First Tower Thursday

Adriana's: A restaurant & bar ran by the owner Kevin Smith (not that Smith) located in Harlem. It is built in the style of a Spanish hacienda and stands two stories tall. Near the waiting room are two shrines one to Adriana, Kevin's late wife, and and the other to Gquen, his late daughter.

Okay here's a scene from Year Three

Trenchcoat, "I'll need some candles."
Selma walks over across the room and stands next to a large cabinet. Opening it up asks, "What kind?"
Moving out of the way to gather some supplies, I can see the cabinet is filled with candles of every size, shape, and color imaginable.

The Schedule

The PC Universe will be updated on a set schedule. There will be an event everyday, ending with new story at the end of the week.

The events will be:
Golden Age Sunday: A series of cliffhangers set in the Golden Age. They will be about The Victor, but told by whomever he's teamed up with.
Most Wanted Monday: A look at some of the most wanted supercriminals in the PC Universe.
Temporal Tuesday: A sneak peak into future story lines or scenes.
Wordy Wednesday: A word from the PC Encyclopedia

Because I have very little of the following, I've decided to rotate them ever three weeks.
Tower Thursday: A look at important locations from the PC Atlas.
Title Thursday: A look at a comic that I will be doing, eventually,.
Titan Thursday: A look at a hero from the PC's Golden Age.

And finally the main event:
Update Friday: A continuation of the PC Universe story.

Virgil: The Man Under The Mask

Just like my last post, this a repost from my old blog that has been updated for the new changes I have planned.

Before I start telling the stories, I thought I would tell you a little about Virgil. The best way to describe him is that he is a pacifist with access to nuclear weapons. The pacifist part is literal, but the nukes are figural, but no less lethal. He wasn't always so easygoing, being a hellraiser in his youth, but events in his life changed his views. One such event haunts him everyday.

He hates guns, and believes heavily in gun control. He has a nanadan rank in Aikido, but tries to talk his way out before using it. And he never fights in front of his son, Henri, (pronounced Henry). He splits his time between his son and mother, Alicia, helping his neighbors, and working as a private investigator/security consultant. He considers himself an Independent Investigator, and tries to avoid taking unsavory cases, while working mostly pro bono. And he doesn't date because he views himself as a danger to women.

One final thing to know about Virgil is that he is trying to be the everyman, but he can't be. He has too many things that set him apart from the everyday person and the least is that he's a masked crimefighter.

What's To Come/Why to Read

For those who've read my old blog, this is pretty much the same post over there, just updated.

I plan on using this blog to test out some stories I'm writing for my own comic universe. They will range from cats in trees to planet conquering aliens. I'm a big fan of play on world and mysteries; so anything from the name of a character to what they say, may hint at something to come. This universe is set in modern times but has Silver Age themes, so many stories will range from tongue in cheek to dead series.

Now the first year in the comics will focus on Virgil Huntre who is about to bring the Silver Age to life. This year also focuses on Nikoli Stile, a walking legend famous for starting the Era of Heroes, and The Victor, a crimefighter who started the Golden Age and whose death also ended it.

Like I said before this is for stories I'm writing, I can't even draw stick figures, so your welcome to submit your own takes on the descriptions. If I like yours and want to use it in my comics, I'll credit for your work and try to find someway to repay you, with a tribute character, some kind of public announcement, or something else.

Now for the reason you should care. I want your honest opinions. Are the stories lame? Did I tell a story in ten chapters that could have been told in five or less? Even tiny things. Did I misspell a word? Did I misuse a word? Did I use a ten dollar word when a dime word would have worked? This is an interactive process, so your opinions will have effect on the way I tell the stories.

Stay tuned for the first story. And please give your opinions.
