Bill Jackson

Stuck Inside of Mobile - Volume 1, #15

Extra, extra...read all about it... The Jack is BACK! 'Times veteran Bill Jackson triumphantly returns with the zine that made him famous! And he's bringing the Omniverse back with him! Check in with what's been happening with Bill's life, and then dive in to the Azalea City Register, where you can check out the write-ups and sheets for both Captain Alabama and Minimax, get the low-down on things to do and things to read (and channels to watch) in Azalea City, learn more than you EVER thought you'd know about hurricanes and how to write 'em up in Champions, and thrill to the A.C. tales "Prologue", "Wolfwitch", and the seven-years-awaited complete version of the Gravedigger story "Resurrection Day"!

Martin Maenza

World of Maenza: Online #14

It's April, Fools, and Martin's tricking you out with some new W.O.M. action! It's Justice Gang excitement all around, as he hits us with some superbly-heroic fiction, starting with an aptly-titled tale from 1986 starring the J.G.'s Karate Master called "Introspection", and then takes us back to the future to the year 2000 for a Tigerman (II) and Amazon story called "Annual Renewal". For your always-pleasin' story extras, he presents sheets for both Karate Master and Tigerman (II, if you'll recall...), and then kicks it Omniverse-style for yet another all-new Lodestone tale called "Below the Surface", where the O.V.'s favorite teen gets campy...but will more than marshmallows get roasted?

Dave Mattingly

Power Point #11

It's Tool Time at Power Point! Dave's back once again with a newly-constructed zine for your Champions inspection. Find out what's going down in his "Super-Hero Challenge" (in HD where available) campaign, get the latest on the happenings at Blackwyrm Games, and erect some respect for his latest PC, the oh-so-handy Craftsman!

Michael O'Connell

The "F" Word #13

You've read the stories (right?)...now experience the page! The newest exciting addition to ForteUniverse.com debuts with the Forge team web site! The latest hero team to rock the Forte world gets a home of its own, with character profiles, an NPC guide, its own art gallery, history and details of both the team and the project, and a comprehensive history of K.C.'s gaming world that brought forth Forge. And, of course, all the existing Forge stories, plus a special deleted scene that unlocks the secrets of the Forge team member that almost was...Yellow Rose! Michael brings you all this, plus more tantalizing new art to the Forte 2000 site gallery, and a new art piece featuring Delight on the Windjammer page to boot.

K.C. Ryan

Son of Thunder #12

It's an Irish April (you didn't think K.C. would let St. Paddy's just slip by, did you?), and we're all in luck, 'cause K.C. once more brings the THUNDER! Americana-style, that is! K.C. hits not one, but SEVEN out of the park, with a half-dozen-plus-one all-new Americana tales! The Ex-Patriot (yikes!) is back in "The Reckoning", A.C. chats over pancakes in "Breakfast at Stephanie's", there's an Americana in the house in "General Hospital", there's a beedee-beedee-BEATdown awaiting in "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot!", Americana gets some good fortune in "Strange Visitor", gets more action than she bargained for in "Showdown of Steel", and finally, K.C. takes A.C. out to the ball game with "Fielder's Choice". Not enough Americana for you? How 'bout three new galleries full of new Americana art?! And just to keep things Irish, you can check out K.C.'s Irish Heritage section. Get a wee bit cultured, laddy!
