One of the flagship titles from the company that brought you Static Shock.
Written by Ivan Velez, Jr. and Dwayne McDuffie.
>The "Blood Syndicate" is a street gang of superpowered metahumans operating out of Paris Island, in Dakota City. Most of its members received their powers in the "Big Bang", when a tear-gas laced with Quantum Juice was used to dispel a massive gang riot, killing many and unlocking the metagene in an elite and surviving few. Its members are compiled from the remnants of several other street gangs, including the Paris Island Bloods and the Force Syndicate, hence their title being a compilation of both names. Lack of stability within the team led to their eventual disbanding.

Flashback made an appearance in an episode of Static Shock. She was the bang baby whose powers let Static go back in time to the night his mother died.

If the Big Bang is the same one from the comics I think it's a great way to just create a bunch of super powered characters
>>82460798
>>82460798
Yeah, it's pretty cool. In the next issue they start a story thread about how the cops falsified the reports to make it seem like all the people who died were killed in the gang fight when really it was because of the gas. I don't remember if it's like this in the show, but in the comic the Big Bang gas was an experimental tear gas.
>>82460859
>>82460798
not the first time DC did something like this. Remember the Bloodline Parasites that made the New Bloods? Probably you only remember the Hitman, Tommy Monaghan
>>82460872
That's it for issue 1. If this thread's still up tomorrow I'll put up #2. If not, I might upload Icon or Static or Hardware.
>>82460450
I liked this, but I always found it a bit odd that a bunch of gangbangers would dress up like that.
>>82460450
Man, I loved Milestone stuff as a kid. This book was my favorite.
>>82462119
Same. I really like Wise Son and Tech-9's outfits though. If they did a modern version of Holocaust I'd like to see something like a red trenchcoat. You know, flashy, but not superhero tights flashy.
>>82462119
>>82462207
I loved both their outfits, but they looked weirdly military for an anti-authoritarian gang.
Tech-9 especially looked like he should be head of security of some evil cyberpunk corporation.
>>82462251
Well he does have military experience and his power's unlimited ammo and materializing guns so it makes sense.
>>82462251
>but they looked weirdly military for an anti-authoritarian gang.
You'd be surprised at how often that happens.
And his outfit does have a cobbled from a bunch of surplus shit look to it. The top half looks fine but the tights and boots look odd.
What I'm finding more issue with honestly is that none of them are tattooed. I guess it would be too much extra work for the artist.
>>82462366
Does anyone know if the things on Flashback's face tattoos or part of the costume or a side effect from the Big Bang gas?
>>82460517
It's probably good that black guys created these dudes, because even with that some of them still look like racist stereotypes.
Thanks OP I've been wanting to check this out for a while.
>>82460450
I know you know better than to do the issue where they go to the movie theater. Dawg is furiously blowing himself in one panel.

Boogieman's design is so fucking cool.
>>82467368
That's it for issue #2. If there's enough interest I'll upload #3 later on.
>>82467381
There's interest. Don't you stop till you've storytimed the entire series.
Why was Wise Son called Wise Son when he's such a giant dumbass?
>>82467849
I think it's a reference to Islam
>>82467903
Yeah, I'm also surprised that they got away with making the Muslim character both a raving asshole and a sexist without any blowback from the last generation of PC fanatics.
Bump. I want to read the next issue.
