New for February in the Forte Universe

Got some new goodies up at the Forte Universe for y'all.

First, there's some new art on the Forte 2000 Gallery. Check out Dyna Girl and Nightsable shots from newcomer Jason Pyke. And there's a Seahawk from illustrator Andy Fish, and a stylish Nightsable by his partner, Veronica Hebard. A couple of gallery favorites return as the dynamic T.G. Sangalang gives us his rendition of Moondancer, and the always-stunning David Enciso brings a Forte 2000 villain to life...Masterpiece (whose first and only appearance thus far has been in the story "Stakeout". Based on this look, I think we need to see more of her (though there's not a whole lot more of her to see...).

And we have tales. On the Forte 2000 Adventures page, we jump back in time (like it's 1999) to a pre-F2K story involving Seahawk. We meet him here for the first time, get to know his life, and get a look at what was happening in Seattle just a few months before the fated new foursome joined up and re-started the Forte legend. "Seahawk: Number Zero (Part One)" begins the tale of Seahawk's first adventure, one that lays the groundwork the latter-day Forte tales to come.

Over at the Forte Expanded Universe page, there's an exciting multi-part milestone tale, written by Forte founder K.C. Ryan himself, called "The Last Hornet Story". In the era of the Forte world before there was a Forte, a mysterious and driven heroine with an amazing family legacy hunted a sinister, dark semi-government agency called CHESS. Now, over two decades later, the final showdown between Hornet and CHESS reaches its explosive conclusion in the nation's capital, with ramifications that could spell the end of Forte...and the downfall of a the greatest country on Earth. Do not miss this dramatic, star-studded epic steeped in Forte-world history, and heralding the end of one of its first heroine's saga.

More to come. Keep checking the 'Verse!
