This comic takes place in a run down section of New York City where Alex and his group of friends live. The gang is good at heart, but they are responsible for alot of the graffiti and petty thefts and are looked at like 'thugs' in the neighborhood. This all changes when they try to rob a stern and mysterious man known only as 'Preacher' and find themsleves all knocked out in a matter of minutes. They wake up in a church parsonage and 'Preacher' tells them his testimony about how he became a Christian after being a notorious street fighter and gang leader. Many of them, including Alex, are so moved by this that they become Christians too and change their gang symbol to a cross. 'Preacher' also enrolls them in a school, where they meet Trevor, who later becomes the brains of the operation. At church they meet the beautiful Christine, a songstress who has inner sadness. Eventually the community begins to welcome Alex's gang because of their posotive impact. But it isnt long before there is talk in the neighbor hood of a new violent gang moving in and guns, drugs, and prostitution begin to again darken the community. **Comic 1: The former gang and how they change **Comic 2: Their comical struggles while attending school and church and how the community comes to trust them. **Comic 3: The new gang arrives. This comic will deal with alot of issues that effect teens such as: Self Image, Violence, Sex, Drugs, and moral Relativism. Its going to be mostly humorous, but there will be some deeper messages from time to time also. ~~ Summary/ story type thing by: Daniel If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions you can e-mail either Daniel or myself any time.
