Issue 28

While Titan and Phantom have been traveling around the alternate Earths, we look in on the rest of the team...

The team faces a new threat in Monstersaurus, a dinosaur-like creature that the Preventors unleash - as well as a new member of their team, Ox.

Along the way Crossbow meets and fights a clone of hers called Dark Bow.

The mysterious Rainbow Lad flies out of nowhere to help them, although his ability to fire rainbows doesn't really seem to help them much!

To end the battle, the team is assisted by more mysterious First T group, claiming to be from another alternate Earth, but when they return to their base we learn that things might not be what they seem as Power Boi knows who the First T really is as he's part of the Ninth T.

Oh, an unknown creature hovers in the air in front of them before walking off...what could that be?

Issue 26

The Fall of the UltraLine Team!

Back in issue # 7 I introduced that fact that my universe had alternate Earths, certainly not a new notion in comics by any means.  In that issue I had a team of villains that had taken over Earth 3, totally forgetting about DC's Crime Syndicate being on their Earth 3.  Not wanting to think there was an influence, I actually changed the villains to being on Earth 2.  

In this story we learn about the team before the 'day of darkness', a happier time on that Earth where Titan was given his powers by an elder, one-armed god named Diodarius.  One day, Titan snapped and he killed the G'Ion of his world and absorbed his powers. He then killed the Diodarius of that world and absorbed his powers.  

This led to a fracture within the team - some sided with Titan, others realized that he turned evil and wanted to stop him.  This leads to a major battle and several members are killed and two, Mindbender and GeoMancer escape.  

Having called themselves the UltraLine time, as they drew the line against evil, those loyal to Tian changed the name of their team to the Terminators of Evil.   Here is the cover to the issue:

This cover was done using a special effect photo editing ap.  

The nature of this issue is very dark, not like the rest of the issues I've written - there is no humor, there is no happiness to this issue.    There is a reason why the people of this world call it the "day of darkness".

Here is the original artwork for the cover, before the special effect was added:


Here is an alternate I considered, but didn't use for the cover:

In the back up story, Titan and Phantom find themselves on Alternate Earth 6 where the Ultra-Elite Team operates out of Australia.  Here's who makes up that team:

Issue 25

 This issue was focused on Pussywyck, the Elder, and his formation of the Pinnacle Forest.

We also saw the development of a new villain called Raw.
Plus we saw Titan and Phantom's visit to Alternate Earth 5 where they met the African Freedom Union.

Issue 24

Issue 24 had a few things going on, for starters we see Titan and Phantom get to the first of the alternate Earths, # 4, a world full of megafauna where humans never evolved.

We then see date night with Magno and Master Mind before witnessing a battle between Serpent and Mythos against some villains in Mexico who attack near the temple where Serpent was almost killed centuries ago before she was rescued by Magno.
We see Vapor and Electrode arrive in the Pinnacle forest and a young man walking down a street in Florida where he is attacked by dark forces.  Oh, let's also not forget one of the would-be muggers of Crossbow being approached in Jail by Major Hole. 

Also, if you blinked you might have missed it - but there is a bird in China waking up from a nap in one panel, and you just know that is going to play a role. 

There were a couple of deleted images.  The first one is a close up of Phantom's face, I just didn't like how the image came out, so I scraped it.
Lastly, there was another two panels that I did the breakdown of, it was during the fight with Serpent and foes in Mexico, which I also didn't like.
