My idea is to do a comic book about three different Victorian era explorers. It is a team book which consists of a kung fu climbing expert, the world's best (and worst) gambler, and a mad scientist (in the vein of the famous 19th century inventor Nikola Tesla). There is also a fourth member who is a kind of bodyguard/consultant for the group, he goes by the moniker "the butcher" and is extremely violent, but also a very quiet individual as he has so far refused to speak on any occasion. The team is for the most part incredibly dysfunctional as the mad scientist is completely insane and the gambler is a self destructive addict and hopeless drunk. The climber is the youngest the group and has no obvious or overt personal faults except that he is frequently absent as he devotes much of his time to his study of meditation and quiet self improvement. The first issue is a introduction and consists of a adventure against one of their more dangerous rivals, Martin Van Buren, the 8th president of the United states, and the terror of his army of flesh eating robots.
