HUniverse History[]
Having met on smackjeeves.com, where Joachim had first published his webcomic "A.D 1997", he was one of the original four creators to be invited by Nepath to collaborate with him on the first chapter of Heroes Unite. He created Bombshell specifically in response to Nepath's invitation, and Bombshell's own comic was launched shortly after her first appearance on Heroes Unite. Joachim was later invited by Nepath to write and organize the third chapter, HU: EGO, and also wrote HU: Fury when it turned out that HU: The Darkness Within had to be postponed.
Nepath informed him early on that HU would end its run as a community project after The Darkness Within, and Joachim suggested to salvage the community aspect and continue it under another banner. This new project assumed the title Heroes Alliance, which had originally been held by Nepath for one of his own comics. Joachim then went on to work closely together with Sebastian Sandberg, fukujinzuke, Hero, Wes_Nero123, AzuJOD and several other webcomic creators on drunkduck to develop Heroes Alliance, until it went live in July 2010. He has been writing several chapters since then, overseing the overall production of individual chapters as well as guiding the comic's progress and mapping out the first two seasons. His character Bombshell continues to be one of the most prolific characters of the HUniverse.
