Bush43
By Jason Kenney

What You Should Know: Bush43 was doin' his thing, jumping around Pacific City, kicking bad guys in the nuts, beating all the hot chicks off with a stick, keeping the world safe, that kinda stuff. Then the Mayor decided that Bush43's coolness was too great and he'd have to do something about it. So he sent this big ass robot thingy out to kick Bush43's ass, which it did quite well. B43 spent time in Alhazred Asylum where it was revealed that his real name is Jeffery Carter and his powers are psychosematic. Ooooo.... After a super sweet escape, B43 ran to beat up the Mayor but failed miserably and his rematch with the robot wasn't much of a rematch when you consider that B43 got his butt kicked even more than the first time. Trying to get his life back in order, B43's learnin' the whole fightin' thing from Mysteria's butler, the former villain Alfonse. The new Mayor, a guy/chick that swooped in and killed the previous mayor, has asked Bush43 to join the New Mages.

What's Gonna Happen: Issue #11 finds our hero playing in a tux and serving finger foods to rich people, afterwhich he goes to fight some chick who can make people sick just by thinking about it. Fight ensues and Bush43 must make a pretty rough decision in the end. Heavy stuff.

Down The Road: Act One was issues 1-5. We'll label that "The Honeymoon". Issues 6-8 will be refered to as "First Intermission". Now Act Two is in full swing, "The Reality". Yes, there is a grand scheme to this whole crazy thing, and our jovial superhero will have to deal with greater threats than before, Old faces returning with a vengence, the sidekick refusing to give it up, and the whole New Mages gig's really taking its toll. You'll see...
