One of the greatest warriors of recent times, destined to become an equally great leader until his life was cut short by vile menaces from another planet.
Ziriza is a young citizen on her way to adulthood and the understanding that goes with that journey. She has many questions, but she is also well trained, well disciplined. Anxious to do her share and be a healthy member of the community at large...
There are many animals that populate the planet Zirros. Some are creatures dark and sinister. Some are resourceful and friendly, making great pets. Grum is the perfect example of the later. Playful, energetic, strong, yet gentle. His species is curious, very social and well domesticated...
Hive Schools are the main means of public education throughout the landscapes of Zirros. They are a place to train for a Zirr's specialty and to learn and grow during each recuperation.
Monstro City's citizens vary widely in form, color, size, appendages, organs, and other bodily parts and pieces. Looking not so much like one species within a very narrow range of DNA encoding, but instead, almost like multiple species, with a very broad and dynamic DNA "footprint." They are still very much a part of the hominid branch, but they seem to stretch the genetic extremes to their limits. They (some? most? all?) can (and do) produce offspring from homo sapient relationships. For all intents and purposes they are human. To date, no published Astro City stories have studied their ancestry and DNA makeup in depth.
If you like robots (who doesn't?) then you need to visit Ms. Ellie's Robot Museum, just a few miles off of Interstate-25. There you will find the most complete set of robots ever collected in one location. Some of them may not be in very good shape, some are one of a kind, but they all have interesting histories. Why some of them have even battled members of Honor Guard.
