Task Force Z Issue #1

Foreword

The following story you are about to read is first and foremost NOT your average run of the mill poignant dramatic angst-filled superhero story you are all familiar with. No, this is more of a reinvention or reimagining if you will. Think of it as seeing comic book, video game, animated, live action television and all manners of characters interacting with the real world, being able to perform operatic musical numbers, do dramatic or humorous monologues or anecdotes, break the fourth wall just for the sake of amusement and keeping in touch with the story's often changing moods between whimsical, zany somewhat dark humor of the story's heroes and the dark, foreboding, sinister and downright diabolical characteristics and mannerisms of its villain.

Also do take notice that there may be several lines repeated throughout the story as a driving question of sorts, prompting in you, the readers to try and read between the lines and figure out the real driving question of this series. Why exactly did Hyperion develop an interest in Earth? How did the government take notice of its past sins? When do you suppose the world will once more be peaceful? And lastly who will make these changes?

Well, I'm sure you all know the answer to that last question because, well, the title speaks for itself don't you think?

So, in means of a tribute to dystopian alternate reality stories like Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 1984, Blade Runner, V for Vendetta, Injustice Gods Among Us, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and others, it is with great satisfaction and deepest pleasure to present to you and all the bookworms of this great country Task Force Z Issue #1

And now…the story
