As I get closer to Wizard I want to highlight one more product I'll have available at the table: the Streem Team Comic.
This is a book that's close to my heart for many reasons. For one, although I've been involved with some cool projects over the years, this marks only the second full on sequential story I've had published. The first one I was the writer and inker, and for Street Team I co-wrote and inked(although I did pencil and ink the cover), so there's that part of me that wants to have a fully self-drawn story out there someday, but it's still cool to hold an actual comic in your hands that you know you played a role in creating.
Second, the whole concept and creative process is one I'm very proud of. Six creators put aside egos, sacrificed their time and money, to bring their individual Original Characters together to form something greater as a whole. This was a hell of a process, tons of work, and I learned A LOT of things along the way, but I loved every minute of it...mainly BECAUSE of what I learned.
Third, this book serves as a template for so much in my life. It's the start of what could be a great franchise; it is the result of The Street Team VIDEO GAME!!; AND it inspired me get off my lazy bum and develop my own personal character, Aizan!
As for the story itself: it's a gritty urban superhero kung-fu action-thriller with a classic character team-up feel. Street Team: Reign of the Iron Dragon #0 issue serves as the introduction of five individual heroes joining together to topple Oguun, a diabolical despot who will stop at nothing to destroy all of their cities to lay claim to a coveted ultimate weapon.
