I had such a good time creating 100 Covers, I decided to go back in for another round to play with different stories. As time passed, some members departed, and new ones joined up, as “The Second 100 Covers” takes us through Covers #101 thru 200.
The great sea god Neptune attacks but when he’s defeated and reduced in age to a preteen, his attitude is much happier and his power is added to the team when “Kid Neptune” joins.
A few members take off on an adventure in time, only to come back much later than the reader thinks, as shape-shifting aliens took their place.
Granite, the son of Rockefeller takes his dad’s place when it’s believed he dies.
The Obsidian Pride, alien lion beings from a different dimension, invade earth. One of their own turns against the pride, saving the Battalion and the planet. Zaphir then joins the team and eventually falls in love with Svea, who is eventually killed.
But her soul rests in Valhalla, and Zaphir decides to invade the realm of the dead and bring her back! They succeed, and bring back Elof as well.
An alien healer named Vanir claims he can safely separate Mala from the Tor symbiote. We assume that she goes off to see the world once she’s free but in reality, Vanir merely imprisoned her while he took on the symbiote and became Vavator.
Matunaaga, son of Mataak, also joins the team.
A subplot runs through the entire set of covers, where an arms organization is plotting with Vanator to take over and a disillusioned Granite temporarily falls in with them.
When all’s said and done, there are enough heroes for two teams and we end on a happy note, with cover 200.
I have ruminated about a third volume called “The Last 100 Covers” which would be a big time jump going to the next generation and Covers #901 through 1,000. Sometimes it comes down to how badly the audience wants more and how big that audience is that creates the demand. Unfortunately, the different nature of the projects I do have not created a large enough fanbase to justify continuing them.
