Maverick and Radical

So I'm in Lithuania doing a thing for the Army ... Not a lot of free time to properly work on MIDNIGHT THEATRE, but I've been filling up the old sketchbook with ideas whenever the insomnia bug hits me. Problem is I have no scanner so these are just snaps off my iPhone, emailed to myself then uploaded on the slow-ass wifi they managed to provide for us. I've got a looong couple of months left to go.

These two guys are part of a fun idea I had about a group of young ... I guess they'd classify as heroes, but they're definitely more revolutionary minded. They've got that spirit of youth that makes them want to affect serious change in the world, but they're faced with the dangers that go along with that. They're gonna screw up a lot and face the consequences, good intentions or not. Their methods are going to bring them into a lot of conflict with the good guys.

Anyway, I can't just name him Maverick, so he's actually 'Maverick' Rick Martin. His partner there is 'Radical' Calvin Reynolds. See what I did there? They picked their names based off their actual names! I'm clever! Anyway, they're kind of folk heroes and most folks in that part of the city know who they are. They're not too obsessed with secret IDs, which is also gonna bite them in the ass. Along with Maverick and Radical, I've got Rob 'Rogue' Gordon, Mira 'Minx' Nixon, Leo 'Hellion' Hansen and Ogden 'Outlaw' Lawrence. Together they make up The Vindicators -- meaning someone who is proven right.

Arrogance of you and all that.

I had fun coming up with these guys.
