COMING MARCH 2015

Perhaps I'm throwing myself into a deep pit (or a deserted island for this particular occasion), but ideas are just BURSTING out of my head and I'm constantly thinking up new adventures and stories that continue to branch out this DC Universe that I'm creating. This story will be based on the Green Arrow character featured in the CW series, Arrow. I like the show a lot. Sure, the acting can be stiff sometimes and the stand-alone stories aren't always the most thrilling but I think they provide a very good hour of escapism along with the Flash and Gotham. (I for one am just happy I get to watch THREE DC shows a week.) That portrayal of Green Arrow by Stephen Amell is done very well, I think. That's who you can picture as being my Arrow in the JUSTICE UNIVERSE. (BTW, the category is for the TV show version but this is not related. I only selected that category to include characters from the show in this story).

In my universe, Ollie was on the island for a little over five years. As some of you may know... Ollie was still a rich and obnoxious A-hole during the events of DARK KNIGHT: FROZEN ENIGMAS and the Queen's Gambit had not yet gone on its final voyage. So, this story will be taking a huge time jump of six years into the future of the JU (Justice Universe). I will be giving small little teases that give a good idea of what is to come. I won't spoil anything big like how the next two volumes of the DARK KNIGHT series play out or the ending of JUSTICE: Heroes United. But, you will see how the world forged by the events of the Justice League's debut influences the rest of the world and the origin of Green Arrow. Speaking of that, he will identify as the Arrow and Arrow alone. In this story, Ollie has been Star City's hero for exactly a year. This story plays over the night of his first arrival and he meets some interesting characters along the way.

Lian Yu is the deserted island featured in the flashbacks of this adventure and everything that happened to Ollie while on the island is pretty true to the show. He killed people, met mentors, and of course, became a very stoic man in place of the ungrateful brat he once was. Because I love them so much, John Diggle and Felicity Smoak will be shown in this story and guide Ollie as he fights crime.

For those few of you who have literally been with me since the inception of these stories, I introduced Aquaman in the first stand-alone JUSTICE story back in 2013. It took a year and a half for Aquaman to show up again. Unless I start churning out a story a month, don't expect the Emerald Archer to return and meet the other heroes until next spring (maybe). *cue sadness...*

But don't worry, after the first JUSTICE adventure is completed, which I estimate will be the end of March; I expect the stories to start being published faster as my outlines for Volumes 4-10 are planned out. Yes, you read that right, 6 more volumes to the DARK KNIGHT story and four more JUSTICE stories before I can finally quit. I feel as if my magnum opus needs to be completed. I literally have to do this because I feel this epic story needs to be told because I want to inspire others and let them see how great superheroes are and that these 'silly comic stories' can make you think and keep you up at night.

So... story updates...

SUICIDE SQUAD is actually moving along very well. I'm just waiting for half of the story to be written before publishing more chapters. There will be an update very soon. At least before the actual movie comes out, haha.

SPIDER-MAN: Web of Secrets is on the same pace. This story is structured and plotted a bit different than the JUSTICE UNIVERSE so it takes a little more brainstorming to figure out the plot. But no worries, updates will be arriving soon and it will blow your guys' expectations out of the water (I hope so anyway...).

DARK KNIGHT 4 is in the process of being finalized. I'm going back and forth over the story to make sure when I start typing on here, the words will flow and it won't take as long as FROZEN ENIGMAS. That volume was a nightmare, personally. I started in March of 2014 and it took me 8 months to finish for absolutely no reason. Ugh. That will NEVER happen again. I now know that I have to be well-planned and have a clear vision.

That's it for now, folks. Keep reading, reviewing, favoriting, sharing, and any other verb that ends in 'ing' that relates to me. I feel that within the last month even, my fanbase has grown and you guys don't know what that means to me. I remember being so proud of having 100 views on my first story... and now... that story has been viewed over 20,000 time and I couldn't be happier. Thank you guys, all of you. It really has kept me going.

Keep looking forward to more exciting stories!
