by Joe Palmer
Issues 1, 2 and 3
"(Usually) puberty is the catalyst for an otherwise normal appearing kid to develop mutant powers, but what if the catalyst is sex, or even the anticipation of sex with someone you desire? Georgiou answers that question, and it has both unforeseen consequences on personal and epic scales. " |

"The first four (pages) of (issue four of) Elemental Micah are much darker than any of the previous issues, with an intriguing and surprising twist.... I am really looking forward to reading the whole thing!" [FB Link]
CJ Lines - Author
"First four pages of Elemental Micah #4 are awesome. Killer twist and it sure as Hell brings in the darkness... The only thing that sucks is how long I'm going to have to wait to read a) the rest and b) #5 onwards! Consider me hooked." [FB Link]

(Working Title)

Urban Legends
While Micah, Dana, Simon and Alfonzo have their own stories to tell, there are certain mysteries and fables, urban legends if you will, floating about from varying sources, such as leaked military documents, revered clairvoyants and even the odd children's author.
Whether these stories are the invention of manipulative or delusional individuals is always up for debate, but it is important to document such events as even rumours and myths stem from some truth. If nothing else, they're most certainly an intriging read. |

Who is Elemental Micah?
When you lost your virginity, did you feel like a God? Micah did.
For a guy who is overweight, slobby, gay with very poor eyesight, a very broken nose and a name people never seem to get right, you wonder whether the fates were on the ale when they were choosing him.
Or did the fates choose him?
How did he gain these powers? Did he earn them mystically, inherit them from his family or was he in contact with a radioactive animal of sorts?
And what's the purpose of having these powers? There aren't any super villains around, so who does he really have to fight? Is there actually a need for a person with such luxuries if, as it is believed, he is the only one?
Until he finds out, he'll keep having his misadventures with Dana, Simon and his dog Alfonzo and hopefully he'll discover the meaning of his existence. | |
