Description This is a little side project with my longtime friend and collaborator, Lee Davis, who is a really good writer. Look out for his work. We originally created The Forever War (not to be confused with the novel of the same name) back in the early 90s, in our fanzine days. Sadly, it was such a huge epic, we never got around to finishing it. However, we have managed to find space in our schedules at long last, so are doing a rebootquel. If all goes well, it will act both as a standalone cosmic superhero crisis-style tale, and a satisfying conclusion (20 years later), of our original story.

Goodness...that's a big question!  We make no claims to originality, this is very much an homage to the comics we loved growing up. It's Crisis meets Secret Wars meets Jim Starlin's cosmic romps. All shot through with Lee's encyclopaedic knowledge of British weekly comics from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

But...the main figure here is a new one, Excelsior, who is sent on a quest to gather heroes from a number of worlds to fight a big bad (see, I said we had no claims to originality)...but, it is a whole lot of zany fun (in the destroying worlds sense).

The rest are literally unnamed, being a random selection of the multiverse's countless heroes. And I maybe did sneak in a certain man of steel and a British hero from the 50s, who was a version of a popular US character. Or maybe I didn't.

Oh wow! That does sound absolutely nuts. Should be a lot of fun then. Who is Excelsior in this pic, if he's in it?

Thanks! Hopefully it'll work out ok.

Excelsior is the main figure, arms out-stretched at the top of the page...
