TOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our FIRST GUEST STAR! Also, Billy is doing what we affectionately call the “nerd gush.” Which means talking about something you like a lot... fast until your friends get on board and FINALLY WATCH AVATAR.  ---------------------- We wanted to take a second to say hi. Hi! 

We’re Baz (art) and Riley (the typing part). We’re two Canadian nerds who have been friends since 6th grade and have spent our friendship obsessing over movies and comics together like only nerds know how. (See Billy above.) 

It’s important for us to clear this up before any plot happens: Idiot Boyfriends will draw from, build on, and reference the comics, but it doesn’t take place in Earth-616 or any of the existing Marvel universes. Timeline-wise, it’s *mostly* after Style vs. Substance and before Teddy is the King of Space(tm). Billy and Teddy are in their early twenties, working with the Avengers—our version. Think of it as a kind of an AU where everyone is an action figure fresh out of the box. 

We’re making Idiot Boyfriends because: 1) We’ve always wanted to collaborate but never have... Unless binge-watching X-Men: TAS while crushing takeout during sleepovers is a project. 2) We both wanted to get practice in our mediums AND have fun making stuff. 3) Wiccan and Hulkling have been some of our Marvel favs for YEARS.

There’s a funny place where you don’t own characters (no copyright infringement intended!!!) but you love them intensely, and it feels like a little bit of them belong to you. That’s the snow globe where the comics take place.
