‘The cosmic superhuman era of the Glenwood Franchise in 2028 to be the longest'

 

All worlds will collide!

"I just got everything copyrighted. I will be working hard to develop this era amazingly."  

The Glenwood Franchise has always been built on massive, compelling storytelling across multiple genres. That range is one of its greatest strengths: Glenwood has something for nearly every kind of reader, whether they are drawn to grounded drama, supernatural mystery, urban adventure, coming-of-age stories, or large-scale fantasy. At its center is the Glenwood Universe, a growing collection of interconnected stories where characters, locations, and major events can echo across different titles. With hundreds of characters already established and new settings continuing to emerge, the universe still feels like it is only beginning to reveal its full potential.

The rebooted Glenwood Franchise is very different from the classic Glenwood lore. The original franchise played more like a generational soap opera and was praised for its realism, following characters from childhood into early adulthood. Although those stories occasionally moved beyond Glenwood, the characters usually entered recognizable real-world environments. The reboot still references real places and sometimes takes readers beyond the central setting, but it has also created fictional towns, hidden histories, supernatural systems, and larger mythologies of its own. That mixture of realism and imagination gives each project room to develop a distinct identity while remaining connected to the larger universe. As I grow older, my creativity is changing with me, and I am more willing than ever to explore unfamiliar territory, test new genres, and tell stories that expand what Glenwood can become.

Since the 2023 reboot and the first published books of 2025, readers have entered a universe where one storyline can be supernatural, another can remain grounded in everyday reality, and both can still belong to the same continuity. That contrast has become part of the Glenwood identity. In 2028, the franchise will push that identity into its boldest territory yet by beginning the cosmic superhuman era. For the first time, individuals with extraordinary abilities will emerge from Dogtown, a rough urban community whose struggles, secrets, and survival instincts will shape the heroes and villains born there. Their powers may be cosmic in scale, but their lives will remain rooted in neighborhoods, families, friendships, rivalries, loss, ambition, and the pressure to become something greater than the world expects.

 

The cosmic superhuman era is already being mapped around characters who carry Cosmic DNA and abilities that can alter bodies, relationships, communities, and eventually the balance of the wider universe. However, this will not be a simple world of perfect heroes and obvious villains. Power will create choices, consequences, and fear. Some characters will hide what they can do because they want ordinary lives. Others will use their gifts to protect Dogtown, escape it, control it, or punish the people they believe failed them. Families will have to decide whether powers are a blessing, a danger, or a secret worth destroying. Institutions, criminals, and ambitious outsiders may see superhumans as protectors, weapons, celebrities, or threats. By placing those questions inside an urban, character-driven story, I want Glenwood’s version of the superhero genre to feel personal before it feels spectacular. The action can rise to a cosmic level, but the emotional stakes will begin at home.

Building the Era Through Discipline and Time

Progressing through this era will require more than a collection of exciting ideas. It will demand hard work, patience, and the willingness to develop each concept until it serves the larger story. Every power, origin, location, rivalry, and future conflict must be examined from several angles before it reaches the page. Creative energy can begin the process, but discipline will turn that energy into a believable universe. I will need to question whether every character has a meaningful purpose, whether each ability has understandable limits, and whether every connection between books strengthens the narrative instead of distracting from it.

Dedication will be especially important because this phase will unfold across several books and years of development. Some ideas may need to be rewritten, delayed, combined, or removed entirely so that stronger ideas have room to grow. Character arcs must remain consistent even when they cross into another series, and early details must support revelations that may not occur until much later. That kind of continuity cannot be rushed. It requires rereading earlier material, maintaining organized notes, revising timelines, and accepting that the best version of a story may take longer than the first version imagined.

Time management will also determine how successfully the era progresses. The roadmap will need to be divided into manageable stages: research and brainstorming, character development, worldbuilding, outlining, drafting, revision, continuity review, and preparation for publication. Setting clear priorities will help prevent one project from overwhelming the others. Instead of trying to complete every title at once, I will focus on the stories that establish the foundation first, schedule regular periods for reviewing the wider continuity, and leave enough flexibility for new ideas to develop naturally. Rest and reflection will be part of that schedule as well, because creativity is strongest when it has space to recover rather than being forced into constant production.

The progression of the cosmic superhuman era will therefore be gradual and intentional. Its earliest books will establish the people, rules, and mysteries at the center of Dogtown. Later stories will expand those discoveries into generational legacies, alliances, and conflicts with consequences far beyond the community where they began. Reaching that scale will take imagination, but it will also take the daily commitment to write, revise, organize, and keep moving forward even when progress feels slow. If creativity provides the spark, dedication will protect it, and time management will give it the structure needed to become the ambitious era I envision.



I also want this era to stand apart from the familiar formulas of movies, television, video games, and comic books. The goal is not to imitate an existing superhero universe, but to build a Glenwood mythology with its own rules, limitations, rivalries, and history. Every ability should reveal something about the person carrying it, and every major event should leave a mark on later stories. Phase 2 of the 2027–2030 roadmap will therefore be the franchise’s largest and most ambitious phase, expanding the lore beyond the Adonis and Kid of Adonis series while connecting individual titles to a much greater conflict. Development is scheduled to begin with Adonis — Book 1 in early 2028, opening the door to new bloodlines, hidden alliances, moral conflicts, and the long road toward The Radiant Core: War of 2048.

Adonis — 8 books forming a major foundation of the superhuman era.

Kid of Adonis — 5 books carrying the legacy into a new generation.

Cosmic Karon — 2 books exploring another branch of Cosmic DNA and its consequences.

Magenta Rose — 1 book introducing a distinct superhuman story within the shared universe.

Basir: Cosmic Fire — 1 book centered on power, identity, and the destructive potential of cosmic fire.

The Radiant Core: Last War — 1 book bringing the era’s long-building conflicts to a future war with consequences for the entire franchise.

other books are planned in between these core titles.

There will be a great deal to unpack as Phase 2 unfolds. Readers can expect origin stories, shifting alliances, secret identities, family legacies, and conflicts that begin on the streets before expanding far beyond Dogtown. Some books will stand on their own, while others will reveal connections that become more meaningful as the roadmap progresses. The Glenwood-themed books are expected to return in mid-2029 with Glenwood: The Safari Crew — Slice of Life, set after the conclusion of 2025’s Glenwood X series. Until then, Phase 2 will give readers a new side of the universe to explore while preserving the mystery surrounding what happened to the Safari Crew and other characters after Glenwood X: Vol. 3.

Before that launch, I will devote a full year to brainstorming and outlining every Phase 2 book so the powers, timelines, character arcs, and cross-series connections remain consistent. Early 2028 will mark the kickoff of development for Adonis — Book 1, but it will also begin the larger process of defining what Cosmic DNA is, where it came from, what it costs its carriers, and why Dogtown becomes the birthplace of a new age. I will continue sharing updates to the Glenwood 2027–2030 roadmap, including the principal characters, major titles, and creative milestones for Phase 2. The superhuman era is designed to be more than an expansion—it is the point where Glenwood’s grounded past, supernatural present, and cosmic future collide.

This will be one of the best expansions to the Glenwood Universe that requires a lot of creativity and dedication.
