Station Identification
New followers streaming in (people I actually know and have touched in real life, SCARY), so time to remind y’all what’s happening here:
Homemade Comics features material fully created by Pj Perez (ME!). Posts feature (as the name indicates) homemade comics produced between the ages of approximately 10 and 15, most of which took place within a few shared “universes” and stole heavily from already-existing licensed characters at Marvel, DC, Archie, etc. They are posted in relative chronological order from 1987 to 1991. And they are, for the most part, hilariously bad, but not more so than most superhero comics from the 1990s. Right now, we’re in the “Octavian Comics” era, approximately January 1990.
In addition to this Tumblr, I also maintain Sequential Madness, which features (mostly) new, original art from my trembling hands.
You can also find me on Facebook, YouTube, Last.fm and Twitter. My professional blog and portfolio are located here. Feel free to contact me for any freelance inquiries; I am pretty good at writing and drawing stuff sometimes. I also run a small comics publishing company, Pop! Goes the Icon.
Your continued attendance is appreciated.

X-Factor #5, January 1990: Page 3
Huh, maybe I should review the order of this checklist before I post more comics from this month …
X-Factor #5, January 1990: Page 2
IS GOOD.

Mister Sinister and the Marauders kicked X-Factor’s collective butt, but now the X-Men are going to do the same to the bad guys.
X-Factor #5, January 1990
I guess an issue of X-Factor is as good a place as any to introduce the X-Men into the Octavian Universe.

THIS IS A COMIC IN WHICH ELECTRO IS DEFEATED BY DANCE-OFF.
That is all you ever need to know.

Iron Man wakes up, blasts the evil Scarlet Witch, and then everybody poses. And Matho’s head continues to shrink. I think the Witch’s hex powers did something. No, really.

I know it’s been a while since I posted the last issue, so a quick recap: Iron Man and Matho were ambushed in their HQ by these futuristic medieval guys. Iron Man got taken down by a “diplifier” (which someone on Twitter suggested makes you sound like Diplo, heh), and now here we are: Matho is pissed and out for revenge.
There are no words to help you figure this out, but that chick zapping Matho with some voodoo? That’s supposed to be the Scarlet Witch, I believe. Here, she’s part of this villainous group that I haven’t named yet (but I think later on you’ll know as General Zoarth and the Devastators).
Then, out of nowhere, comes … VEST MAN! Yet, Vest Man, endowed with the power to rock a turtleneck and sunglasses while singlehandedly taking down evil terrorists … WITH HIS FIST.
(Oh, wait, that’s MY alter ego, Creator.)

This is a cool cover, but nothing like this scene appears inside.
Octavian Angle #4, January 1990: Back cover
Per usual, I won’t bore you with the previews inside this comic, but the back cover had something interesting: An ad for a Superman vs. Batman thing that never happened.
