Brushfire: Wave 1

by Dennis Vogen

You have to memorize the Mission "Brushfire exists to reveal and respect the truths of the universe, and to protect and provide for all of its inhabitants." Brushfire is an advanced society of wildlife who live in the Burrow, a sprawling subterranean city built deep under Faribault's Central Park. Squirrels Bay and Elle are a part of Fair Leaders in Action, Relief, and Exploration. The members of FLARE are the best of what Brushfire represents, and are respected and admired throughout the community for their work, their honesty, and their bravery. Forty months ago, a group of elite scientists called the Ekpyrotic Ensemble were lost overnight while trying to tap into a vast source of mysterious power. In the present, a strange visitor lights a spark under FLARE to revisit the tragic event, as some of them discover there was more to that power than even they knew. Brushfire is from the mind of acclaimed Minnesota writer and artist Dennis Vogen, the creator of The Weirdos.

About the author

Dennis Vogen is a writer, artist, musician, and definitely not several squirrels in a human costume, who uses pop culture and his own work to talk too much about stuff we don't talk too much about, like addiction, sobriety, loss, grief, pain, anxiety, creativity, and hope.

He's been publishing since 2013, releasing over ten books in his first ten years. He's an active blogger and an overactive oversharer; unfortunate practitioner of radical empathy.

Creator of The Weirdos, Brushfire, Jojo, Cold World, Theia, Flip + Push, Them + Us, Time is a Solid State and more. Lives in Minnesota. Official website: dennisvogen.com
