The Shit-Town Saga: Epilogue… There was a time in the 90s when Arthur Hawkwood was a member of a team called The Street Force. The members were some of the more violent New York heroes of the time, and while it was short lived, it was often remembered, though not fondly. As the third Cavalier, Arthur was the de-facto leader of the team as well … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #29
The Mine Shaft part 4 (finale) She franticly began dabbing the blood coming from his nose while his body shook. The tissue didn’t last long and the blood kept coming. It was obvious he took too much and at his age, it wasn’t going to end well. “Shit, this is bad,” she got up from the bed, “Sorry, but we gotta call someone, hun.” She … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #15
The Mine Shaft part 3 Craig Levison knocked on the front door of a residence in Inglewood. He hadn’t been to that house in a long time so he wasn’t sure if it was still owned by the person he was looking for. More to the point, he wasn’t sure if he could get what he was looking for and would have to look elsewhere. … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #14
The Mine Shaft part 2 In the 90s, the Brain Boy cartoon featured an assortment of characters that were not in Ryan’s life, including a rat sidekick named Labrat. As the show (and Ryan by proxy) became popular, Craig Levison approached Ryan about possibly creating Labrat “for real”. Levison obviously knew a wise-cracking, pizza-loving rat on a skateboard wasn’t feasible but he felt an approximation … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy#13
The Mine Shaft part 1 The soldier disappeared in a cloud of sand and dust once the IED went off and as it settled, the smell of burning flesh was ripe in the air; the Afghani heat didn’t help to remove the putrid smell, either.

Junk Man part 2 (of 2) Jennifer Sawyer stared into a set of green eyes. “Gratitude is not an expression I’m used to showing but I must thank you in spite of how frivolous it seems in this moment. I wasn’t sure you would consider me and in full disclosure, I felt insulted. Unimportant. Those thoughts were almost crippling and I feel safe admitting that. … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #13
Junk Man part 1 (of 2) Tetsuo Miki sipped his coffee and placed it on his desk before doing his third rounds for the evening.

After he passed through … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #12
Welcome Back Alysa walked down the street happily as she approached two young African American girls making a snowman in the yard. She didn’t know the girls, but when they saw her coming, they stopped and rushed to her shouting, “Alysa!

Deadly Upgrades part 4 (finale) Dante had been watching videos nonstop since the Resurgence. Sometimes he would watch reruns of One Smart Cookie or Real Community Service and sometimes he would watch Grey Matter Family videos on youtube.

He … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #9
Deadly Upgrades part 3 While in Baltimore, Dante Greer had been trying his best to live a normal life.

Deadly Upgrades part 2 Ryan Bennings studied the lump of metal under a series of lenses and sensors in the ship’s lab. As the mass absorbed anything it came into contact with, it was held aloft in a small forcefield where it couldn’t touch anything solid.

Deadly Upgrades part 1 In Washington DC, a guard stood at attention in front of a downed U’ntari Commander Class vessel which had been taken out by Alysa Saraki and the Upstarts during the Resurgence.

There was a … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #6
Bastard Son of Nelson Creed part 8 (finale) The people of Widow Springs woke up, ate breakfast, sent their children off to school and went about their daily chores.

Bastard Son of Nelson Creed part 7 2012… The Time Jacket had been safely placed in storage for decades and Gus was relieved that the rumors of its existence was one of many within the milieu of weirdness in the Winghaven area.
