Every time I walk by my boss’s office he’s studying the Necronomicon. Creepy. One day, I’m passing him in the hall when he thrusts his hand toward me, veins popping out on the starkly stretched skin of his fingers. Red lightning crackles from his flesh and I drop to my knees and feel him invading my mind. “You WILL climb the corporate ladder, Kent. You WILL suffer from premature male patterned baldness, lack of vitamin D, and erectile dysfunction.” I’m screaming like Dameron Poe getting Dark Side tortured by that bastard Kylo Ren (how the hell are you gonna stab Han Solo, motha ducka), when my eReader drops out of my pocket, open to Echo. Magic flash. Legolas swings by the window on a flying eagle and shoots me in the chest with an arrow. I see that the tip of it has a syringe that’s labeled “MANLY JEDI.” Suddenly my childhood dreams come true; I’m yoked with an eight pack, I’m wielding a green lightsaber, and I’m parrying my boss’s evil red lightning with it. He’s stumbling back and calling for his minions. I crash out the window in a Bruce Willis-worthy leap, slam down onto the back of a T-65 X-wing starfighter, and make my escape. The slipstream ruffles my hair and my lips peel back in a mile-wide grin.

Great images!
Just begs for good manga treatment!!
Nice to see the Elves getting on so well with The Jedi; no stupid turf wars in the battle against the Dark Lords of The Corporate (Sauron was pushed out in an aggressive take-over, too much of a wuss by their standards)

Haha Thank You! I never could get by the right to left reading of manga, but I do enjoy some anime. And I wonder who would win, elves or jedi…

I think they might step to one side and let the Dark Elves and Dark Jedi settle that matter; while the rest amble off to a tavern, swap tall tales and inappropriate jokes

Possibly! Elves and jedi though…seem to be a stuck up bunch despite the asskicking! 🙂

I suspect they have secret locations where they let their hair down (not so easy with a Jedi), a little ice-hockey, a little who can draw the best Jabba the Hutt and an Orc getting it on, etc…y’know harmless stuff.😉

Hahaha! Gross! You just created a new genre of fetishists! But it may just be worth it for the laughs…

I’ll leave it up to the graphic novel writers and artists to take up the challenge.
