Pete Hernandez III Credits:
 I have an ongoing comic series (8 issues in total so far) called COMPANY MAN available at www.companymancomic.net which was printed and sold in England and Ireland a few years back (2013) for a short period of time.

While working under the Irish comic imprint LIGHTNING STRIKES I’ve had stories included in 3 anthologies and wrote 7 ten page comics which were illustrated by various artists for the anthos.

I’ve also had 6 or 7 comic shorts published in SPACE COAST COMIXX out of Florida, wrote a few articles for them and did about 3 covers back in 2015.

I’ve been a freelance graphic designer for 25 years and am still going strong.

I’m currently working on a pitch for an anime project tentatively titled HACKING WHISPERS with actor Ed Moy and am writing and illustrating the first ever All Asian graphic novel WAR DOGS due out early next year.

I’ve written articles for several comic and film sites over the years like Time Warriors and Nexus comics. I’ve written two short cyberpunk stories titled “Instincts” (available on amazon).

Are Rabid Dogs of War I hope your ready Pete Hernandez III


COMPANY-MAN-Nick-BOWIE-tributeWhat about War Dogs is original and makes it stand out?

First off, it’s ALL Asian. It’s an unabashed tribute to my love of Asian action films. It’s gritty, violent, and unapologetic. Sometimes bad guys do good things and sometimes good guys do bad and there’s no excuses, like people, they are as complex as I can write them.  The language is raw and realistic and it doesn’t read like a comic so much as a film.

12370709_10153830444843944_7370027825189997288_oThe reader will have to decide who they like and who they hate and that will change throughout the graphic novel.

Every character in the book is a real person. From martial arts stuntmen,  actors in Hollywood, businessmen, martial arts instructors, ex-triads, writers, cooks, DJs, singers, charity event organizers to rappers in the US. They’ve all been kind enough to contribute their likeness to the project because they believed in me.

fitzborgThough the characters are all real people, the events are not, however, some moments are inspired by real life events.


Ed-MoyWhat  Indy comic book are you a Die Hard fan of?

Do you think women are finally being treated with the respect they deserve in comics? Unlike toy lines that forget about them?
Women have rarely ever been written well in CM covercomics. They’re always written by men who have no idea what women are truly like only what they WISH women were like. Some schoolboy fantasy of a chick in tiny clothes punching guys out and being bitchy. Joss Whedon, Brian Azzarello, and JMS have written some of the best female characters in comics ever. They get it, they know women. Women are complex and emotional and strong and angry and funny, they’re everything a story needs to be well-rounded whereas guys are stuck just being tough bad asses because many men are insecure and cling to old writing tropes.
10848536_728851080563677_8808102576375611505_oAs for the current state of female characters in comics, they still have a long way to go. More of them are on the covers but its still poorly veiled cheesecake. Even if they’re covered in a uniform from head to toe its more than that when making female characters great. They have to be written well, with depth and feeling as well as bad assery. Most male writers write women as men with breasts running around beating people up. If you couldn’t see the images and just read the dialogue in most female led comics you’d never know it was a woman “speaking”.

10272482_728850543897064_4831803816336825771_oThere are infinitely better female characters in tv and film than in comics. From Sarah Conner to Buffy, the writers of those projects have a much better grasp on what strong females are all about.


What about the state of the world makes you the most mad?

10388124_728850620563723_8272353655453961433_nWillful ignorance and racism, which go hand in hand.


What more important Making  Money off your work  or being Credited as a creator of your work?

Being credited is more important but money is vital to get things done, 10454909_728850907230361_5051425799228602620_olet’s not kid ourselves.


What is a mistake you while working with a co creator and what did you learn from the experience ?
The problem I’ve always had with working with others is their level of commitment which is why I do everything on my own. I can’t be held back by someone laziness or incompetence. A lot of guys talk the talk but it ends there. When it comes down to shut up10830176_729791147136337_5918913674517504631_o 10818508_728850913897027_5691996274456071099_oand get work done they fall apart. That’s not me. I get everything done I set out to do not matter how long it takes.

Well done  Pete Hernandez III you have survived a War of word with The 7 Deadly Questions so tell us all why we should become fans  and what you are working on now :

10994241_740878172694301_811777668345093002_oWhy become a fan? That’s tough. What I do is heartfelt, its not a gimmick. I put everything I am into my work and agonize over every detail because I want people to feel they got their moneys’ worth. More importantly I want them to care about the characters in my stories and there’s a bit of truth in everything I do. I just hide it in certain characters and story segments. Some death scenes came from real life, most dialogue is a variation of stuff that was actually said by someone, somewhere. I have strong dialogue and STORY is more 11700649_814656238649827_5517527488843456882_oimportant to me than cheesecake pin ups. I grew up on the old school way of doing comics and story always came first which is why those old comics from the 80s and early 90s are the backbone of today’s blockbuster comic book films.

You’ll relate, on some level, to my characters and I don’t do cheap kills for shock value. Dead is dead in my stories no matter how popular a 10959780_728849020563883_201065156430502394_ncertain character might become, otherwise the story becomes trivial, like most mainstream comics.

I do comics for me but I’m well aware of what people like and care that they enjoy what they read. I don’t take anyone who becomes an admirer of my work for granted.
