Disasterrific!

Comic pitch #1: Disasterrific!

"Sometimes weird things happen. Sometimes a swarm of three-foot bees with laser eyes will descend upon an innocent city and steal all their zippers. It's a thing. It happens. Sometimes it's worse than that, though. Maybe a rift opens from another dimension, and you've got an invading army of who knows what on your hands, or maybe the flying saucers finally come down and attack, or maybe some old god gets tired of being ignored and takes it out on the world, or maybe it could be something much, much worse.

Yeah, it's probably something worse.

When the catastrophically weird shit goes down, you need a team. A team made up of people who are the best in the world at their specialties, and/or people who were available that day. More importantly, you need a catastrophically weird team.

That's why we're here. To protect the Earth from the crazy ass shit that could rip it apart any day now. When there's a threat to the planet, we punch it in the face. The threat, that is, not the planet. But if the planet is the threat, then we'll punch that, too."

Disasterrific! is, at its core, a full-on gonzo superhero team comic. Fast-paced madness, bizarre catastrophes, and insane heroes are what this is made of.

Cast:

Ms. Wizard - The team's leader. An expert on magic and the occult, widely seen as morally ambiguous. In her recent investigations into a personal matter has discovered several threats to humanity's continued existence, and has decided to assemble a team to deal with them. Is definitely hiding something. Perhaps several somethings.

Professor Science - A mad scientist, with emphasis on the "mad". She was once a fairly typical scientist-adventurer (or, at least as typical as those get), but, at some point she saw something that changed her. Since then, she's been inventing things that make no sense to anyone but her, and has been stretching the definition of "science".

AwesomeGirl - The muscle. She used to be a pretty normal girl, but she got sick of that right quick, and decided she wanted to be a superhero. Years of training, numerous bionic enhancements, and lots of weird science chemicals later, she got her wish. Now, she's AwesomeGirl, face-puncher for justice. Tends to think with her fists, but her fists can be pretty smart.

The EXTREMIST - A living avatar of the 1990s. He's what would happen if Rob Liefeld and a Mountain Dew commercial had a baby. He rides seventeen skateboards and bungee jumps from the open sky, all the while slamming down carbonated beverages no mere mortal could ingest. He wears sunglasses on his sunglasses, and his costume is 80% pouches.

Count Goatula - Yes, he's a real goat. Yes, he's a real vampire. No, he's not a real Count. He's a Duke.

Andrea Martinez - A twenty-something goth who one day discovered that she's actually an angel incarnated on Earth. Needless to say, this caused a bit of confusion. Especially since she's a Satanist.

Urmvulagxt - A sentient pile of worms in the shape of a man. Might actually be some sort of elder god. Intends to eat the universe. Thoroughly unpleasant, and helps only under protest.

Together, these... uhm... "heroes" will face threats ranging from evil corporate ninjas, to extradimensional machine wizards, to a small town populated by nuclear robots, to the personified concept of universal annihilation.

If anybody else could do this job, they haven't stepped up.
