Stephen took a hiatus from MAGELLAN, but it'll be starting new updates again on Oct. 6th. Those of us already familiar with Magellan can follow it there–or if you're not familiar with it, I suggest reading here at Drunk Duck's Magellan where Stephen's running previous strips EVERY SINGLE DAY, to get people up to speed…check it out.
This HOODOO cast page will give you a lot of background on the character—more than has been revealed in Magellan thus far–and links to every single one of her appearances.
MAGELLAN focuses on the cadets at Magellan Academy, especially the nonpowered Kaycee Jones, but it's a huge organization, like the Legion, the X-Men, the Avengers. There's an “epic” feel to it, and a complex history. Those interested can find out more at http://magellanverse.com/?p=141 ]MAGELLAN HISTORY.
Mindmistress has sort of a “visiting professor” status there, and she's the tutor of superintelligent cadet Rochelle Kwan, as seen in BUYING THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN as Mindmistress and Rochelle fight a possessed Epoch, Hoodoo's teammate on Force Magellan and the Superman/Captain Marvel of their world. (Mindmistress also met with Force Magellan in her current storyline here and here, where Hoodoo plays a pivotal part in the story.)
It's very, very fitting that a member of Magellan would take part in a transdimensional superhero team-up, and she completes our main group. (Although we'll have cameos of some of the old group, and an extended cameo from Dasien….as well as cameos of characters never seen before here, including some very, very familiar with some Drunk Duck readers.) Like Dasien, Stephen chose to introduce a new costume for Hoodoo before it was introduced in Hoodoo's original comic, Magellan.
We'll be opening a new web site soon here on Drunk Duck (and elsewhere) for CROSSOVERKILL, (and we'll announce its location here very soon) and starting the story by mid-October.
hmmm... maybe just see whose comics you are reading currently to see who may be in the crossover, of course i'd need to find out what comics you were reading when this crossover stops to test that, or have some patients. too bad i am not a doctor (ya, ya, corny joke).

If you'd like, be my guest.
Or maybe we can just get [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw]these guys[/url].
Well, this team could actually work like a Force Magellan ;-):
- Captain Perfect is like Ranger Bill
- Yuuki wields valkyrie-powers granted by Norse gods where Hierophant can access powers from Greek gods
- Energize is the more powerful variant of Nitroman
- Fusion is "Good-Girl" (compared to Good-Guy in Magellanverse) :-P
- Mm - well she's the docent of Rochelle. Nuff said :-)
- Majestic Knight - not sure, maybe best compared with Maverick (no superpower, but highly trained in combat and very capable of using technology)
Annd.. who will be their foe? Surt from the Yuuki-verse, or maybe the less known Stormfront from the HU-verse?
Can't wait for 10-10-10!
The one the kids all played tricks on when she's not looking, no doubt.*Grin*
We've sort of gameplayed all sorts of interactions between the crew as it stands now. MM and Hoodoo actually are okay with each other, each respecting each other's expertise in their particular fields. As for the rest...you'll see.
Side note: this grouping is a little more ethnically diverse than the previous one. All but one of the Crossoverlord crew were from their reality's America (Ant was Danish) and were Caucasian, whereas our present grouping, Hoodoo's from China and Yuuki's from Japan. (Fusion was a Cambodian orphan but she was adopted and raised by American parents since age two, so she's very very delightfully American in outlook.) Of course, they're all from different realities, so I suppose you can't get much more diverse than that. Just sayin'.
Apologies to Creedence Clearwater Revival...
I can remember the fourth of July, runnin' through the backwoods bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkn', chasing down a hoodoo there,
Chasing down a hoodoo there.
Born on the Bayou...
why do i get the feeling that most of the team here is going to make mindmistress want to scream?
yuuki and hoodoo are magic.
knight was/is king arthur
fusion is webcomic aware... in a sense.
and captain perfect is a brother to the guy who FALCON PUNCHed himself through reality.
and energize... yellow?
Ha, I knew it!
So, there is smartest woman in the universe in one team with batman-esque character of mystical origin. There is egdy and serious hero hunted by his own people and happy, optimistic girl - they have very similiar powers. There is funny boy-turned-into-girl Valkyrie and mysterious magic user. And there's Captain Perfect. I cannot wait to see how they're gonna get along.
With apologies to Paul Simon and his "Love Me Like A Rock"...
(Ooohh..)
When I was a little boy (when I was just a boy)
And the Devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)
I'd say "Now Hoodoo, (Hoo-Doo)
Hoodoo you think you're fooling?" (when I was just a boy)
a magic user the last team had a lack of magic users
so team is complete
-two strong long range energy heroes(fusion, energize)
-one heavy hitter(yukii)
-jack of all trades (cap perfect)
- the brain of the team
-majestic knight (batman )
-one magic user (hoodoo)
the last team had a lot of super muscle strong heroes
this one seems to have less heavy hitters but more
specialize heroes with more gadgeterss ,magic users
and strong energy users heroes

Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag, then. Yes, if you can find the Crossoverkill Drunk Duck page, go ahead and add it to your RSS or Faves list.

I think that by now, Mindmistress has resigned herself to being the summer camp counselor for troubled superheroes. :)

Go do that voodoo that you do, Hoodoo.

Although Energize is also a heavy hitter, and Yuuki is also a magic user...

Aha! I knew it was going to be a Magellan character! Although, out of all the characters I thought it was going to be, Hoodoo was not one of them...
