With AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY coming out very soon, I thought it’d be a good idea to (re)share a two superhero essays on this site in preparation for the Cobalt Crusader to return.
These essays were written a while back but still ring true today in terms of writing superhero fiction.
First, get ready for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY by checking out THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in its entirety (or at least the first book).
For those unaware, I keep a LinkTree. The One Link, as I call it. From there you can go to every single place I am on on the Web. YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, this site . . . the list goes on. We also did up a new color scheme the other day, but this weekend I updated my LinkTree (which you can subscribe to) with a catalog of my books via their new store feature. It’s pretty cool and part of the LinkTree ultra update.
This is just a quick notice that this exciting pulp superhero novel has just gone to press!
Moments ago everything was uploaded to the various printers and distributors. Now it’s an issue of waiting for everything to be processed before launch!
Finally, AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY will be out soon!
I’m pleased to report that Machine Month comes to a close today. We’ve been logging major hours at the day job plus doing the creative work and keeping you entertained throughout the week here on this blog and elsewhere.
I’m tired.
Four-day weekend starting tomorrow. I plan to recharge and get a certain book out to you.
What you have above is a sneak peek at an AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY cover partial reveal, which is coming out very soon. The partial cover was revealed on the socials to great excitement. It’s been a good long while since Axiom-man’s had an adventure and now his time has come and this time, he’s not alone.
Writing Axiom-man team-ups is always fun. FROZEN STORM was a blast (check it out if you haven’t already. Great reviews).
And upcoming this year is the long-awaited BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY! Yes, in the fall three books will come out and wrap up the first act to THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA.
The edge is where we stand as of this entry. The edge of what?
Of things being complete.
We now have all the pieces so we’re finishing putting AXIOM-MAN/ CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY together for you.
CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS is pretty much ready to go outside of a final review.
We just finished Season One of the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME podcast, with Season Two to start in a month. Make sure to subscribe to the channel so you’re set for the next season.
Besides formatting, THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX is done.
All right, so things are starting to come together. Just over the weekend I received back the edits for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, which means that after I go over the edits (which is me doing just that: looking at the edits only prior to a final pass), the book goes into the production machine, gets a final look-over, then off to you, dear reader.
I’m really excited to release this book. It’s not your usual Axiom-man story and it was a chance for me to start a mythology that may or may not be true. I’ll leave that to you to decide for when the book comes out.
Also, I got the final piece I needed for my Writing 101 series I’m bringing to YouTube. There’s a method to the madness here and a bit of scheduling. It’ll all make sense as the episodes come out.
Lastly, this week is also a major work week with a ton of hours needing to be put in so if I’m a bit silent on the social feeds, that is why.
Metahumans vs Werewolves: A Superhero Anthology Book Spotlight
The war between Good and Evil has raged since before Time began. Now it’s ultimate power versus ultimate savagery.

Put these two groups of people together and you have a clash between light and darkness that is sure to rock the foundation of the world and bring about an epic battle unlike anything seen before.
Featuring familiar heroes like Axiom-man, Midnight Angel, Nightcat, The Wraith, The Cowl and others, these eleven stories of super-powered heroism and terror are a thrilling ride through the worlds of wolf and superhero, and to a place where only one can remain standing.

Let’s travel back in time to my first YouTube video when I relaunched the channel in September of 2019. I had a channel prior to that but had minimal content. Nothing as vast as it is now.
But hey, we grow and things take time. This unboxing video is special because the box contains the first arrival of the Special Limited Hardcover Edition of AXIOM-MAN/AURORAMAN: FROZEN STORM straight from the printer.
This book is almost sold out and is the ONLY limited edition (especially lettered) superhero novel on the market.
Be a part of history. Check out the video then check out the book. Yes, a little pricey, but only 26 copies of these guys exist on Planet Earth. That’s it. Signed by both authors.
