This is the last of the Adventures of Lucky Vega strips that I have completed for the time being. But a great many more are waiting in the thumbnail-sketch stage to be penciled, inked, and lettered for your entertainment in the weeks and months to come; we're nowhere near finished! And you can rest assured that Quantum Comics Blog will not just be coasting until the strip resumes; I have some other goodies to show you in the weeks ahead.
Meanwhile, we leave off with Trey Blaisdell remembering what he's supposed to be doing this morning, which has nothing to do with the young waitress that he picked up last night, in whose apartment he's just woken up! As Trey hurriedly tosses on his clothing (for now) and speeds out of the apartment, he leaves behind a girl that neither he nor we will ever see again and--though he can't know this now--speeds away to a future of wonderment and adventure such as he's never imagined! We'll all be sharing in that wonderment soon, so keep coming back for more.
We take our leave of Lucky himself just for a moment to have a look at what's going on in a little apartment in North Hollywood where another member of our cast is just waking up. Roger's big brother, Warren Blaisdell III, commonly called just Trey, has not had an easy time in his young life. He is what people used to call "a wayward youth". Make that VERY wayward. He wants to do better than he's done so far, but as we're about to see in our next strip, his wayward impulses still get the better of him. In The Environauts, when Trey acquires his super-powers, he'll be called Cirrus. You'll also note that his wayward impulses are decidedly heterosexual ones. For our gay visitors, take heart: The Adventures of Lucky Vega will have gay characters and gay material as we roll along. We now just happen to be introducing a very straight boy. Keep an eye on Trey as our story unfolds. As you'll also see, he's more than worth keeping an eye on.
We're about to switch scenes in this first Adventure of Lucky Vega. In this strip we set up a scene transition away from Lucky and company for a moment--just long enough to introduce another character in our cast. It seems Lucky's pal Roger has a big brother who's been set up for a job interview with Esteban, and Dr. Vega turns his attention at least for a moment away from the mind-boggling mystery of the cybernetic attacks to the potential newest member of his payroll. We get our first inkling here of whom we're about to meet in our next strip. Stay tuned, as they say...
Rejoining The Adventures of Lucky Vega for the new year, the maddening mystery of who has been attacking the data infrastructure of the world continues--and Dr. Esteban Vega doesn't know what he's going to do about it, at least not yet! Lurking in the future is an evil so vast, so all-consuming, that the assaults on corporate information technology are only its first expression. What is about to attack the Earth and all mankind is something far more deadly than it appears, as we shall see...
