A Peek Into the Future
Curious what OTHER writing I’m up to? Well, as I mentioned, I LOVE Marvel. And I’m going to tell you a secret: I’ve already started planning a eightish book-long fan-fiction for my own Marvel universe. No, I am NOT going to tell you about ALL of my planned novels. (That’d ruin the surprise!) But I AM going to tell you a little about my first three projects. So let’s get started!
AVENGERS: EARTH’S MIGHTIEST HEROES
Summary: When the armies of Asgard suddenly invade New York City, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Sam Wilson and Clint Barton are tasked by Nick Fury with assembling a team fit to combat this mystic invasion. Time rushes against them as the Goddess of Death and Ruler of Asgard Hela, with her brother Loki by her side, continues to stretch her reach and dominance across the Nine Realms, stopping at nothing until the entire universe is in her grasp. Will the heroes be able to stop her galactic conquest?
SPIDER-MAN: FRESHMAN YEAR
Summary: It’s the beginning of the freshman year of high school for 14-year-old Peter Parker. It’s a lot to balance. I mean, there’s all the homework of course, then the debate team, and also robotics club fits in there somewhere, and lastly, to top it all off, how about also being a teenage vigilante? Let’s just say that it’s no easy feat. Being the youngest superhero in the block is all fun and games until Peter learns that someone is after him. As he battles killer robots and giant lizards, Peter begins to uncover who is really pulling the strings.
X-MEN: RISING
Summary: Just imagine it. A world where people of all kinds, big and small, young and old, can live in harmony, without judging one another by their appearance. This is the dream Professor Charles Xavier shares with his students, telling them that it is indeed possible. But in a world where they are harassed by the people, attacked by their own kind, and even hunted by the government, this paradise seems like a lost hope. Is it really possible?
Ok, some of those might seem very similar to your typical Marvel movies. And maybe they are. But I’m still excited with my vision for this series. I feel like it will surprise you with some of the ideas and team-ups I have planned. I mean, would you ever expect (SPOILER) and (SPOILER) to join sides? Did you ever think you’d see (SPOILER) join the (SPOILER)?
Now, I’m going to tell you a little bit about the world. These stories are set in Earth-2142, or, what I call, the Prime Marvel Universe. There’s some similar aspects to the Marvel films and some characters are familiar, but it’s been fun rehashing similar stories. I’m trying to make it feel familiar but fresh and new. I hope that’s what you feel when you read these, although I have no idea in the slightest when these three will be finished.
That’s all I’m going to say for now, so stay tuned for more updates!
