Story Idea
Date: 2006-01-04 06:39 am (UTC)The Buddy System
A super-hero from the 1940s (whose real name happens to be Buddy) returns from a deep space mission in the 1960s only to discover that the relatavistic effects of his journey have left him on an earth hundreds of years evolved from the one he left behind. It's a world where everyone speaks Japanese. Mech suits and samurai roam the unrecognizible landscape (a society that is a blend of science, sorcery, feudalism and cyberpunk) and our hero is paired with a cultural relations officer who carries a really big sword.
West meets East in this buddy comedy about an old school super-hero pondering his place in the new landscape of earth's future as he's paired with a trigger happy, sword-toting, mech-suit wearing woman with a score to settle against a corrupt galactic police force that relegated her to a desk job. Only instead of cars and city blocks being decimated in the wake of this action-comedy romp, we have giant robots and universes being totalled as these two misfits trade high-fives and well-timed quips.

What are they attempting to accomplish between the front cover and the back cover? Because I will not accept 'SHE's a trigger-happy, sword-toting, mecha-wearing woman with a score to settle against a corrupt galactic police force that relegated her to a desk job! HE's an old school superhero pondering his place in the new landscape of Earth's future! THEY FIGHT CRIME!' as a plot. I'm too old for that. I'm not six. BTW, is it trigger-happy /or/ sword-toting? Swords don't have triggers, Two Dead Boys aside.
