Sneak peak of Wardens I've been doing my own lettering and just finished page 10. Can't wait for you all to see it.

The blue borders means it's (mostly) translated from Yiddish, in case you're wondering.

I really do appreciate these scenes with Jake. we don't often get moments like these with Jewish characters in comics these days, like I can't remember the last time I've seen Yiddish in a recent comic and it is just so nice to see in these last two issues.

So I absolutely did NOT steal the opening line 'Hey, Big Nose!' from Monty Python, (tho I'm not against the odd tribute to my fave books & films) 😁 Graffiti shows Pompeian freedman Amarantus with a giant schnozz!

Both 616 and 1610 have been depected Pete as Christian so its safe to say that Marvel comics definitely defined Spidey's religion as Christian.

As for the Yiddish slang(oy, tokhes, or mishugas for example), he picked it up because he's from queens. (High in Jewish population)
