Of course I have adventures in comic books. We all do, even if we're just innocent bystanders, because most comic books take place in a world just like ours. And whenever we go to sleep and then dream of adventures, we have one somewhere. Why not in a comic book?
So here I am, in my own dream world. It's great for you, my readers, as long as you're just watching. You'll never guess where the story will go next month; I usually can't predict it either. But that's not necessarily a good thing for me.

Where I live, President Hatch is reinstating the Superhuman Control Initiative. There's a rebellion against this, superhuman and otherwise, and it's powerful enough to go into exile and then blockade our entire universe. And this affects a bunch of high tech, including my world's teleporters. The United Nations has tried to break the blockade, but they're stymied.
Meanwhile, I still have a life to live, under the name of Wyatt Ferguson. But I pay close attention to the headlines.

Hello. I am Wyatt's colleague, Sureshkumar Prabatha. Now that Wyatt has disappeared, I am administering the FERG. I am glad to speak to u about our old friend Wyatt.
Wyatt is still missing. We cannot be certain he will ever be back. Now that he is gone and I have to talk to all the ppl he had to talk to, I miss him more than all of u.
Unfortunately, Wyatt was the one who kept our records of weird news stories from throughout the world. Without him, we cannot even keep up with u'r stories that u give us in email. We will have to not publish those stories for now. Please don't be offended.
Wyatt would be honored by how many of u have come to observe his memory, both in New England and in the Midwest, the places he loved. But please, the FERG Hotels can't hold u all any more, even if u can camp in tents in February.
Wyatt would also be honored by how much tribute fiction has come out from u all, in memory of Wyatt. U all have written how he might still be alive somewhere. We appreciate it, especially now.
From now on, every month, this site will feature the best fiction in his memory. We have this month's best submission here. The formatting is weird, but otherwise it is so realistic, it almost seems like Wyatt typed it himself. It was submitted anonymously. If one of u can take credit for it, please let us know.
Wyatt always said, every story is true somewhere. May it be true now, especially for the stories u write. Because if it is, as long as u remember him, maybe he is alive somewhere, and maybe he will return to us.

In This Month's FergLetter:
Coverage of the NAPPANEE INCIDENT
And Contributions By: Sureshkumar Prabatha. "Our hearts go out to all the residents of Nappanee, and to all those affected." Vince Cortez. "I'm both sad and proud to say, the Freedom Engineering Research Group was in the vanguard of the response to the Nappanee incident. In fact, we got attacked first." Karl Scribner. "Is it so hard to believe, terrorists have found refuge in Corsica and Sicily, alongside God-The-Father-fearing European Union citizens - who are every bit as anarchy-loving as they are? " |
After the Nappanee Incident, there's really not much else to say this month.

In This Month's FergLetter: SPANKER 4 AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF EARTH The CHICAGO CITY TOWER ATTACK - What's Next? The SUPERHUMAN FILES - Focus on Chicago And Contributions By: Sureshkumar Prabatha. "Spanker 3 was supposedly on Earth eight centuries ago. It destabilized three major centers of civilization, and led to the rise of the Mongol Empire." Vince Cortez. "It seems the aliens have been interacting with Earth since the Roman Empire. Zenobia taught them a lesson." Karl Scribner. "Yes, there are terrorists, and there are alien invasions, but sometimes you really can blame it on the local loonies." |

HUMANS OF THE EARTH! We Are In Control! Read Our Important Announcement Here! |
There. We got the public service announcement out of the way. The Jellyfish are making every web site on Earth put that announcement up. Now, I think I'm going to hole up someplace remote. (signed) Karl Scribner |

Hello, my human, superhuman, and non-human allies! You can call me the Powernaut.
Last month, this kindly web provider had a public service announcement from our planet's guests the Jellyfish. This month, they're letting me speak.
I'm here to report, the stories of reality storms are true. Our universe seems safe for now, but the storms are raging outside. I know of refugee movements from two other universes to our own. Like any good citizen would, I've taken on the task to see them settled peacefully.
Just like trees grow after a forest fire, superhumans rise up after a reality shift. Like any good citizen would, I've taken on the task to help keep us all safe from the bad ones.
The reality shifts are coming faster now, and our shields may not hold. Allies of mine are researching how to calm these down, and minimize their effect upon our reality. If you wake up one morning, and the world is different... we did our best to give you a soft landing.
And all of you in the Power Patrol have helped. We can all fight for our reality, just by liking it. You can sign up for the Power Patrol here!
I've told you all you really need to know right here. But I don't wish to hide anything from you, my allies. I'll be making my full records public soon. And I'll let you give responses and share them with the world, just like the Powernaut discussion board used to.
If all goes well, you'll hear more from me. God Save the Earth!
(signed) the Powernaut

I want my real history back! Do you know what else is scary? History might change again, as long as the reality shifts continue. I've driven reality shifts before, so history might be depending on me this time. Let's hope I don't $#@! up. A Message from the Villain. My old villains are all missing or underground, just like most of the world's heroes are. But there's a new one, and he has a message for us. A Message from the Rivals.
