"Welcome to Philly"

Philadelphia. The home of Ben Franklin, the Liberty Bell, Rocky, Dr. J, the Broadstreet Bullies, delicious cream cheese and now the world's greatest crime fighting archer himself! My pal Bill has been trying to get me to move down for over a year now. He lives here with his lady friend, doing real well as a big shot software developer for his own company, Goliath. He tried to teach me coding but it didn't take. Besides, someone cool once said "A man's gotta have a code" not a man has to write code. But if this crimefighter-for-hire gig doesn't pan out then learning to nerd isn't a terrible fallback plan. Plus my old mentor, Jacques, set himself up here nicely ages ago, running his own thriving business empire and establishing himself as a true pillar of the community. Good on him. He left behind the unscrupulous world of carnivals and crime and found the straight and narrow, and it paid off, literally. Just like I left behind the midwest and the orphanage and that same life and more recently the Big Apple and a bad breakup. But I digress. Plus I get to see Tash more often. I am not sure what's going on with us. I am definitely in to her, but she's hard to read. And then there's that other guy down in D.C. she hangs out with. What's their connection anyway? Sure he may be cool and ride a motorcycle and he's all "enhanced" with a cybernetic arm and well, he doesn't seem to age, but that has to get old. Yes he's a former war hero that was Cap's number two (hehe, number two) and I am just a former carny kid who lives above a cheesesteak shop, but still, I stop bad guys with trick arrows. I mean, how much cooler does it get?

Let's just say the timing was right for a move. Crime in the so called City of Brotherly Love is on the rise. Costumed baddies are springing up all around and if you read the fishwraps, a violent gangwar is playing out in the city's darkest alleys. The cops need a hand. The people need help. This city needs a hero. That's where I fit in. They call me Hawkeye...and sometimes Hawk Guy,..actually way too often and I am not really sure why, it's HAWK-EYE damnit! And I am DECLARING this town's INDEPENDENCE from evil. - Clint Barton

"There Must Be Something in the Water"

Something fishy is going on in the Schuykill River. Two coal companies robbed in the night of their payrolls down in Minersville last week, the only clues left behind were slippery wet prints and a half-devoured muskellunge, then a string of break-ins at the riverside business district over in Conshy days later, and worse - the cut up bodies of suspected gangsters keep washing ashore all along the metropolis Philadelphia riverbanks. The common thread: a wave of shark sightings in those areas! A River Shark..what the...!?! Now the Annual Dragon Boat Festival faces cancellation over fear that there's a real monster below the surface. The papers are having a field day. Top Detective Gloria Irving has her hands full with an an undermanned task force and an over-sized organized crime investigation which means she can't be bothered by these crazy land shark theories, so she enlists the services of the city's newest resident crimefighter - The Hawk Guy (Correction: it's H-A-W-K-E-Y-E) to get to the bottom of this river crime crisis. Clint's old mentor, Jacques Duquense (formerly known as The Swordsman), who is now a popular business leader in the city, has volunteered some of his"best" men to aid Clint in the hunt and capture of the creature terrorizing the waterways and the upcoming boat race Duquesne Dry-Cleaning is the chief sponsor for. These helpers turn out to be fellow former carnival acts like Clint, but they aren't like him at all he'll soon discover. The Great Gambonnos have ulterior motives for finding and terminating this shark menace before the police do. Can Clint keep these shady acrobats from flying off the handle? Will Hawkeye get to show off his net arrow fishing prowess? Or will Tiger Shark put the bite on our hero's big Philly debut?

Special Message from AOM: Don't forget to download the HAWKi app (\*developed by Goliath Software\*) on your favorite smart device. It's like Uber, but for a hero. A hero that may in fact take an Uber to get to your location of rescue. Are we missing a cross-promotional revenue stream here?

"The City of Brotherly Blood"

Nos4@U, Philly's own best selling vampire hip hop recording artist, is the prime suspect in a string of missing persons cases. The common thread - the lost souls all attended concerts during the recent East Coast tour promoting his monster hit album "FANG SHUI". In response to constant hassle from authorities, Nos has publicly proclaimed his innocence (Sample lyrics from his latest jam "My Bite is Nice" that just dropped on spiderfy: "Best check my dental records yoyos, and go check yoself paranormal po-pos, always profilin' not just cuz I'm black but cuz I'm a bat") and personally pleaded his case to the town's newest resident heroguy-for-hire. "Those fools got it all wrong. Don't they know I'm a vegan? I only suck on tofu blood these days. I got my own brand and everything. DripSoy, it's bloody delicious! Will you help me, Purple Arrow?"

Now with all eyez on them and only 24 hours before Detective Irving's special task force serves the arrest warrant, Clint (It's Hawkeye!) and Nos must dig deep to get to the bottom of a dark conspiracy dating back centuries in order to prove a vampire's innocence. The secret history of the city of brotherly love comes unearthed and it...sucks!
