Bugtown

Bugtown is a fictional city that is the setting of several comic books and novels written by Matt Howarth.

Bugtown is a blighted cityscape with no government or laws. Violence is constant from individual fights to interdimensional invasions.

Bugtown exists in its own dimension of reality and has several unique properties. The city has reverse entropy which causes any building which is destroyed or any person who is killed in the city to be spontaneously restored, albeit often changed by the circumstances of their destruction. The constant death and destruction in the city are in fact necessary, because without the energy being diverted into the resulting resurrections, the city would explode.

Bugtown is connected to other dimensions and at times sections of other cities, along with their occupants, are spontaneously transferred into Bugtown and become part of that city. As a result of this interdimensional connection, natives born in Bugtown also have the ability to travel between dimensions. This ability has created a division between the city's natives and those who were brought to the city.

Howarth created Bugtown as the home setting for some of his already existing characters and gradually introduced the city in his work. At one point there was a planned role playing game to be based on the city which, while it was never published, caused Howarth to develop more detail for Bugtown. In 2005, Howarth published a six issue mini-series titled "Bugtown" using some of the ideas he had created for the game.
