So, to anyone reading this. Thanks for your time, we promise the full adventure will be released on twitter, somehow, since we won't have Geocites anymore at the end of the month. I know there isn't a lot of people following us actually, but to anyone who become interested in this, I have to say thanks to you, a lot. We hope, when released, that you could enjoy the read and leave any comments at your will. nonsenseband1@hotmail.com. Meanwhile you can read about the history of the development and the story of the comic to get an idea of what to expect. Daniel Alvear, Topic Comics
It's an inhouse comic done by Topic Comics. Written by Marcos Daniel Alvear and Angela Alvarez Pisco. Penciled by Marcos Daniel Alvear. Co-created by Xavier Ruiz in 2004. Drama and Art Consultant Daniel Meza García. Production on the comic began in August 2007 with a story roughly written at the beginning of the year. The first part of the proyect, Vanky #3 Resurrection was completed in September 16 and presented in July 15th 2008. Before it's release, Vanky #4, the second part was put on hold while development on Drag Dragon #4 was completed in June 2008. Throught 2009 work was being done on the story of Vanky #4, which was considered incompleted. Angela Alvarez was brought to the team to complete some ideas and work as a consultant while she fully worked on a separated story at the same time. This time, the story showed a little more focus on the characters and their feelings, a style that varied with works done before. Let that be the main reason this release may be a lot different from other comics done before. Again thanks for your time, below is the story of the comic. You can read it to get an idea of what to expect. What happened at the very beginning? Xavier Ruiz isa man that lives guilt for the bad things that happened to Sandy Mendoza, his former fiancée whom he betrayed with Gabriela Jurado, a childhood friend. Sandy suffered a major psychological decline after the events and finally died sometime later. This is what Xavier have nightmares of everyday, so it's better to clear this up right now. Vanky #1 and Vanky #2 are not part of the main story here in Vanky Resurrection, but I will give a quick resume on to what happened there because it's deadly important to know so the main story have a lot of more sense. Q: Why don't you show me the comics instead? Vanky #1 -released in October 12th, 2004 It's 1972. After the events that will change Sandy forever, Xavier gets mad about the rape of Gabriela Jurado. Seeking revenge, he becomes Vanky, a vigilante that will low the high rates of crime and injustice that have been surrounding the city since its inception. Vanky #2: Vanky Returns -released in October 12th, 2005
Note: I actually try to make all my comics have a connection, so we won't get deep into the business Hannibal do with the mafia this time. That's a discussion for another comic, another time. Xavier Ruiz has been secretly operating to keep crime low in Quil City, following every mobster and stopping them before it's too late. Gearing up, for the ultimate test, he goes to Agrochemicals, unnoticed goes to the lab chambers where Hannibal Sabala hides. He confronts Sabala. He tells him the truth. He always was the real Xavier but thanks to experimentation he won't get old as fast as common people do. He angrily raises his gun pointing at Hannibal, asking if he knows anything about Sandy. Hannibal reveals that Sandy was going to die because of a mental illness that was killing her, so he put her in a water chamber so she could survive. When Xavier was about to kill Hannibal, for all he has done, Xavier realizes he wasn't doing the proper thing. Instead of shooting Hannibal, he shoots at Sandy who was inside the water chamber so she could finally die no matter what ever hapenned to her before. With this, he proves that revenge is up for no good and that things that died in the past should stay that way, with no remorse, without hard feelings. Hannibal is sent to jail and Xavier talks to Timothy Sax to tell him what had happened in Agrochemicals. D'you think this is the end of the story? NO!!! IT'S NOT. It has only begun. So, even if you thing the story is crappy enough to stop reading or not I suggest not to loose interest since it was a story written when I was a lot more younger, and more useless*. So, keep that in mind because the next story is not so totally linear. It's a lot more different and complex. I won't totally unveil the story since I prefer you to read the comic this time, which may be released on the Internet later at the end of October. *That's how i feel about myself when I was young. It doesn't mean I understimate the capacity of young people. In Vanky #3 VK Resurrection -released in October 12th, 2007. And released to the public in July 15th, 2008.
While Sandy's tragedy is what Xavier keeps in mind most of his days, the main story begins with the murder of a woman on an alley. Xavier Ruiz see a man in a black fashionable costume with a hat and a scythe. Police arrives surrounding Xavier, the police was already alerted about bad things to come that night.
In Vanky #4 Niels Vengeance After an explotion that happenned at the most luxurious restaurant in the city on the events in VK #3, Niels Romero was left homeless and orphan. He starts following Xavier Ruiz who is leading the investigation with Timothy Sax. Niels seeks revenge and Xavier tries to teach him that revenge is not good. Xavier accepts Niels to stay one night, so they can talk about his wish to kill Guillermo Campos, responsible for the death of Niel's parents. Xavier goes out one night to to investigate just to find out that one of his friends in the investigation has betrayed him. Who would that be? Long time partner in the police Tim Sax, or is it Xavier new lawyer, Carla Robles? Weren't both of them in love? Where The F*ck Is Carmen San Diego? : S. Check Out Vanky #4 Niels Vengeance very soon. Check Out Vanky #4 Niels Vengeance soon. The story is good, I guess. Not mind blowing but the best I can do.

Settings: Quil City *it's not the same 2009 we're living in. This story was written in January 2007 and the setting was meant to be like a post-invasion**, where the city was re-constructed by Architect Daniel Meza. The events of the so called post-invasion have not been told, so you're not missing anything. They will be told later in other comicbooks. **not an alien invasion, by the way :p. Characters
