Priest, creator of such things as Quantum & Woody and one of the main revitalizers of the Black Panther, has been putting up new serialized superhero text fiction on the Kindle store, with the title 1999.  It's a universe he's been working on for a while now, and has gone the self-publishing route.  (Sadly, a lot of the comics creators of the 1980s can't get the time of day from modern editors.)

 

I've been helping him out with the pseudoscience, so I'm a bit biased, but what I've read so far (books 1-2, comprising the first 12 episodes) is pretty good, if generally on the dark side.

Holy crap. Both Q&W and his BP (new collection out recently, buy it!) stand as two of the greatest runs in the history of the medium. Spectacular to see him writing something again.

Trying to spread the word.  He's not very good at promoting himself in social media these days, as much as I nudge him to work on it.

Book 4, which features an article by me on the pseudoscience of 1999, is due out later this month.  Also, I was Inspired, and wrote up a simple roleplaying game to let you play one of the Gifted in the setting.  If you want to try playtesting it, PM me your preferred Google Drive address and I'll give you viewing privs.
