Well, last month I cashed in points over in Age of Marvels and launched a line-wide event, [B]CIVIL WAR[/B]. It seemed to be fairly well received and to generate excitement, so I thought to myself, why not do the same here?!
So I’m going to make a big twenty-point cash-in from [COLOR="#008000"][B]GREEN LANTERN[/B][/COLOR] for the [B]“Crisis on Infinite Points”[/B] reward! This will result in a [I]“line-wide event”[/I] book where plotters of other books have the option of tying in!
This will be our first line-wide event since the relaunch and I’m hoping it will be a special one. I’d like to invite all plotters to participate.
Get ready, because there is a conflict right now in a galaxy not so far away at all. Prepare for…
[CENTER][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/age-of-marvels-new-dawn/images/d/d3/Starro_Wars_Logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20200507192037[/img][/CENTER]
This is the event that [COLOR="#008000"][COLOR="#008000"]GREEN LANTERN[/COLOR][/COLOR] has been building up to for a year, and if you’ve been following that book then you know what’s been happening!
[B]STARRO,[/B] the alien lifeform that looks like an enormous starfish, asexually reproduces countless spores that attach themselves to sentient lifeforms. Once a spore is on you, Starro controls your mind! Starro has used this ability to take control of TWELEVE ENTIRE GALAXIES, turning their denizens into a massive invasion force the likes of which the universe has never seen! The Green Lantern HQ world of Oa has already fallen before this swarm, and Starro’s next target… is Earth!
Yet Starro systematically weakens its targets before it invades by using spores to take control of a planet’s greatest champions, turning them against the planet they defended! And Starro has done that… to us! One or more of your heroes have been taken over by Starro. Can their friends stop them? Can Earth survive?

[B]TL;DR: [/B] Starro has taken control of one or more of your characters and turned them against their friends and against Earth! What’s going to happen????
[B][COLOR="#0000FF"]Rules[/COLOR][/B]
The story will be told in a [B]Four-Issue Event Miniseries[/B] called [B]STARRO WARS[/B] plotted by me. This will be where the primary story unfolds. During that time, all other plotters are invited to tie-in with their own books. This can be accomplished in the following ways:
(1) [B]Directly.[/B] Your book’s monthly solicitation can tie-in to the events of Starro Wars. The solicitation would look like “BOOK X #18 *Starro Wars Tie-In*.” All plotters who do this will get one extra reward point for their book.
(2) [B]Stand Alone Tie-Ins[/B]. If you don’t want to interrupt the flow of your normal series, you can do a tie-in mini-series (or one shot) of your own. It would be a separate, and second, solicitation submitted using characters you already control and would look like “STARRO WARS: CHARACTER/TEAM X #1.” Normal miniseries rules will apply, with the book able to independently earn reward points through the normal ways. Those points will go to the normal title when the miniseries ends (or, if it's a one-shot, the next month).
(3) You can do [B]both[/B] those things.
Of course, you don’t have to participate at all if you don’t want to. But, c’mon, it’ll be fun!
You probably know how real DC tie-ins work, and I encourage creativity, but remember that the main story will unfold in the [B]STARRO WARS[/B] book itself. So don’t kill Starro or end the war in your tie-in but instead focus on what your characters are doing in the midst of this event. Best practice would be to run a brief pitch by me for proposed stories so we can coordinate continuity!
I hope everyone is looking forward to and will get hyped for this!

I think I can work out a tie-in for Vic. It may not be exactly a crossover, but I think I can work something out. Plan on a one or two issue mini for Question, details forthcoming.
-
Four of my five main characters are tied to larger characters written by others. However I do have one section of my cast (pretty much all East Asian characters) that I might have something with. Maybe Yao Fei can die while the Great Ten battle Starheart infectees. Then Shado takes up the mantle.
Given the population, China & India would be prime targets for Starheart. Since it's four issue mini-series, I am guessing that means it'll be ongoing during July, August, September, and October?
