Swappernettersâ„¢ is an urban fantasy adventure tale set in an alternate history / bad future of The Gerosha Chroniclesâ„¢ in Dozerfleet Comicsâ„¢; blending elements of political thriller, cyberpunk, "dungeon" punk, and comic book fantasy. Inspirations include Marvel Comics, SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog, Batman Beyond, real-world political events, and parkour-heavy games such as Dying Light and Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

Yes, I am continuing development on this story. However, most of its development has been sidelined for the time being, to focus on Ciem: Inferno, also part of The Gerosha Chronicles but set 15 years prior to the events in this image.

Update: The long version of this story has been moved to DeviantArt.

TL;DR version: It's late August. Tabby and Jordan haven't seen each other in quite some time. The world is a darker, more dystopian place. They're on a date and on a mission to take back their homes from the Icy Finger's puppet government, the Chrome Kite. A friend in the park is in trouble. They must now decide how to save that friend's life.

Tabby's abilities make her a not-quite Spider-Girl, but more powerful than Faith Connors wannabe, a super athlete urban ninja who can also cause temporary paralysis with an energy beam from her hands. And she can run on air; but heats up when she does enough to almost create a plasma shield around herself. (Her power donor, Mapacha del Fuego, was able to do all of this and more, but divided her powers amongst Tabby and two of her friends.)

She not only wants to destroy the "Tug", which keeps Extirpon and the Gray Champion permanently in exile; but also to destroy the new evil regime and rescue her mother from prison. She herself was made a political prisoner, and spent three years in juvie before being abducted and left for dead in a virtual zombie land. To say she harbors a grudge might be an understatement.

Jordan doesn't have powers; but shouldn't be underestimated. Charlie, who's in trouble, can dance really well; but can't run very fast. The Mercury Troopers ("Hgs", pronounced "hogs") and the monster Sicklesaw are closing in. Time to rescue and relay.
=====================================================================
At any rate, I hope you enjoyed the image and the attached story. Here's hoping it makes a good calendar entry.

PS: What's with all the haters?
