Weekend Briefing: Summer releases
Welcome back, agents. This week is a review of the summer releases- and a sneakpeak of what is in store August.
June 1: At Summer's End
The world is reeling from the near-apocalypse of the Dystopian Takeover
that was only just averted by a motley crew of teenagers, including
Violet Strokes.
Violet now finds herself recruited by a special opps team- Code Name Peacemakers- to train to prevent future takeovers from ever happening along with some of the other teenage heroes. Which would be a lot easier if she weren't struggling to hide her emotional and physical wounds of the last takeover, or if everyone else on the team weren't spoiled rich kids (minus one mild-mannered superhuman named Tim).
It certainly doesn't help that one of the other teenagers on the team is her long-lost childhood friend- and the son of the villains of the Dystopian Takeover- Alexander Franklin III, who is insistent that they rekindle their friendship. On top of it all, every turn she takes, she seems run into another boy from her past- with what may be an even more sinister family legacy...
Somehow, though, Violet, Alex, and the rest of the team need to figure out how to work together to protect the world from itself. That is, if Violet can stop the takeover that is going on in her very mind...

July 4: Accidentally on the Run
Gabriel Cooper is just another cop on the NJPD- well, just another cop,
except with almost psychic instincts. When those instincts lead him onto
a bus to capture a hostile, he's exposed to a mysterious bomb. Still,
it seems like just another adventure he walked away from. Except that
suddenly, his instinct is becoming his primary sense to keep out of
trouble- and there is a lot of trouble.
Braelin Cunningham has no family, but she does have her best friend Gabe. She'll do whatever it takes to protect him from the mysterious League of Incredible Supermen. As long as Braelin gets to be by the side of her best friend and secret crush, she'll do it. Even if it means going on the run when more than the League get interested with Gabe's newfound abilities.
On the run together, it seems like no matter where they turn, danger is there. When it comes to having superpowers, apparently, you can run- but you can't hide.
