The Marvel Universe is more of my style of fantasy
(even though I LOVE D.C.), but it’s also scary enough that sometimes, it’s too
much for me. Marvel blends fantasy and reality. These superheroes interact with
real people and visit real places as well as take on fictional people and
places. I do, somewhere in the back of my little geek mind, sometimes worry
about will happen when Apocalypse
comes to claim the earth, but I know that the mutants, the radioactively
altered, the genius minds, and other world gods are just waiting to come to our
rescue.
Heroes with flaws
seemed silly in the heyday of comic books, but now perfect super heroes just can’t
be taken seriously. Marvel was the first company to really embrace this idea
and increased their popularity with it. Other companies, including D.C., have
also embraced the flawed hero idea, and the world of comic books and
storytelling is all the better for it.
In Eternal Curse all
my characters good, bad, male, female, super, or not have flaws. In in some
cases the flaws are actually a blessing, but I don’t have time to get into that
now. In any case, flaws add a human factor to story-telling that makes the
impossible seem believable.
