Here’s another title in DC’s ‘New Age of Heroes.’ I’ve expressed my muted interest in these sorts of whole waves of superheroes from publishers. They don’t tend to last, but a few characters may survive the creation to live on in the publisher’s universe proper…if the publisher isn’t an upstart.

What if a major publisher like DC or Marvel planted little scenes in one or two books in their publishing line per year for a decade. Then launched a title out of those developments. Time and fan speculation will have built massive anticipation. And there would be some actual recorded history. Anyway, if DC or Marvel is interested in hiring me as a consultant, I’m available.

When their base of operations, known as the Campus, is savagely attacked, the Immortal Men must seek out their last hope-an emerging metahuman known as Caden Park. Caden’s emerging powers may be able to ensure the Immortal Men’s survival-but will Conquest get to him first? RATED T+”
