Mixing humor with action makes for a winning combination; a vivid palette and classic comic book-style greatly enhance the graphic novel package.
2014 Children’s Choice Book Awards:
The comic book art and fast-paced story hooks readers in the first of a new series.
Kids and adults can enjoy this superhero title that’s filled with humor, action, and art that makes it a fun ride for everyone.
There’s no shortage of superhero graphic novels, but Smash: Trial by Fire is more well done than most….[I]t’s full of drama, humor, and seriously thrilling action sequences. To summarize: kids are going to love it.
Deadpool Meets Hellboy (Sort Of!)
Excited for the Deadpool movie? SMASH artist Kyle Bolton was inspired to do a Deadpool/Hellboy mash-up.
However, Mike Mignola himself pointed out on Facebook that the hand is wrong: it should be the right hand, not left. I think it's Deadpool's fault for picking the wrong hand (SUCH a Deadpool thing to do!), and here's proof that Kyle knows the Right Hand of Doom...

Daredevil Vs. the Punisher
How much is SMASH artist Kyle Bolton looking forward to the next season of Netflix's "Daredevil" series?
So much that he's already drawing it.
We're especially excited about the addition of the Punisher, which will hopefully work better than in any of his movie attempts. C'mon, Netflix, don't let us down!
Warm-Up Sketches: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
SMASH artist Kyle Bolton has been feeling a tad nostalgic lately. Here are his sketch tributes to the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Can you guess which is which?
Athough they're better known for their movies and TV cartoon series, Kyle and I are longtime fans of the old-school Ninja Turtles comics. Waaaaaaaaay back in the 1980s, we used to collect the original black-and-white TMNT comic series that was nothing like the silly, light-hearted tone of the TV or movie versions.
When we were kids, we thought the Ninja Turtles comics were gritty and hardcore. Only years later did we learn they were intended as a tongue-in-cheek spoof of beloved comic series by Frank Miller, especially RONIN and his ninja-heavy DAREDEVIL issues.
