BLOGS :** WILL JIM LEE BRING THE SYNDICATE BACK *** DID THE JUSTICE LEAGUE COPY A BLOOD SYNDICATE STORY ARC ****
DO AMERIKKKA STILL EATS HER YOUNG?
DON’T LET THE TITLE FOOL YOU. THIS ARTICLE..OR BLOG IS ABOUT THE LACK OF RESPECT THAT AMERICA AND SPECIFICALLY DC COMICS HAVE FOR THE CLASSIC AND CULT FAVORITE MID 90'S COMIC BOOK SERIES
THE SYNDICATE WAS A UNIQUE 90’S COMIC BOOK SERIES ABOUT THE FORMATION OF MULTIPLE GANG MEMBERS WHOM BECAME A TEAM FOLLOWING AN EXPERIMENTAL GAS EXPLOSION MEANT TO KILL THEM BUT INSTEAD GAVE THEM INCREDIBLE POWERS. BLOOD SYNDICATE WAS..AND STILL IS... A SERIES UNLIKE ANY OTHER TEAM COMIC SERIES . BLOOD SYNDICATE WAS WRITTEN BY IVAN VELEZ JR. AND IT NOT ONLY FEATURED A "SUPER POWERED GANG" OF MINORITY YOUTH BUT IT FEATURED: A LEADER WHO WOULD DIE ONLY 4 ISSUES IN, A IN CLOSET HOMO SEXUAL , A CRACK ADDICTED SUPER HEROINE, A SHAPE SHIFTING TRANSSEXUAL, AND MYSTICALLY WARRIORS. I'VE BEEN A FAN FOR THE SYNDICATE SINCE I WAS A KID. IT WAS ACTUALLY A DREAM OF MINE TO BECOME THE NEXT SYNDICATE ARTIST AFTER CRIS CROSS'S RUN. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME..THE SYNDICATE SERIES WAS CANCELED IN 1996 (THE SAME YEAR 2PAC DIED) AND MY DREAM..FADED AWAY. HOWEVER..I WOULD GET TO SEE SOME OF THE SYNDICATE CHARACTERS OVER THE YEARS IN THE STATIC SHOCK CARTOON SERIES. I WAS SURE THAT A FUTURE COMIC BOOK FEATURING THE SYNDICATE WOULD FOLLOW AND IN 2001 THE SYNDICATE RETURNED IN "STATIC SHOCK" MINI-SERIES. BUT ONCE AGAIN FADED AWAY FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS. FINALLY THEY RETURNED AS SUPPORTING CHARACTERS IN MILESTONE FOREVER. AFTER READING THE MILESTONE FOREVER LIMITED SERIES IN 2010. I LONGED FOR AN ALL NEW BLOOD SYNDICATE SERIES..OR EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF SOME OF THE CHARACTERS. I FIGURED WITH THE RETURN OF STATIC IN A REGULAR COMIC SERIES IN LATE 2011, WHICH FEATURED HARDWARE AS HIS MENTOR, AS WELL AS THE RECENT APPEARANCES OF ICON & ROCKET IN THE YOUNG JUSTICE CARTOON SERIES, I FIGURED THE SYNDICATE WILL BE NEXT ONES TO GET THEIR 15 MINUTES. UHH...UMMM...WHERE THE HELL IS THE SYNDICATE AT?!? NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. SO I’VE DECIDED TO CREATE A BLOG DEDICATED TO THE BLOOD SYNDICATE CALLED “BLOG SYNDICATE”. BY DOING THIS BLOG AND WORKING ON THE BLOOD SYNDICATE FAN SITE, I WILL CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF THE SYNDICATE IN MY OWN WAY..AS A FAN AND FOR ALL THE OTHER BLOOD SYNDICATE FANS WORLDWIDE TO CONTRIBUTE, COMMENT, AND ENJOY.

Bloody Pic Of The Week:
Illustrated by Trevor Von Eeden ( Blood Syndicate # 1 )
The "Blood Syndicate" is a multicultural gang street gang of super powered meta humans operating out of Paris Island, in Dakota City. Most of its members received their powers in the "Big Bang", when a tear-gas laced with Quantum Juice was used to dispel a massive gang riot, killing many and unlocking the meta gene in an elite and surviving few. Its members are compiled from the remnants of several other street gangs, including the Paris Island Bloods and the Force Syndicate, hence their title being a compilation of both names. The team has been through several changes since first coming together. Originally, the leader was now deceased member Tech-9, followed by Wise Son, then Holocaust, and finally Wise Son regains his status as HNIC of The Syndicate.

Previously :
After numerous battles against her/him, the Blood Syndicate finally defeated the Demon Fox at the cost of Syndicate member Kwai's life. Following this final battle, the Blood Syndicate decided to disband and went back to their separate lives. Following these events, newspaper journalist Rob Chaplik, releases an exclusive by Wise Son, detailing the Syndicates evident breakup. The people of Dakota have mixed feeling about this news. While most are happy, relieved, and shocked. Others, specifically those from Paris Island, who also viewed the Syndicate as a force of good, are sadden to hear of the break up.
In the weeks following the original Syndicate's disbanding, former Syndicate member-turned-criminal Holocaust began forming a new Blood Syndicate that was more sympathetic to his schemes. He recruited several villainous Bang Babies such as TarMack, Bad Betty, Mistress Murder, BubbarSaur and some former members of the first Syndicate. He believes with the Syndicate now under his reign, he can take over not only Dakota's criminal empire, but of Dakota herself. He knew that in order for him to do this he must get rid of Icon. Holocaust now with Blood Syndicate having his back, arranges a confrontation with Icon to remove the hero as an obstacle to his plans and took make Dakota his own.
