When I was working on this page, I had Berta help me determine what sound getting hit in the head with an aluminum baseball bat would make. She would make a great forensic onomatopoeianist! This may or may not kill someone in real life, but Dark Universe Lee is entirely at the mercy of my inspiration to use him for future stories.

Here’s a sketch for an early group shot of the Radicals. Roy was originally going to be a full-time member after his introduction, but it was hard to justify where a bunch of teenagers would hide a big space monkey monster man. Kinda some crazy forced perspective stuff going on here.
Decided to take a week off to get wound up for the next issue, but here’s a little sneak peak at the cover.

Pencils by Roberta. Bad composition and inking by Me.
This is how it all started. Originally, anyway. Ten years ago, I self-published a 2-part graphic novel called “Guardians of Zero Nexus: Alpha & Omega”. It had the same core cast as “the Radicals” and largely the same premise. It was a tale of terrorism on a scale that staggered the imagination. Well, at the time I wrote the script, anyway. I finished drawing the first chapter “Alpha” on September 9th, 2001. Two days later… well, you know.
This caused me to water the second half of the story down a bit and heighten the anti-terror message of the book. “Alpha and Omega” was always meant to be part of this series and I always wanted a chance to do it over and punch it up a bit (also, I’ve had 10 years to get better at drawing). There were also lots of little “director’s cut” scenes I had either cut for space or thought of after the fact that I wanted to add in to explain certain things. Some of these were included in the three follow-up issues I did 6 months after the first two, but those still needed redone too. So while I have wanted to revisit this story for a long time, I did not want to open the series with it again.
Also, since you’ve met most of the characters already, this time at least you got to know them a little better before they die. Oops. Oh well. With a subtitle like “God of Death”, you know all eleven character on the cover aren’t going to make it through alive, anyway.
