KICKSTARTER ALERT: Shawna “Lazymills” Mills launched a Kickstarter to turn Violator Union into a comic series.
From the creator herself:
“What if the power to destroy or change the world was given to irrational criminals?”
The Cowan Nation is oppressed under a dictatorship. Drug-users called “Tainters” litter the world with problems, and bounty hunters are hired to enforce the law.
The land has been divided into districts, which are run by governors who claim the districts like mafia lords.
Violator Union follows the group of four recklessly horrible criminals and their giant dog. The story focuses on the group’s thief, Leara, and the murderer, T.A., who possess mysterious powers that make them the prime target of hunters, rebels, and the government.
They all set out on a journey together to find a rumored paradise as they rob, murder, kidnap, fight bounty hunters, and avoid being captured by the government.
If they don’t end up killing each other, they may just find a way to paradise.
I’m really feeling the character designs and plot. Do check out the rest of the VU YouTube channel and spread the word about the VU Kickstarter.
‘I’m so proud of you, Virgil. Imagine that, my boy - the superhero!’
‘Thanks mom, but you’re the real superhero.’
-Static Shock, Flashback, 3.14THIS IS LEGITIMATELY NOT OKAY. WHOEVER MADE THIS GIF SET FUCK YOU
What I want to know is who decided to kill off Virgil’s mother in the animated series when she’s alive and well in the comics where Static originally came from?
Always found that confusing.
Well, that, and how residual Big Bang residue from Virgil turned Richie into Gear but Sharon, who actually lives in the same house and, no doubt, has handled his clothes, didn’t get any powers of any kind.
Something to make you go hmm …
