So.
As we know, I have been trying to come up with an idea for a comic for a while...And I had a lot of really good ideas suggested to me!
I thought about doing one with paranormal investigators...YEAH GUESS WHAT I'VE BEEN READING BLAH BLAH BLAH DUN JUDGE ME
And I was suggested an idea with reapers.
And I was also suggested doing something with gods, where Hades would be a ridiculously hot badass.
So I kinda thought...Why not combine all those wonderful ideas?
I'm also half making this up as I go, so bear with me.
Think 2010. You have two friends...we'll call them Tom and Jerry for now. Because those names will definitely change at some point.
They live in a big city, go to a school where there are so many people, no one really recognizes each other, and they're sort of focused in the shady area of town.
Tom nearly dies.
He's like, walking home and gets mugged and shot in the eye or something. IDK SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIS EYE
But miraculously, bullet still lodged in his brain, Tom lives.
The bullet will eventually kill him, but it'll do so slowly...He's estimated another 14 or 15 years of life before the bullet's sunk in far enough to end him. But, if they take it out surgically, the chances of him dying now are 99.99 to 0.01. So he goes on with his life, bullet in his head.
Suddenly, Tom starts seeing things...As he's walking home, he bears witness to a stabbing, but it looks like someone's possessing the assailant...a young girl. Not possible, weird as shit.
A few weeks later, he sees a man attack an elderly woman..by reaching into her chest. When he blinks, the man is gone, and he dials the usual 911. It is diagnosed by the paramedics that the woman's dead, from natural causes--a heart attack.
But that's not possible either...She was attacked! He reached into her chest and he did something!
Tom's just looked at like he's nuts.
So he tells his friend Jerry about these things, and they start looking into it, investigating, and they find nothing.
Finally, they're walking home from somewhere...and there's the attacker man. The one who killed the old lady.
Tom calls him out, blah blah blah, he's shocked he can see him, something big happens whatever.
Dude's a reaper.
Basically, the reapers are exactly what they sound like...they're beings who kill people as per the natural order of things. Certain reapers specialize in certain deaths. Mr. Old-Lady-Killer, he's fond of the heart attack. Little Red Killin' Hood, she's a shanker.
So on, so forth.
And their leader? HEY YEAH THIS IS WHERE THAT THIRD ONE COMES IN.
"Hades."
Now you must understand, Hades isn't doing anything wrong. Not in his opinion, anyway...He's just doin' the life cycle.
But when Hades gets bored...that's when trouble brews.
...That's really all I've gotten so far.
Maybe when Hades gets bored, he like...causes plagues. Viruses. Yellow fever, West Nile, swine flu, AIDS...All results of his boredom?
And he's giving his reapers a little more work to do.
OR SOMETHING
HELP ME WORK THIS OUT OKAY?
SUGGESTIONS ARE NICE
HELP IS LOVELY
ILU GUYS AND I APOLOGIZE.
