Conversion Experience: Val Velocity

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #4
Dark Horse; September 2013; $3.99

This mini-series is coming to an end. I am a little sad, as I think there are some great story lines that could run for quite a while. I guess that's how it goes, though. For this installment I would like to present Val Velocity.

     Val Velocity is the misguided, out of control leader of the New Killjoys. He's convinced that bravado, booze and guns are all that's needed to destroy BLI and claim Battery City as his own. No doubt, he and the poor fools he has recruited will all die screaming.

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #2

Dark Horse; July 2013; 3.99

Blue is a pleasure android who resides in Battery City, which is a totalitarian state controlled by BL/ind (Better Living Industries). Blue lives with Red, another pleasure android. Red, who has red hair and lips, is hopelessly addicted to a kind of battery pack that provides energy while destroying the ability to recharge normally. Red cannot work as a result, so Blue has to do all that she can to help.

     In this issue we see Blue battling the robotic bureaucracy of the robot social services. Despite her heroic efforts, in the end Blue is told that Red cannot qualify for a new battery pack. Because she is an outdated model, Red will be converted into a communications satellite and launched into orbit.

     Today's conversion features Fate Accelerated.
