The Thursday Crisis

This summer your favourite super-franchise delivers another action-packed episode:

For seven years the planet has enjoyed peace and security thanks to the magnificent efforts of the reunited Council of Champions. When we mark Champion day this January 23rd, we give thanks to the All-American hero Captain Hope, British Super-Genius Professor Eternity, Spanish Gun-Slinger Salvo, the giant Ground Zero, and all the other champions who risk their lives to safeguard global prosperity.

Things haven’t always been going smoothly for the champions of late; twenty six passenger planes have gone missing during the last month - creating a world-wide panic, while temporal distortions have been wrecking havoc in the streets of the world’s most populous cities. Then there’s Hope and Eternity’s teenage son Daniel’s very public rift with his parents, which has been tabloid fodder for months, and the reported production problems and cost overruns with Captain Hope’s grandiose biopic.

Will the Champions manage to master this latest mysterious malevolence?

Can our protagonists prevent pandemonium or will personal predicaments prevail?


Find out at Kapcon XX on January 23rd...
