#2659: Spreading Issues

This Comic's Storylines:

This Comic's Cast:

I wanted to show the virus and its movement across the planet but it's hard to do that after the fact, especially in a static comic and not some kind of animated something. This plotline, in a way, is suffering from less showing and more telling, but part of that is just because of the setup, dropping our characters in most of the way through the epidemic.

Still trying to decide if I'm going to do some kind of laboratory or hospital scene to give the virus some heft, or if I skip to the part where the heroes work to fix it (because showing the virus would be kind of a downer in this comedic comic).

Also... I need to figure out how to fix the mess I dropped the heroes into...

Here's another suggestion: The party doesn't fix the plague. Instead, it naturally self-attenuates into a non-lethal disease through normal mutation/evolution while the heroes fail to do anything useful. Eventually some of the affected medical staff and researchers create a vaccine and a treatment after surviving the disease long enough to get better. Then the authorities thoroughly inoculate and disinfect the party, load them up in the shuttle, and kick them off the planet.

Angel started a plague, or Angel IS a plague...you decide!

@TheGrumpyBear: Both.
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
