The Urban 30 Weekly Update!!! Season 4 - Week 16

Wow, so this week's... err... last week's Weekly Update is a little late...okay a lot late, but's only because I was so blown away by all the Urban 30 action (ACTION! ...sorry) that I had to take time to process it. Oh, and I got DC Universe Online, so yeah, that takes up a good 26 hours of my day. Moving on...

This week the team prepares to deal with Winters, but first they do what they need to get their minds ready. Drifter relaxes, Sonus goes to see his family, Gehenna goes on a date, and Elemental gets back to Nature. Hitman relaxes too, but he does it in his own way. And Engels, well, he doesn't get to relax... at all.


Here's the weekly rundown:  

Drifter - ...zZz...zZz...zZz...

Drifter catches up on some much needed rest, despite the restless dreams he keeps having. He wakes up at Sonus' apartment building, and finally gets something he's been dreaming of since he arrived in the U30's world... A shower.

Sonus - Not So Good To See Me?

After Leroy delivers the plant to Elemental, and a night with Felicia, he decides it's time for him to go see his family, even if it's just to make sure they are okay. Nothing could have prepared him for what he finds at his family's home.

Gehenna - Date Night

Gehenna gets back to the familiar parts of her life, and despite warnings from the immortal Desmond, she goes on a date with Marcus. She learns how the mind wipe has affected him, and enjoys her flirtatious reprieve from the stress of the team...

Elemental - Feed me Seymour

Terra is concerned about the Mayor's counselling sessions, grateful she was able to dodge the bullet herself. She is surprised to find a single plant on her balcony, and even more surprised by her reaction to the plant. Not to mention the plant's reaction to her...

Hitman - Can't Be Too Sure...

Hitman contemplates their new "friend" Drifter, and decides to slip a tracer on his uniform while he's sleeping, to be cautious. Heading back to his safehouse, he takes some time to revamp his battle gear, Taking it out for a test drive, he hears an unwanted announcement from The Resistance...

Engels - Tortured

Engels has been M.I.A. since the events of the Carnival, and he wakes up to find himself a prisoner of Dr. Ross, the alien Ruver in charge of the Fusion program. Ross isn't to impressed with Engels after he escaped with Gehenna and left Ross for dead. 'Tortured' couldn't be a better title...


So there it is, another great week, albeit slightly late. But I can make it up to you, I swear. Do you like the new U30 graphic at the top of the page? Well, you can now get your own Urban 30 T-shirt featuring that very graphic. You can get the shirt here. I know it's lame for a band member to wear his own t-shirt, but it's cool if a Spider-Man writer wears a Spidey shirt, right? Cause I ordered 3, so... Yea.


See ya next week....On time-ish!

The Urban 30 Weekly Update!!! Season 4 - Week 15

Happy New Year!!! The first week of 2011 is off and the resolutions have been stated and attempted. So that means it's Weekly Update time, and I really have a blast doing these, so I hope you enjoy reading them.


This week Elemental and Gehenna continue to piece their lives back together since the mind wipe, Terra questioning her reality and Sarina rediscovering hers. Sonus and Hitman go after the signal sent by Spire's suit, only to find... Drifter and Dr. Grimm?!?


Here's the weekly rundown:

Elemental - A Little Misdirection

Terra is still plagued by visions of the man from the Carnival, and is surprised to find out that there is almost no news coverage of the superhero threat that she finds herself so interested in. She finds out her husband, Mayor Winters, is encouraging not only the public to go for counseling in the wake of the events at the Carnival, but Terra as well.

Gehenna - Don't trouble trouble 'til trouble trouble you

Gehenna continues on her quest to find a way to de-Fusion the rest of her friends, and the search takes her back to Wonderland, where she encounters both Marcus and the immortal Desmond. Will he know of a way to help her or will she get the same answer she got from Mena?

Drifter - The Cavalry Arrives

Drifter's attempt to escape from Dr. Grimm's laboratory has hit a few snags, and he's left fighting for his life against Grimm's genebeasts. The events of the last few days have left him weakened, and there's no way he's getting out of this one alone... Good thing he isn't alone anymore...

Hitman - A New Challenger Appears!

Hitman and Sonus head to the source of the emergency signal and find an abandoned cat food factory, but appearances can be deceiving. Heading inside, they encounter an armed resistance, and Sonus heads into the midst of battle. Hitman finds his own, taking care of things as usual. He then comes face to face with Sonus and their new "friend"...

Sonus- When Life Deals You A Bad Hand, Get New Cards!

Sonus finds himself distracted by thoughts of his family during the mission that rescues Drifter, and they head back to Sonus's apartment building. While Drifter rests under supervision, Leroy has another encounter with Dispatch, where he finds him in an odd situation, and which leads to a new mission for Sonus.

Anyways, this week the Urban 30 deals with the team's failure at the Carnival, Sonus and Hitman deal with the reappearance of an old villain turned ally (turned villain?) and some troubling personal issues with the rest of the team.

Here's the weekly rundown:

Drifter - You Are Different, Like The Other...

After extensive testing by Dr. Grimm, Drifter learns how he came to be in DC, and whether or not he came alone. Drifter outlives his usefulness to Grimm, and tries to escape, looking for help from an outside source.

Sonus - The Unprofessionals

The Carnival revealed a lot of mysteries, with the reappearance of most of the remaining brainwashed members of the U30 and Vaidan's assassination attempt. After the failed mission, a power struggle breaks out between Sonus and Dispatch, until yet another problem surfaces.

Hitman - First Word, Cluster... Last Word...

During the U30's debriefing, Hitman recieves an emergency beacon from Spire's suit. Before he and Sonus can leave, Hitman confronts Vaidan.

Sonus - From One Mask To Another!

Sonus makes his way through the Carnival, and when the shooting starts he is surprised to find the bullets hitting him. When he realizes their true target, he jumps to the rescue... of the Mayor?!?

Drifter - Grimm Awakenings

Drifter wakes up as a captive, only to be kidnapped again by some kind of monster. Waking up in a lab, he meets the mad geneticist, Dr. Grimm, and witnesses a broadcast of the Carnival, showing him his first glance at the Urban 30...

There it is, what an action packed week! And next week is even crazier!!! Be sure to check it out daily at urban3zero.com!

The Urban 30 Weekly Update!!! Season 4 - Week 10

Hey Action News Team!!! Welcome to the first edition of the weekly update of the The Urban 30!!! While you can get your dose of the U30's adventures daily at urban3zero.com, I wanted to put out a Saturday edition compiling all the week's posts, an easy way to get caught up if you've missed anything. 


This week the U30 continues to piece the team back together in the brain washed city of Washington DC. Months ago Mayor Solomon Winters, AKA Aiho, the leader of the alien Ruver invasion, mind wiped the entire city and most of its heroes, creating a 'utopia' directly under his control. But things are starting to break down in the city, and the Mayor's 'utopia' isn't running as smoothly as he hoped.


Here's the weekly rundown:

Sonus - When One Door Closes

Drifter - First Encounter

Drifter tries to be the superhero he thinks he is after waking up with no memory in DC. While attempting to stop a bank robbery, he is attacked by an alien Ruver in disguise as a cop, and is forced to prove that he can be the hero he believes he is.

Gehenna - Intervention

When Gehenna was 'unlocked' by Engels, they both learned more than they expected about one another. Gehenna tries to help Engels deal with his recent relapse to alcoholism, but this might be a problem that Gehenna can't deal with alone.

Elemental - The Things We Do For Love

Terra, mind wiped and living with the Mayor as his wife, is growing restless cooped up in the Mayor's tower. With the Mayor's plan to run for Senate and eventually the presidency, the opportunity arises for Terra to help the Mayor's campaign by feeding the homeless. Sometimes things are never as simple as they start out to be...

Hitman - Bitter Friends, Bitter Enemies

Hitman's been on the go since he escaped from the Mayor's prison weeks ago, finding new allies and re-uniting the mind wiped members of the Urban 30. He starts to check out key figures of DC's organized crime world, where he discovers a clue to the whereabouts of his old friend and missing member of the U30.
