  • 9. The Green-Eyed Monster – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    I was at my parent’s house recently, looking through my old family photo album. Most of the pictures from my youth are in Ladoga; the city has changed a lot in the past 20 years or so and many of the backdrops in the pictures have ceased to exist. The playground from pictures of me…

  • 8. On Dancing – from Rebel Max’s Journal

    It happens at various times throughout the year that the city’s East and West Sides throw aside petty division in order to unite as Ladogans. Sporting events generally inspire unity all around the city as the eponymous high school has students from both sides of town (excluding those on the outskirts of the east and…

  • Old Man Young and the Bronx Avenger Issue 1 Super-Sized One-Shot

    The Flashback Detective Paul Young is not the athletic man he once was. Now approaching fifty-five, he is in better shape than most, but he embarrassed himself at the annual softball game between the Knoxville Police and Fire Departments after he missed his first two pitches and threw his back out on the third, which…

  • 7. Importance of Voting/The First Three – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    North Carolina was a Jim Crow state, until it wasn’t; and then, in order to change its voting laws, the state’s legislators were forced to take it up with the Justice Department, until they didn’t have to anymore. Many said this would lead to unfettered voter suppression; old people, minorities, and poor people would face…

  • 6. The Reverend Dr. and The City Manager – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    The Baptist Church on Pewter Dr. in Ladoga is by far the biggest building in the area, despite Crowder Estates, the private community blanketed in secrecy by the canopy of full trees that make the neighborhood feel as exclusive as it is. There is a big gate at the entrance to Crowder Estates that is…

  • 5. On Insanity – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    I finally took Wes up on his dinner offer. He was happy that I was having success finding interesting stories and invited me to his house for a dinner party. He lived in the vicinity of the Pisgah Forest, around Asheville, with his girlfriend, Valeria, and he said that he was happy to meet my…

  • Rebel Max in the 21st and Half Century – Issue 1 – One-Shot

    By the year 2056, the coastal US will be uninhabitable by humans. The east coast will be ravaged by hurricanes and tropical storms that rain buckets and throws the ocean against coastal towns. Most lighthouses will be destroyed multiple times over and will eventually be forgotten as populations on the east coast move inland and…

  • 4. Reinforcing Collapsible Furniture – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    The first time I got a chance to really talk to Cassandra Taylor, she was sitting in her garage with the door open. She had a knife in her hand; it had a thick blade with mean serrations along the sharp side and came to a pointed tip. She was stripping a piece of wood…

  • 3. Doomsday Bank – from Rebel Max’s Journal

    I skipped church this past Sunday. I feel guilty because instead of going, I told a friend that I would drive to the mountains to see the real salvation he said was stored away in multiple cellars connected by tunnels he’d built under his house. This was an old friend, Job Burke, that I’d known…
