Just the Title Page

This is only the title page. I haven't even started the story yet but I wanted to get it done so I had some idea of what I was doing. Tell me what you think about the color and the summary.

Good News

Just finished writing chapter one, hopefully it will be up sometime today. Keep your fingers crossed.

Tease!

I clicked on the page and saw, the Booster Gold enfemmed pic and I almost shouted aloud. Then I saw it was only the title page. Drat!!! LOL. However, I like the Pic and can already see some differences from in the Retcon version. Oh, by the way, Booster was one of my favorites with his "Coulda' been a contender" attitude. Mike doesn't appear to be from the future and nor does he have a pile of superhero gadgets that lets him play the Hero in the past.

I also seem to remember that compared to athletes today, he was much superior given the couple hundred of years in the future advances in medicine and evolution.

Hugs!

Some differences

I tweaked him a bit from his comic book counterpart. I thought about making him from the future but it doesn't really work in the context of the Retcon universe. That doesn't mean there isn't going to be some future stuff...unfortunately I don't want to spoil anything...but let's just say its there. He's still a really good athlete and a gambler too.

I finished the first chapter actually. It should be up by the end of the day I'm hoping. I've just started writing the second.
