The future of MY BOYFRIEND IS A SUPERHERO.
Added 2024-10-25 18:40:18 +0000 UTCHello, my beautiful Patrons!
As many of you know, MY BOYFRIEND IS A SUPERHERO has reached its grand finale! Issue #5 is now available from Class Comics on Just for Fans, and I'll admit, I'm feeling a bit heartbroken.
We hadn't planned to end the series here, but ALEXANDER needs to take a break from art for personal reasons. I totally respect his decision, and I'm so grateful for the incredible journey we shared creating these five issues. We both grew so muchβhim as an artist, and me as a writer. BYRON and FELIX hold such a special place in our hearts, and though ending the series wasn't easy, it felt like the right time to say goodbyeβ¦ at least for now.
This brings me to something I've been pondering: Would you be interested in a MY BOYFRIEND IS A SUPERHERO annual that I write AND illustrate myself?
I still have so many stories to tell about BYRON and FELIX! With BRIGAYDE also concluding, their journey is about to take a whole new direction, and I'm excited to explore it.
I've always thought of our initial run as "Season One." A "Season Two," though perhaps visually different, would continue to follow the adventures of these beloved characters. Change can be scary, especially when it comes to a new artist for a beloved comic. But you know me, and how much I adore these characters. I promise to pour my heart and soul into bringing their adventures to life.
So, what do you think? I'm truly curious about your thoughts on me taking over the art, and about the future of the series in general. You guys are my creative compass, and your feedback means the world to me.
Let me know! I can't wait to hear what you have to say.
Much love and thanks...
Patrick XOXO

I really appreciate that, dear Arkid43. It's looking more and more likely that I'll be illustrating the future of the series, now. I love the characters and their chemistry, too. I greatly look forward to creating more of their adventures for you guys to enjoy. Much love and thanks to you, my friend!! XOXO πππ€π

2024-11-07 15:58:24 +0000 UTCI really like their stories, and especially their chemistry as a couple. It is very well written, so I don`t care if another artist draws the comic, I`d love to see their life stories continued in the future, no matter what.

2024-11-07 13:07:45 +0000 UTCThanks, Thalla. I figure an annual would be a cool way for me to approach doing the series. We'll see, but I'm definitely excited about the possibility! Much love and thanks to you! XOXO ππ€β€οΈπ

2024-10-29 16:23:35 +0000 UTCHiya, CG! WOW -- thank you so much for the really kind compliment. I just really love what I do and the characters I've created... most of all, I love sharing all of that with you guys. I think that I'd have a really fantastic time drawing MBIAS. So we'll see... but I'm definitely leaning towards doing it. As for uploading my older material, there are a number of reasons why a lot of it's not up yet. Since Class was forced to shut down it's shop last December, it's been trying to find a balance between creating new material AND uploading the old stuff on our Just for Fans pages. It doesn't sound like a lot of work, but believe me, it really is! LOL! We're currently looking at how to get our printed comics back up for sale, as well. Amazon takes a massive cut, and at the end of the day, it leaves us out of pocket... so that's not quite the solution, but we're hoping that with JFF and even maybe Patreon, we can find a way to make both print and digital more widely available again. As always, I will keep everyone posted. But again, MASSIVE thanks for the very kind words, and for your insight. Much love to you!! XOXOX ππππ

2024-10-29 16:16:47 +0000 UTCMBIAS is in good hands, Patrick. With all due respect to your peers you are safely and easily the categorical GOAT of this genre. I really do wish more of your older works were available somewhere, Amazon or anywhere really. Is there some sort of issue where uploading it is not profitable enough to make it worth your while? Raise the price to a happy medium to make it worth your while, my good man. There is absolutely a market for it. Thanks for all that you do.

2024-10-28 03:15:14 +0000 UTCI think a series of annuals would be great.

2024-10-27 18:58:02 +0000 UTCThanks so much, dear Ethan!! I really appreicate your excitement about this... and OH YEAH, tiny thongs getting ripped off their bodies would almost DEFINITELY be something I'd have to include! LOL! Which makes me think you might really enjoy this month's final reward... Heh! Heh! Heh! Much love and thanks to you!! XOXOX πππππ€

2024-10-27 15:57:51 +0000 UTCThanks so much, Taelan... that is some very good food for thought. I mean, I have loads of other ideas swimming in my head. New characters I've been meaning to introduce, new series I've been thinking of trying... but there's also a near irresistable pull toward Felix and Byron... Like I feel that my time telling their stories hasn't actually ended and like I'm driven to tell more. In a way, I guess you could say that they're speaking to me the very loudest, right now. But I appreciated what you said about being along for the ride. It's a wonderful compliment actually, which tells me that no matter what I draw, you guys are here to support and encourage, and I'm deeply grateful for that! So we'll see what I decide, but I'll absolutely keep you all posted. Thank you again so much for the terrific comment and thoughts... I really appreicated that, too. Much love to you!! XOXOX πππ€ππ

2024-10-27 15:57:26 +0000 UTCHA HA HA! Thanks so much, Christopher... ooooh, Emil... Mmmmmm!!! ππ Yeah, it would be IMPOSSIBLE not to have him pop in every once in a while, that's for sure. LOL! Thanks again for the kind words and the vote of confidence. I have to say, I'm leaning closer and closer to doing this! I'll keep everyone posted! Much love to ya! XOXO π₯°πππ
Patrick Fillion
2024-10-27 15:51:37 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Cxx! I appreciate that a lot. And not to worry, being true to my charactrers is always at the top of my list! Much love to ya!! XOXOX ππ€ππ
Patrick Fillion
2024-10-27 15:49:29 +0000 UTCHA HA HA! Thank you so much, my dear Andrew. I truly appreciate the excitement AND the enthusiam, my friend. I must say that the more I think about it, the more I want to do this. I love both of these characters so much, and I would love nothing more than to bring their continuing adventures to life. So yeah, I'm rather leaning towards a "let's do it"! And as an aside, I love that you enjoyed that familiar faces often popped in for cameos and gues-spots in the series. I plan to keep that tradition alive and well.. you know... if I decide to do this! LOL! Much love and thanks to you for the wonderful comments! Great Big Hugs and kisses! XOXO ππππ€ππ

2024-10-27 15:48:33 +0000 UTCThank you so much, my dear Conor. I love that you've enjoyed the work that Alexander and I did. We had such a fantastic time working on the series together. Those 13 episodes were magical moments for me in my career, I have to say. He's a wonderful art and a wonderful friend. I'll miss creating with him very much. I'm THRILLED you're excited to see what I could do to a continuation if I were writing and drawing, though. Thank you so much for that. I've really enjoyed the OFF THE BOOKS episodes... in fact, there maaaaaay be another dropping in time for Halloween! Heh! Heh! Heh! ππ So I'm pretty eager to try my hand at a full 12-page episode, and then another. Of course I'll keep everyone posted on my final decision, but it's looking more and more like I'm gonna do this! I think a lot of fun could be had! Much love and thanks again to you for the really kind words and wonderful comments! SMOOCHES! XOXOX ππ₯°ππππ€

2024-10-27 15:40:49 +0000 UTCI think a follow up series in your art style is a great idea! Iβm excited to see Felix and Byron running around in tiny thongs just for them to get ripped off π€©
Ethan
2024-10-27 12:59:55 +0000 UTCthis would be superkalifragilistic....
Kai Chaos
2024-10-27 12:33:40 +0000 UTCHonestly, I would love to see more of these characters. However, I have to agree with some of the other thoughts that have been said. When one thing ends, it allows for the growth of something new. I'm certainly happy to see an Annual of this series as it continues, but I'm happy to see any of your art, as your art is meant to be your exhibition, and we just get to enjoy the ride. That said, I really hope whatever you decide, we get to embark on the journey with you as you continue. My vote is more of an abstention, since I think we'll love and enjoy whatever you make.
Taelan Sabretooth
2024-10-26 11:34:16 +0000 UTCWould love to see it continue! Alexander and yourself did great work on it and I would be incredibly excited to see you draw them both regularly again! And Emil! Haha π
Christopher Oliva
2024-10-26 10:20:30 +0000 UTCYes more. I love ur stories. Collabs are epic but donβt forget to be true to your characters β€οΈ
Cxx
2024-10-26 03:31:55 +0000 UTCAnd I mustnβt forget to add - I love what Alexander did with the series he did a truly amazing job.
Andrew Brown
2024-10-25 22:31:35 +0000 UTCWell duh! Of course Iβm going to express a keen an interest in you taking over the series! The thought of seeing you write some more MBIAS stories (with who knows what characters, situations and steaming hot action) makes as excited as a very excited person who has an extra special reason to very excited.
Andrew Brown
2024-10-25 22:29:44 +0000 UTCFirst of all, you and Alexander should be SO proud you put into MBIASH, the finale was such a delight to read. I've loved following this series and while I'm sad to see it end, I'm glad to hear that you two are so happy with how your collaboration turned out <3. Secondly, you helming a new series for Felix and Byron? Sign me UP!! Your deleted scenes in the Off The Books series have been so damn hot and fun, I'd absolutely love to see you tackle a new project for these two studs. Hearing you talk about all these new story ideas has me so excited, definitely got my fingers crossed that we'll get to see them!!
Conor Young
2024-10-25 22:21:41 +0000 UTCBeautifully put mon CapitΓ‘n, so beautifully well said!!! I couldnβt agree more
JT
2024-10-25 22:15:31 +0000 UTCThanks very kindly, dear JT! Absolutely! Alexander and I are both SUPER PROUD of the work we did on the series. In fact, including the three Halloween episodes, we did a total of 13 12-page (two having a few more pages than that) short stories with Byron and Felix together, and we've both loved every panel. 13 episodes is certainly nothing to balk at, either! Alexander was heartbroken at having to move on, but that's life sometimes. We just have to be appreciative of what we've done and what we've got and be grateful for the pleasure and happiness it brought us. As an artist, he really was a dream partner... much the way that David Cantero was. I coulda kept working with both of them for years and years. But I also know that life sometimes has other plans, and you don't always wanna, but sometimes, you gotta move on. I developed a wonderful friendship and working partnership with Alexander. I will miss working with him very much, but we remain fast friends... and he's excited and supportive about Byron and Felix living on in other ways, and the possibility that I'll be drawing some of their future tales. Thanks again so much for the very kind words and beautiful message. It's all greatly appreciated! XOXOX ππ€ππβ€οΈ

2024-10-25 21:39:44 +0000 UTCAwwwβ¦ I canβt believe itβs endingβ¦ π₯Ήπ I love them both so muchβ¦ Iβll miss them dearly. MBIASH has been such an awesome little way of getting to know the two of them better while exploreing their lives/relationship in ways we really havenβt been able to before. Iβm sad to see it goβ¦ Ya know, the work you two put into this series has been phenomenal!!! I hope you both are able to leave the project so incredibly proud of what youβve created! Itβs a wonderful series; I cherish my copies; trust me when I say theyβll always remain a favorite of mine in the years to cum π What I have learned over the years, seeing different series & projects of yours come to their end, is that youβve always got something just as good, if not way way better in the works, and itβs often things we never knew we wanted or needed. To many more years along for the ride on this wonderfully kinky exhibition of yours!!!
JT
2024-10-25 21:39:33 +0000 UTCWOW!! Thank you SOOOO MUCH, dear Jen. That really means the world to me. ππ And honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think it's gonna happen. Writing the stories for that series was always so fun and came with so much ease. These characters INSPIRE the heck outta me. I love their sexiness, but also their humor, their silliness, and their love for one another. There's beautiful vibe to the series. After years of drawing Isaiah, who I love intensely also, but who's been on such a dark journey, I think working on a title that is a little lighter in tone would be a wonderful change and opportunity. Thanks again so much for your enthusiasm, my dear. It truly means a lot. XOXOX π₯°πππ

2024-10-25 21:36:32 +0000 UTCWell, you definitely know my feelings about Felix, so blast away! πππ

Patrick Fillion
2024-10-25 21:31:32 +0000 UTCYou make a really great point, Phoenix. I've been thinking about what other full project I want to work on since so many of my titles are ending all at once. I think it's gonna be about concluding LOVE LOST #3, and my new vision of Felix and Byron! Thanks for the input, my friend. XOXO ππ
Patrick Fillion
2024-10-25 21:31:10 +0000 UTCThanks very much, Michael. The more I think about this, the more I want to do it. Writing Byron and Felix is always so much fun for me. Getting to illustrate them as well, I think that would be a BLAST!! XOXO π₯°π
Patrick Fillion
2024-10-25 21:29:39 +0000 UTCUmm you illustrating Byron and Felix? I tried to read the rest, but that just keeps playing over and over in my head! I love what Alexander has done, itβs phenomenal! But what you are referring to has been a dream of mine for years now!
Jen
2024-10-25 21:25:35 +0000 UTCI would love that! Count me as a yes!
Dorian Holliday
2024-10-25 19:34:13 +0000 UTCI would love nothing more than for the series to keep on going! Especially with an artist as amazing as you!

2024-10-25 19:06:36 +0000 UTCI think annuals are great! I vote yes. π

2024-10-25 18:50:24 +0000 UTCMakes sense to keep going with it now that Gay For Slay has reached its end as well.
Phoenix Monroe
2024-10-25 18:48:43 +0000 UTCI need to get caught up in this series. However I would love to see more adventures of Felix & Byron. The fact you would be illustrating the annual is icing on the cakes β€οΈ
