This came over the feeds yesterday:

…at the start of August, the NHC predicted an exceptionally busy North Atlantic hurricane season, with 18 to 21 tropical storms, 9 to 11 of which would become hurricanes. So far that forecast has been borne out, and it could yet prove an underestimate.

The record tropical storm season saw 21 cyclones, and occurred in 1933. If that number is exceeded, the NHC will use up its list of names and turn to Greek-letter designations.

(Get that? So many storms that THEY’RE RUNNING OUT OF NAMES FOR THEM!)

I mentioned it to my beloved muse. She started listing out possible science-fictiony names that could follow after Rita. She gets to Z and says the obvious: ZOD.

And the sparks fly in my mind.

I know what my first minicomic is going to be.

Hurricane Zod.

Watch the skies.
