If you ask me, there are better methods for fighting writer's block!

Here's a couple of mine: writer's block articles from my blog Myth-Understanding.

Still, I like the insidiousness of an artist being so willing to feed his inner muse that he will kill and harm other people. But it's no different, really, than any other villain's motivation. Art is just another way people seek to achieve what many of the great villains seek: immortality!

With Ace knocked out, two things will be happening next that I am excited about:

1. The horse fight.

2. The dream sequence.

Will Ace learn more about his past? Tune in next time!

Previously: Click here for the beginning of the series. Click here for the beginning of this issue. The musical villain The Troubadour is making trouble, so Ace sets a trap for The Troubadour and his gang. The trap works, but only in that the Troubadour gave up his as an invitation to Ace . . . an invitation to a showdown . . .

Yes, they surrendered THAT quickly. Seems like the old "dress up as women to throw the bad guys off guard" trick really works!

Of course, since I'm rewriting things here, I chose to make it more of a "pretend the 'dress up as women to throw the bad guys off guard' actually worked so that the GOOD GUYS can be thrown off guard" kind of thing . . . so that their boss can write a song about it!

I like this character, The Troubadour. He creates excitement and trouble so he can write music! Crime is his muse! This is where this exercise in comic book creation has been a lot of fun.

Ah, yes! The classic "dress up as women to throw the bad guys off guard" trick! If nothing else, it's good for a laugh to see our big burly cowboy man heroes in drag, right?

They actually used this ploy on Firefly. I love Firefly. I love Joss Whedon (mostly). But really? Using the old "dress up as women to throw the bad guys off guard" trick the 21st century? I expect it in a 1950s Western comic book . . . or maybe Little House on the Prairie.
