XD Mann Graphic Novel

This is the Cover for my Graphic Novel XD.

In a world where words are people. A serial Killer who calls himself the Editor killed The Exclamation Point. Now XD and his team of superheroes must find the killer before Editor Kills Them

If only the Exclamation Point knew this was his last crusade. He would have gone with a bang.

The Daily Literature opened with the headline:

! KILLED BY FAMOUS SERIAL KILLER: EDITOR. 

If the XD had been more emotional, He could’ve cried. The Exclamation Point or EP, as he called himself, was one amazing superhero. Sure he’s got a tendency to be a bit annoying sometimes.

But he was the best at what he did.

“He calls Greg, as he enters the Bloomberg Factory,” said Licorice. Licorice’s eyelids flickered as the vision ran through his head. The ecstasy made him forget how he had acquired the vision in the first place.

“Who’s Greg?” Mark said.

“Hold your questions, Question.” Plus said. By the tone of her voice she seemed annoyed, but Licorice can’t determine if it was because of the Question Mark or because she wasn’t quite used to how he had gained his current vision.

“…he is looking at a boy. He is chained and looks afraid.” Licorice continued. “He forces the kid to tell him where the wares are. The kid shakes, pisses in his shorts. The kid only chatters. ‘Damn it!’ The Exclamation Point says.”

“EP turns around, and the boy mumbles. He says, ‘a) The boy bit the dog, b) the boy was bit by the dog, c) the dog bit the boy, d) the dog was bit by the boy’”

“EP asks the boy, ‘what the hell is this?’” Licorice continued, his hands gripped his chair tightly.

“The boy laughs maddeningly. He screams ‘which is right?’”

“EP laughs. Of course its C dimwit.”

“’Wrong’ another voice says, a much deeper voice, like an adult’s. EP turns around. Someone throws liquid in his face. The liquid smells of blood. ‘A) The boy bit the dog!’ He wipes his visor. The kid lunges at him from behind. It bites his neck; tears his leather suit. EP elbows him. And throws him in mid-air, then giving him a roundhouse kick in the ribs, he could feel the kid’s rib crack.”

“Flashy as always,” said Plus, her tone a bit bitter. From what Licorice knew, they were secret lovers.

“But the kid is standing again, like he wasn’t hurt. The Exclamation Point looks around; he cannot find the other man anywhere. The kid jumps at him, his mouth almost feral and bloody. EP catches the kid’s right temple with a powerful hook punch. A sharp pain surges forth in his knuckles. The kid falls down, unconscious.”

“He checks the kid, looking for a clue as to what made him a monster. His vision blurs for a moment. He touches his neck, he looks at his hand and sees blood. ‘Poison’ he mutters. He sees shadow in front of him, a knife plunges deep in his throat—“

“Stop!” Plus said. “We all know what happened to him now.” Licorice looked at her, looking for any signs of tears, but there wasn’t. For a moment he thought about him having even the tiniest chance of getting together with her. Not a chance, he thought.

“Any clues to his killer?” Mark said, “Is it really the same Editor?”

“He always used his monsters before. It’s the first time we’ve seen even a shadow of him.” Licorice said.

“Three questions, who’s Greg? What are the wares EP’s looking for? And what the hell is he doing there in the first place.” Question Mark asked.
