Seize Him! #1
They seem to be everywhere. Thugs. Heavies. Toughs. Anonymous henchmen. Hired goons. They come by your place to deviler a message from "the boss". They aid supervillains with their bank robberies, kidnapings and hijackings. And they compose the armies of dark overlords. But just who are these nameless criminals and terrorists? How do they get involved in the supercrime underworld?
Seize Him! is the story of five men who made a career as hired goons, providing the backbone to supercriminals all over the world. We'll see how Shannon and his crew got their starts in the "goon business", find work, and keep from getting caught.
A satirical look at the superhero genera. Instead of story-arcs Seize Him! Is written in 'story-sets', two to four short stories with a common theme, such as 'Drugs', 'Cults', 'Revenge', etc.
It takes a hard look at the conventions of superhero comics and turns them on their ear. Through use of analogs (ala Astro City) Seize Him! will address questions comic book fans have been asking themselves for years.
How to supervillains break out of jail so easily? Why hasn't anyone killed that psychopathic clown? Why does the dark and mysterious hero from the most crime-ridden city in America act like he's the world's only competent superhero? Does death still have meaning when it is so easy to return to life? Why do regular people hate mutants so much, but are indifferent to other super powered beings? Why do so many alien races travel millions of light-years to conquer Earth?
It's a classic superhero story as told from a different perspective, the little guys who make supercrime possible.
