That's what people tell me. At least good comic books

He's can blow shit up with his mind and has a dog of indeterminately large size, but all the covers are him punching people while his boring dog of fixed proportions looks on
PowerThrills
Yeah, that dog is decidedly of normal size
ProseAndKahn
Like, have him do a Scanners style head-splosion while his dog swallows the rest of the dude's body in a single gulp, you cowards
Greg
Ok caught up to here @ 800. Strong start with lions and problematic dogs. Hoping for a comeback by 9:30
gellaho
This is really the only one showing him using psychic powers
John, Servant of Yag-Kosha
Psychic powers or Force lightning?
gellaho
The dog is suspiciously absent for the last three books
ProseAndKahn
How many books before it stops being an "electrifying new series"
PowerThrills
Yeah, "psychic" is a stretch
ProseAndKahn
This looks more like a poster for a magic show than psychic combat
gellaho
The last one
GnomePickles
I like to think each book is him dealing with the one guy chasing him in more and more painful ways.
John, Servant of Yag-Kosha
I assume that, like Steele, all these books were published in an embarrassingly short timeframe
ProseAndKahn
Tonight, on Fox, don't miss a new episode of the Electrifying New Series: The Simpsons!
GnomePickles
He didn't let the dog eat him as the dog had already tortured him and therefore he needed to find a new way to cause the poor bastard harm.
ProseAndKahn
He loses another body part in each installment
gellaho
October 1990 to May 1992, so about the same length of time as Steele
ProseAndKahn
First draft, last draft, get it out the door
GnomePickles
We will find out at the end of the series that Chick is an unreliable narrator and the agent chasing him is trying to protect the citizens from the villain psi-man, sacrificing body parts as he goes.

Chuck*
ProseAndKahn
But shit, though, Chick was the name of the telekinetic kid in Geek Love
PowerThrills
Well that's Judo
not Aikido
gellaho
And then the last book where he fights anemic RoboCop with hair
John, Servant of Yag-Kosha
It's possible I've spent more time composing a work e-mail than this guy spent writing one of these books. I'd be ashamed to put that little effort into something.
PowerThrills
There is about 300% more martial arts on the covers than in the text.
Greg
So the way I feel is that I liked it when the dog drove the motorcycle
gellaho
Ahuh
John, Servant of Yag-Kosha
It's weird how the only martial arts he used was on the bus driver, but he sure did talk about aikido all the damn time.
PowerThrills
Here in New England, Quaker communities are known for making good wooden furniture.
I'd like it if the covers just had him making some nice chairs
The dog has a brush in his mouth, helping him stain a table
John, Servant of Yag-Kosha
At least then he would have a personality. As it is, he doesn't want to kill people because he's a Quaker. That he could be replaced with any other reason and the book would be exactly the same.
PowerThrills
It'd make as much sense
John, Servant of Yag-Kosha
It would be better. I'd love to watch him teach the dog to psychically use a belt sander.
