Issue #005: Author’s Notes
Ok, I’m a little bit late, but I don’t like writing my author’s notes until I’ve got a title for the next issue, so I can tease y’all with it…
Ok, where to begin?
Thunderbolt got a mention early on… He’s this universe’s version of Thor (well, his current successor…), wielding Mjolnir, which was gifted to him from former Soviet villain, The Hammer. Basically has the same power-set as Thor, only without the immortality and such. One of the world’s foremost superheroes.
The Gibbon… I just liked the image of a guy swinging from streetlight to streetlight. Works solo in Manhattan, has low-level super-strength and agility.
Anna started getting a little weird towards the end of her ranting at Katie, but that’s because she’s a bit unhinged. And because I was probably half-asleep when I wrote those parts. I had intended for the fight scene to last longer… But we’ve seen what happens when I try to write a long fight scene… It’s not pretty.
And of course, at the end, there’s the foreshadowing… Our big bad guy happens to hold a high office in Washington, Secretary of the Interior, Stephen P Carmichael. And he has a teleporter on staff in Daytripper. But is all as it seems? Why is he interested in the Brat Pack? All this, and more, revealed in upcoming issues of Brat Pack. Stay tuned for Issue #006: Moonlight Shadow.
Later Days,
The Author
