Force Six, The Annihilators Photo-graphic comic series by Drew Spence from The Dynamic Universe The Force Six, Annihilators are a team of specialists assembled to bring order to a chaotic universe. Something went wrong when right became their final choice. See the transformation from Renegade outcasts to Legends. They are Force Six, The Annihilators - a futuristic assassination squad. “Heroes will come and evil will die screaming.”
It's a narrative that follows the exploits of an artificially enhanced assassination squad and attempts to shed light on their controversial legacy. I call issues- episodes and combine the major story arcs into collections. I started drawing The Annihilators when I was in grade school and every few years, I would revisit the series and draw another book or two. By the time I reached my twenties, I had a covered a pretty large section of their lives and started to consider what it would be like to have the team members continue after the super-team broke apart. Now, I'm recreating that story from the beginning and sharing a huge part of my creative passion.
Enter the Annihilator Universe- where humankind has touched the stars and reshaped a thousand worlds. They live in the past and they live in the future. They are the inheritors of our yesterdays and the architects of our tomorrows. There will be justice and there will be vengeance. And in the end, there will be Annihilation. Welcome.
The Destruction of Redder Coltrane is the first story arc from Season I of Force Six, The Annihilators.

They are usually named after the major story arc or plot point. The members take action in smaller numbers as the central story pits Jackie-5, Kojin and Fire Destiny against the outlaw Redder Coltrane and his criminal gang. This story takes place early in their careers and the Force Six has not yet grown into the formidable killing machine.
Several story points to note: 1) The plan goes according to plan as the strategy works flawlessly in drawing out Redder Coltrane. 2) Major story events are hinted at and foreshadowed during an early conversation between Fire Destiny and Kojin. As they compare their strengths and weaknesses, each point and counter-point occurs further along in the story arc. 3) The Annihilators have a tendency to cross-reference each other, showing their closeness and family bonding. 4) The episodes were originally released in close to reverse order. The first story shown, where the Annihilators arrive at their aquatic base, was actually the season finale. Readers were purposely kept in the dark about the full Force Six team membership and their enhanced abilities.
Who are the Force Six members?

"Force Six, The Annihilators is meant to combine all the things that I’m passionate about. That’s why I made the world so open-ended. Almost anything can happen. My story-telling style has the rules set in place, but we have lots of creative and visual freedom. I create many types of music so I added a soundtrack and I will be venturing into video and other 3D forms to continue telling stories." - Drew Spence (Comic Book Bin Interview 2017)
