A sophomore at Sagebrush High, Luis is the younger brother of Nate Aguila, a football star who also graduated from Sagebrush, and now plays football at Western State University. Luis is a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair after suffering nerve damage from an incident provoked by use of illicit drugs.
A senior at Sagebrush High, Terrence is a former gang member who, inspired by James Douglas’ sacrifice, decided to change his life and volunteer his time as a program coordinator at the Utopian Foundation’s James Douglas Center for Conflict Resolution.
To inject a little bit of reality into the comic world (reality? who needs it in comics?): Nevada law requires parental notification, unless a judge signs off on it. Dunno if the Douglas Center would have attorneys available to file the petitions, or if Planned Parenthood does, but it would definitely be an interesting situation. Really looking forward to see what you did with it, PJ. (If it’s realistic, awesome. If it’s not, it’s still awesome — not everything must be completely realistic in order to tell a good story.)
"The Utopian: Foundation" is a serial comic strip about young people living in a Southwestern U.S. city whose lives are all connected – and shaped – by the influence of "The Utopian," the idyllic alter-ego of James Douglas, who gave his life to help end corruption and what he perceived as "evil" at Sagebrush High School.

Good thing it’s only comics! 😉
