I have kind of lost interest in Fade for some reason. Guess I just want to try something new. One idea I'm workshopping is an anthology book called Gunwake.
The premise is this. There's an iron Man type hero we see in the first issue. He's building the suit, and he takes it out for a test run. The key part of the technology in the suit is a device that renders guns completely useless. Maybe it stops them from firing. Maybe it makes them unable to strike the hero. Whatever. Anyway. It doesn't go so well for our hero. He's bulletproof, but frankly he's still a nerdy engineer with no fighting experience. He gets pushed off a roof, apparently to his death.
But see, he's a red herring anyway. The story wasn't directly about him. Someone steals the bulletproof tech from his suit before anyone arrives. Some junkies who just realize they can probably sell it for drugs. They sell it and it works its way into the right hands. Someone duplicates it, it sells and eventually it's everywhere. Guns are effectively useless. So the anthology premise is the world--well the US underworld especially--in the absence of guns.
