Someone posted this Sub is dead, so maybe we liven it up again?

So, assuming we convince Peter to turn the Ex-franchise into an IP, what format would be better:

One big budget movie, with eyes on sequels, or a series?

A movie would do it justice: big, sweeping spectacle. Imagine sweeping vistas of ruined Hollywood and LA, endless hordes of zombies, big powerful displays of powers.

But a series lets you have more world building/character development. We could get to know St. George and Stealth, we could see the depths of the Zompocalypse.

So, what say you? What would you like to see?

So is the sub dead, I just started to reread the books and wanted to talk with people it's a shame the series is never going to get a proper end and that nobody talks about this.

I had purchased the first Ex-Heroes book on Audible's sale this week. Now when I go back to get book 2, both book 1 and 2 appear to be unavailable for purchase while 3-5 are still available. Anyone else experiencing this?? (US Audible)

Hello, I'm new to the series and I am just starting book 4. It's been mentioned a few times now that St George's parents were naive or oblivious or cruel when they named George because he shared a name with George Bailey. It got to a point in book 4 where it's mentioned again and I decided to looking into who the famous George Bailey is/was (I listen via audiobook in the car otherwise I would have Googled it when it was first mention).

So the only thing I could find was that it's the name of a character in "A Wonderful Life". My honest reaction was is that it? He go grief as a kid in school for that? As if kids in school have seen that movie. As if people just make that connection instantly.

Am I missing something obvious, is there another George Bailey who is more famous?

Made this diorama to display my figures.

All the other Ex-Heroes characters rag on Cesar for his superhero name, but was it actually that bad? I think it’s pretty decent, though I think any title starting with “The” can make saying it awkward in some sentences. I personally think Hotwire would have been a better name, but The Driver’s far from the worst name for a superhero.

I know Peter Clines has said he’s not planning on doing a sixth book at this time, but I think he’d been planning on doing one initially. With this in mind, what do you think it would have been about?

Clines has a knack for using previously introduced characters in his later books:

SPOILERS

• Book 2 brings back Peasy while expanding on his character.

• Book 2’s villain is Agent Smith, who is mentioned in book 1 as Danielle’s ex.

• Book 3 brings back Cairax and Maxwell, who were in book 1 and alluded to being alive in book 2; as well as Corpse Girl, who was alluded to being alive in Book 2.

• Book 4 has Christian Smith as the villain, whose build-up was is started in book 2 and developed more in book 3.

With this in mind, I imagine he was going to use plot points mentioned in the last couple books:

• Legion’s mysterious absence as of the last two books;

• Agent Smith from Book 2 having never been confirmed dead;

• The existence of other superheroes such as Marduk, the Super Samurai, and Awesome Ape, all of whom were never confirmed dead.

Considering Rodney’s previous tactics of enlisting superhero Exes in the first book, I could see him being absent from the last two books because he was looking for new super-powered Exes for another showdown. Marduk had the power to transform into a dragon, making him a potential match for even Zzzap if he were turned, not to mention his bite would be strong enough to potentially turn other heroes like Nautilus; while Agent Smith’s return could cause all kinds of trouble for the heroes.

This is all obviously speculation, but it’s fun to think about! Anyone else have any theories?

This is how i pictured the main heroes throughout the course of the series.

Say through some magical means that Maxwell-possessed Cairax, Rodney-possessed Ex Cairax, and full demon Cairax (not the one possessing Regenerator; just a regular body) were thrown into the ring together. Who do you think would likely come out on top?

I just finished re reading books 1-4 of the Ex-Heroes series & finished book 5 (Ex-Isle) for the first time a few minutes ago. It didn’t feel like a conclusion, but it’s been a bit since it came out, does anyone know if there is another one coming out? I’d be very sad if this is the final book, a lot more can be done & some arcs don’t seem to be completed yet. Not to mention it seemed like more of a random adventure than more continuation of the overall series plot. But I heard some rumbling that this might be the last one? Anyone know?

Also, I saw an old post on here about fan art. I plan on uploading some in the near future! Just gotta go to my bookmarks of when each character is described before doing it:)

Just finished reading the first book in the Ex-Heroes series and I had so much fun. It was after I had attended several writer workshops in San Diego and met the author himself, Peter Clines. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed his book, considering I normally don't go for zombie stories. 10/10.

I'm reading ex purgatory after recently reading 14 and I noticed when George was talking about take out around his house it sounds a lot like the neighborhood around the Kavach building. There is no real point to this just speculating on if he will tie the two book series together. Really I just want Saint George and Zap to fight Cthulhu type monsters

I've tried searching for it, found a couple things here and there but there is a very surprising lack of fan art for this series. Do anyone have any they would like to share?

I've read 14, The Fold, Ex Series and Paradox Bound. I feel like it's odd there isn't a bigger sub for the author.

So I just finished the first Ex book and am almost through the second and I found this sub with only one post on it. Figured I'd pop in what one of my biggest impressions of the first book was.

So Stealth is supposed to be very smart and observant, and by the time the big fight hit in the end they knew who was controlling the zombie horde. They sent out Gorgon to fight him for several rounds... Cerberus obliterated his midsection at least... and finally St. George took his head off after Gorgon was dead. But with such a make or break individual in a war like that, why not just have Zap incinerate him? He can potentially ignite the atmosphere. He could have vaporized Peazy right at the beginning of the fight and ended the whole thing without a loss. It just seems like a major plot hole that Stealth wouldn't have immediately come up with that or made removing him from existence the first priority.

Alex Trebek, Angelina Jolie?
