guys~
So, Zack, in his own sick way, pushed Derek to come out of the closet, huh? Hmm, maybe when all the fighting is done and Zack is behind bars for good this time, Derek and Justin will show Zack there are no hard feelings by sending him a muffin basket or a bouquet of flowers, and as a way for helping Derek come out of the closet. No one is ever truely ready, sometimes an additional push
IS needed.

I'm just mess'n with you guys, lol. (Kinda) lol.

Oh, but seriously, can we see the arm on the left side of the mech from a side view, the one without any fingers; I'm trying to figure out if it's like a claw, or just a gun.

Always, your friend,
Brian B.

Dear Brian,

Yes, Zack did indeed push Blue Comet out of the closet. Zack has had a secret crush on BC for a while. Since the fateful day that BC turned Zack down, he has longed to get even. Finding out that BC was really gay that night at the dance club gave Zack what he considered his ultimate revenge: outing Blue Comet in front of the world. And as you pointed out, little did he realize that he did BC a favor and actually empowered him. Maybe Derek should send him some muffins and flowers!

Thanks again for being a fan, talk to ya later.

Chayne
