As some of meh friends know, I've created a comic back in 2004 thats surprisingly still in existance.  Black Ion has gone from a simple "bad guy appears go beat em up" to a something I can actually say I'm proud of.  I guess the official title would be Black Ion V09 but I'll simply leave it at black ion.  For the few who wanted to know the changes (charlie *cough*), I'll explain a lil.
My setting has went from cliche 90's japan to an entirely shifted world.  The continents of today have moved and shifted making new bodies of land and water.  The big bad guy of the story was never clearified until now.  The story shows Laurense Gaudomine, a very charismatic aristocrat and Grand Councilman over the vast reaches of the Barolithian Empire (which rose to power decades before the start of the story), manipulating and doing whatever to obtain true power over the world.  this leads to the legend of androh being uncovered and the unveiling of the black ion (which are 3 spheres, each one holding a specific power of androh)(very much the size and shape of dragonballs if that gives you a visual)
However, in the legend, a legendary warrior fought and subdued androh but died in the process.  centuries later, his decendant lives orphaned with his siblings (also has no idea of the legend or the black ion).  As time goes on, they uncover the truth about what happend to their parents, the legend and the plans of Laurense.  The story I've designed to be much more intricate and deeper in depth than the previous versions and alotta thoughts been put into it.  I've tied up alot of the loose ends and the comic now actually makes sense XD
anyway there ya have it
