CLA$$WAR #2
Mar. 27th, 2020 04:10 pmhistory79
"Cla$$war was influenced by my love of people like Noam Chomsky - I was reading his Class Warfare when I came up with the idea for the series - and Bill Hicks, my fascination with Nixon and American politics in general. I spend half my time reading books on subjects like the CIA, biographies of people like Martin Luther King. For some reason I’m captivated by US history over the past 50 years.
I also love intelligent superhero comics - a legacy from my dysfunctional youth and the effect Alan Moore’s Captain Britain and Marvelman had on me in the early eighties. So I figured I’d combine the two."

CLA$$WAR #1
Mar. 25th, 2020 05:48 pmhistory79
"Modern day America - a sedated nation, a land of authoritarian corporations, corruption and imposing wealth. A society controlled by money and the media. Two men are going to change that. An ex-CIA operative and one of the government's own genetically-enhanced soldiers now question what they were fighting for. Together they're going to battle for the truth. They're going to show the ordinary people the real rulers of the "free" world. But the secret monarchs aren't just going to sit back and let them speak. The renegades know too much. They need to be silenced and it's going to take all-out war to do it."

thanekosThe protagonists - Venom, the Red Hulk, X-23, and the Ghost Rider - had fought their Antitheses.
The Ghost Rider'd beaten hers, and now faced the son of Mephisto, Blackheart.
His voice was in her head, promising her absolution in return for her service - allow the corner of Hell that he'd brought into Las Vegas to spread over the world, and he'd restore the souls that she'd unjustly blasted to Hell.
He also offered her a place at his right hand.
" You offering me a one-time deal is one thing..
" .. but the Spirit of Vengeance serves no one.
" And I don't recall agreeing to work for you. "
( She turned to face the gargoyles bearing down on her. )

thanekosThe first'd been the beginning.
The second was a continuance.
Hell, thanks to Mephisto's son Blackheart, had come to Earth.
Hell, thanks to Johnny Blaze's use of an acquired relic, was confined to Las Vegas.
Doctor Strange and Daimon Hellstrom considered the problem outside the city.
Inside the city, Johnny Blaze kept the problem at bay, riding against a centrifuge that would pull Earth down to Hell when it stopped.
Inside Blackheart's stronghold, four heroes - Venom, the Red Hulk, X-23, and the Ghost Rider - faced their Antitheses.
( Their battle went out the window, resuming on the ground below. )
