Fusion #4 (Part 1)

[essaybee]

As I mentioned when I posted Issue #3 of Fusion, I'd post Issue #4 in 3 parts (each part being a major scene, since the issue is composed of 3 major scenes and an epilogue). I've really appreciated the feedback you folks have been giving me, and hopefully you'll continue to enjoy the series.

For those wanting to get caught up, you can either read the comic at http://www.drunkduck.com/Essay_Bee_Comics_Presents_Fusion/ or check out the first 3 issues here at scans_daily:

Issue #1: http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/1121492.html
Issue #2: http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2328578.html
Issue #3: http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2361281.html

Anyway, to kick this issue off, we have the first real action scene and fight of the series. And, if the cover isn't telling enough, this issue is all about the villains. Here's the first 10 pages of Fusion #4.

Again, great work as always. Also, loving the villain from the latest chapter, may actually use him in my own campaign setting (already using Fusion and Pharoahmoan, but still.)

You run a tabletop superhero RPG? Sounds cool. And you will learn a bit more about Thermo and Crosshair by this issue's end which could add a bit to your campaign (or at least their backstory). Next segment in this issue introduces another villain, but it's a plotline separate from this one; then the third segment takes place on Sunday night, and is the meeting Brooder set up at the end of issue 3.

Actually I run two campaigns via Play by post. The primary setting thread is here:http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36241

It uses the second edition mutants and masterminds rules. Very fun stuff.

Yessss
I am loving your work, and it's inspiring me so much. Love Fusion and the story so far, but I've still missed out on some.

[essaybee]

Glad you continue to enjoy the story, and I'm flattered if it's inspiring you.

What have you missed out on? Other than the first 3 issues (which are also posted at scans_daily), Fusion runs her own blog, which helps give a few more details that aren't covered in the comic (http://savunnslife.blogspot.com/), but isn't necessary reading (and she's been slow to update), and she is also featured in a new crossover webcomic called "Crossoverkill," which likewise isn't necessary reading. Other than that, there's not much else that you could've missed out on (aside from some fanart).

Once again, nicely done! =)

Thanks!

Another nice installment. I like how, while Fusion IS new at this gig and kind of feeling her way forward at this point, she's no pushover. She may not know all the ins and outs, but she DOES know damn well how to use what she's got, and she refuses to be pushed around. Nice that she's more than the usual bungling newcomer.

[essaybee]

Glad you like the way she handles herself. As far as not letting herself be pushed around . . . Despite her fangirl tendencies and general friendliness, I think she can be every bit as stubborn as Brooder--especially if someone rubs her the wrong way--although she would never admit it.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Well, yeah, she's definitely shown an independent streak up to this point, as shown in her flair for 'alternate solutions' when it comes to dealing with villains that maybe aren't really villains.
