Featured Hero #6
Name: LibertyCrusader
Origin: Mutant
Archetype: Tanker
Primary: Invulnerability
Secondary: Super Strength
Server: Triumph
FEAR NOT! Good citizens of Paragon... I, the LibertyCrusader! Am on the
job!

Where have I come from? What strange origin story may be told?

I say to you now; these things matter NOT!

For I am a true scion of Liberty, Freedom... and above all... JUSTICE! I was once just a man... as are all of you, and yet, I have taken up the single most important cause of all; TRUTH! Indeed, deep within each and every one of you, also beats the heart of a Hero; you are all, LibertyCrusaders! in your own way!

Fear my hearty cry of battle for I call out any who would tarnish or oppress the basic rights possessed by the good citizens of this country, and Paragon itself.

LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL!

a couple days ago, on Twitter...

Bill Willingham said: "Today: a visit to studios where City of Heroes, one of those big online games, is created. Then 12 hours in the bar. Full, fulfilling day."

Bill Willingham, for the uninitiated, is a brilliant comic book writer and artist (though mainly writer these days, though he did draw Nightcrawler's feet for me at a convention... long story), and creator of Fables, one of my favorite Vertigo series. Though he has done some superhero stuff as well. So, I wonder if this means anything?

He wrote a Guest Author mission for Architect.

Willingham wrote what is, in my opinion, the best single-issue superhero comic book ever written: Elementals V.2 Issue 15.

After the comic company that published his stuff, Comico, folded (just as his writing took a turn for the brilliant) he did a very naughty comic called Ironwood, until somehow he ended up with Vertigo and Fables.

He also did a number of the covers to some classic D&D modules. But yeah, he's Guest Authoring stuff.
