#gen dead

I can finally announce this publicly, but I'm currently working on GENERATION DEAD: THE DEAD RECKONING COLLECTION, eight stories about my team of college student superheroes set in the 1990s.

After From Beyond Press published the first Gen Dead story in their Escalators to Hell collection, I wrote three more stories which were published by different companies. FBP reached out to me and asked about putting together a collection. I'm still working on the stories due to all the personal issues I've been dealing with since the year started.

This collection will include stories about Secretary's Day and White Day, featuring appearances by Generation Undead and X-Treme Genes. There will be an eight page comic story as the framing device for the collection.

At long last, they're all together thanks to Comfort Love and Adam Withers.

Here we've got the full line-up of Generation Dead.

POSE: Alice Vane, the leader. Indestructible. Super-strength. Our reliable leader. Smart, lovely, under no circumstances do you ever, EVER, want to make her mad. It's entirely likely nothing can stop her. Sexual orientation - nobody knows. If Gen Dead had a cartoon in the 90s, she'd be voiced by Venus Terzo. Her design was based off Odette from The Swan Princess.

RAINBOW: Gina Vivaldi, the original Lisa Frank punk. Bubbly and perky with a love of things cute and creepy, but watch out for her razor sharp wit and her razor sharp beams of light. Sexual orientation - bisexual. Will eventual start a long distance relationship with Lawn Boy of the Power Paladins in the 33nd Century. Would've been voiced by Katie Griffin in the 90s. Her design was based off Rebecca Gayheart circa Urban Legend.

WINTER: Salli-Ann Maza, queen of the cold shoulder even before she could create ice and snow. An opinionated thinker never afraid to speak her mind, but willing to admit when she could be wrong and laugh at herself. Sexual orientation - lesbian. Will eventually start dating Phyllis "Umbriel" DeFarge of Gen Dead's rival team X-Treme Genes. Would've been deliberately voiced by Terri Hawkes in the 90s opposite Katie Griffin as Rainbow.

AIRGUN: Maximillion Thibodeaux, and no his name's spelled correctly. The eldest son of a disgustingly rich family of Texas oil barons, as the team's sniper he can turn wind, air and oxygen into an endless supply of ammo at his fingertips. Sexual orientation - gay. Loves deeply and can't stand being dumped, until he settled in with Cormorant of Guts & Glory. Would've been voiced by Rino Romano in the 90s.
