“Police athlete” Dash Dixon’s first super-heroic adventure involves him travelling to the small European Republic of Scalene in search of the murderers of several US exporters. Turns out that they were killed to prevent arms and other supplies from being brought into the country, because the Scalene Angles, a group of wealthy jerks, were looking to conquer it.<\/p>\n

The most important thing about the Scalene Angles is of course their name. It’s fun, but it also depends on their country<\/i> being named Scalene and once you consider that you have to imagine the whole nation being lousy with places like Triangle Square and Three Sides of Different Lengths Locksmithing and the Pythagoras Doesn’t Know Us Bakery (and maybe a few places talking about the neck<\/a> in some way). It’s still a great name but it’s also probably the name of a triangleball team that one of their kids plays on so no points for originality here.<\/p>\n

(they do leave a note with a little triangle signature and I always like that, so one point to them there. But Dash Dixon does<\/i> find and destroy them because of that note so the point is a treacherous one)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
