Foreword

What this is more than anything is a technique my friend suggested as a remedy against writer's block (and the pre-emptive prevention of it). Contained herein is a portrait of the Venom flight-team Star Wolf One, the retaliation against the Cornerian Star Fox One, their histories and their minds, pending deployment against a Katinan air base in the early days of the invasion.

Basically, Star Wolf is probably the heaviest reason I decided to use Star Fox 64 rather than the SNES game (which I also would have liked to do), along with the BIOWEAPONs anyway, as the grounds for my novelization. Their defeat and deaths, cybernetic reincarnation and final battle in Venom's poison atmosphere all made attractive the prospect of writing about them.

Of course, more than anything, I wanted to develop them as characters and use them as foils for Star Fox One. The Venomian army isn't going to be the nasty, soviet menace they're made out to be in the games (of course, neither are they going to be big-hearted-but-misguided revolutionists), and these four aviators will represent facets of what it takes exactly to take sword up against one's government, to bring about such carnage and call it righteous.

There isn't much more to say here, except I'm starting to want to write about Star Fox (SNES) and that's dangerous. Silly, well-drawn comic.
