Crusaders, Vol. I, Preface - "Up, Up, and Away"

     So here we are, NaNoWriMo 2011 is upon us.  And this year I've decided to take the plunge!  And what better to write than the series I've been stuck on since, well, this time last year.

     Crusaders is a series I've been working on for a while now.  Set in the same world as Shots and another series you may see here someday, it follows the misadventures of a number of different people in the city of Barton, Massachusetts.  In a world like our own, kids across the globe are saturated with comic books, TV shows, cartoons, movies, toys, and video games all telling kids to believe in fictional superheroes.  But as we all know, Batman isn't going to solve our mysteries, Superman isn't going to defeat the villain, and Spider-Man isn't going to deliver our pizza.  When a domestic dispute takes itself to a city rooftop, no one's going to fall out of the sky and save the day.

     Until today.  On a cold April night, one man with a video camera spies a flying man careening through the sky, and the world takes notice.  While the people of Barton search for this mysterious stranger, it isn't long before one man vows to take this power away and pull the city into his grasp.

     So follow along in this 30-day adventure spanning 25 years in the city of Barton, and who knows, maybe there'll be a light at the end of the November tunnel.  Here we go!
