World of Maenza: Online Issue #19

Welcome to a new year in the APA. Let's get right to it.

• First off, I have a pair of all-new Lodestone stories on the Victoria fiction page. The first is called "The Parent Trap"! The second is called "Broadcast News"!

• To go with the story, I fired up the old HeroMachine and cranked out images of Assault and Battery, two villains from Charles Brown's Tradewinds tales that I borrowed for the recent Lodestone adventure. They can be accessed from the Victoria Villains page. Hopefully they will help to put images in the readers' minds of what these guys look like. And, hopefully, I did Charles' creations justice.

• The story and the villain team-up was something Charles and I discussed back in the days of the paper Times. I'm happy to finally get to the point to tell the story, even if it is almost a decade later. The best laid plans of mice and men...
