General Notes

Reaper.
Orpheus. Devil. Beating the devil. Deal. Faust.

Titanium.
Father Son bonding. Driving through post-apocalyptic America. Really just a figment of the Kid's imagination come to life in the breaking apart of reality. Post-post-apocalyptic. What happens when all reality breaks down with no one left to percieve it into being. Muscle car in a lake of lava, Titanium leaps into the flames, melting as he does, plummeting to the center where he connects with the female half of fire. The melt into one being. The Kid then treks to find the female half of his being.

Pop Culture.
Explosion of celebrity culture. Scientology army, Kabbalah mystics, doing battle before our eyes. Preparing for the endgame. Individual with so much amassed publicity that she explodes, transcends form to be an all-devouring mass.

A road trip from West Coast to East Coast and beyond into Europe. Hunter S. Thomson writer, guitar player, conspiracy theorist. Driving a muscle car cross country as they escape the blobs mass, devouring the country.

Playing guitar into the mass, swallowed whole. Driving over the bridge, an eye rises up out of the east river, a massive dormant godbeast awakes. The blob covering it, blanketing the earth, absorbing the souls into a wonderland of delight. Heaven on earth sucking people up as hell rises from the earth.

A cosmic god stirs beneath us and aches to be hatched and uncurl from the world and stretch out into the universe.

Paris Hilton sells her soul. Cult of Paris builds up energy. Tom Cruise vs Madonna at MTV Music Awards. Britney erupts into devouring mass. Writer, guitarist, and conspiracy theorist at Whiskey A-Go-Go. LA becomes a state of emergency, the world ends before their eyes. They steal a car and head to Vegas. Vegas to Arizona. Up into Midwest. Chicago. New Jersey. NYC. Long Island.

Montauk Lighthouse. The beast towering above America, a blob of pink trying to cover it, battleships come from the ocean and fire at them both. Rescue to Europe. Hint of new situation arising on the new half-earth.

Society pressed into Europe. Panic, riots, deconstruction of civilization. Removal of pop culture and its effects.

Bob Awesome
Max tricked into joining the cast. Trapped nowhere protecting a portal to anywhere. Power, speed, and vision but bound to a place outside of time. Max is Bob's chance to break free. Be with the girl he loves in New Mexico, another protector in another reality.

Spider-Monkey

Page 1
Panel 1
Peter Primate is standing among a crowded sidewalk, jungle lining the edges of the buildings, a special lamppost lane where monkeys swing by. He's Puny Primate, glasses and fragile old camera, tucked inbetween apes, gorillas, baboons. He looks annoyed as he tries to walk along towards us.

Panel 2
Peter Primate leaps towards the handles on the lampost and almost too gracefully swings through the crowd. He adjusts his glasses with one paw, and holds the camera with his tail.

Panel 3
Spider-Sense goes of as he looks over his shoulder up at us. Monkey oook face.

Page 2
Panel 1
The Green Gibbon soars by laughing. Close up full body shot! Wild eyed and manic! Not attacking however.

Panel 2
Spider-Monkey swings behind a billboard as he watches Green Gibbon fly off away down the block. He's maybe got his glasses off, and shirt lifted up to show the costume, maybe mask in his tail.

Panel 3
Spider-Monkey whips out from behind the sign in full supersimianhero style.

Page 3
Panel 1
Spider-Monkey swings down the street, spinning around the smoke trail from Green Gibbon.

Panel 2
Spider-Monkey flips through the air upside down as follows the trail over a rooftop water tower.

Panel 3
Spider-Monkey's shocked face

Page 4
Panel 1
Green Gibbon has transformed (or mid-transformation) into the BABOONDER! The Beyonder Marvel Apes style. I was thinking of his casual retro attire. Out of style a bit.

Panel 2
Spider-Monkey hanging off the side of the building, staring over at the Baboonder, the cityscape in the distance between them.

Panel 3
Spider-Monkey and Baboonder transcend reality with a wave of his monkey's paw. An extreme close-up of the paw and the power cosmic. Reality warbles behind them as Spider-Monkey is thrown off balance.

Page 5
Panel 1
Baboonder and Spider-Monkey float above the scene. It's Spider-Monkey's supporting cast. Aunt May, Uncle Ben, Betty Brant, J Jonah Jameson, Flash Thompson, Liz Allen, Harry Osbourne. Gwen Stacy centered.

Panel 2
Peter Primate taking photos, going out on a date with Gwen, Aunt May & Uncle Ben together working in the kitchen, if his life had not gotten bad.

Panel 3
Reaction shot of Spider-Monkey.

Page 6
Panel 1
Green Gibbon, heading the Simian Six, all attack Spider-Monkey.

Panel 2
Gwen Stacy being tossed off the bridge, Spider-Monkey leaping after her, Green Gibbon hover from above.

Panel 3
Spider-Monkey swings below her catching her.

Page 7
Panel 1
Baboonder holds out his paw, shows how things would be if he wished himself free of the powers.

Panel 2
Realities start to converge, other animal universes beging to merge with them.

Sinister Six as different animals?

How his life is complcated. The Baboonder wants to show him what? Alternate realities?

Kid's show Spider-Man with animal badguys. Kraven a lion, Lizard, Chameleon, Dr. Octopus, Electro Eel,

Green Gibbon's Monkey Paw wish. Not Spider-Monkeys. Baboonder apologizes, showing him the life he can never have, then pull it away from him.

Spider-Monkey swinging through alternate Marvel Realities. Spider-Man 2099, animated, old school, all animals, finally coming to Spider-Monkey holding the Monkey's Paw. Whatever that is.

That paw of the Baboonder. Alter reality with it. Monkey's Paw. Three wishes. Money/son's death. Son's return/Zombie. Return to status quo. Spider-Monkey wishing. Green Gibbon Wishing. Gibbon as trickster god.

Show Spider-Monkeys day to day, highlights with ape twist, wishing it different. The alternate realities endless. Each universe has it's own infinite realities.

Fate controls us, fight that at our peril.

Robbing museum, Simian Six, take on more powerful animal totems. Monkey's Paw, grabs it by accident. Wishes he would do things different.
