I guess it's about time I put an update on the site but i assure you it was all worth the wait. A new Chapter to Brother's Keeper? NO, but that is in the works. Having a second baby slowed me down but i assure you that my absence has had nothing to do with me not working on some awesome Dio goodness for all my pals here in the Joe world.

This Chapter works in two ways. One as a one shot that I've labeled Violentfix, Special Missions # 1 but also and more importantly as a part of a group Dio project on the TriState Vipers Forum. To follow are chapters from other members that in the end will work into one story.

PS: For all the fans of my timeline, you may be interested in knowing that this happily fits in as a Brother's Keeper, Chapter ZERO.

So without further ado, i give to you...

Violentfix, Special Missions # 1! or "Cobra's Wrath Unleashed!" Volume #1

I was just thinking yesterday how much I'd like to see a new dio-story from you. Merry Xmas to me, I guess! :P

Very cool as always - the story was great, but I am always amazed with your camera techniques & lighting. Like Justin, you have a knack for bringing these toys to life. I liked the whole concept of this story and your execution was flawless as always.

The only thing that bugged me a little was that Red Star's massive head looked weird next to comic-pack Stalker - but that's to be expected :P

Can't wait for the next "Brother's Keeper" chapter!

Wild. Loved that "Last Request" bit.


Exceptional job!

I enjoyed the heck out of that. I love how you redid General Mayhem, and backgorund and action shots were terrific. kudos

Now that was a lot of fun!

Plenty of action and intrigue. And your sets continue to amaze me. They really are completely immersive. Even in a relatively short and self-contained adventure like this, your world seems expansive.

Great to see something new from you, Looking forward to more.

It took me a long time to use a comic pack figure in a Dio for just that reason but something about RedStar's head and Stalker just seemed to work.

Stalker, trim black guy / RedStar, husky Russian guy = It just seemed to work.

And I must say that I absolutly love this Stalker figure and after writing this I'm so sad that I've never used him before in my stories. It was a blast to write.

Brother's Keeper, I just pulled myself off the floor from prone position after taking pictures for the last three hours. I'll be lucky if I got ten good shots. In other words, it's coming along but don't hold your breath. I'm praying for a New Years Eve release but I think I need to pray hard.

I must say that I was pretty impressed with the sets in your Dio as well. Really good stuff.

Glad you feel it fits so well. It was massive, if I had to guess, 8ft by 12ft. If you consider the depth of some of the shots it starts to really become apparent, just how big these sets are. I just had a friend over tonight who I had to talk through stepping only on safe parts of the current Brother's Keeper set. Just look at the size of the Terror Drome and also consider that there's four feet of tarmac that isn't seen in this pic.

Here's a couple more for fun,

Very appreciated. This story was in my head for a good long time before I had a chance to get it out. With all the focus on Brother's Keeper these last couple of year (God I can't believe it's been years).

Cool stuff on this first issue!
