A Diverse Group of Intergalactic Warriors, headed by the human, Jenny Rocket, must band together to put an end to an Evil OverLord.
Meet "The Ultimate 7"! That's Jenny Rocket - front and center, Thrasher - behind Jenny, Raptor - on the left, Dargin - above Raptor, Mallick - the big guy in the back, Braddock - top right, Cybra - below Braddock, and Bosco the dog. This "Heroes" Pin-Up was done by a good buddy of mine, artist Steven Sanchez. It's so AWESOME!!!
Hi, my name is Robert Wawrzyniak, and I am the writer/creator of “The Ultimate 7”, an Epic, Sci-Fi Graphic Novel Trilogy consisting of 12 Full Color Issues. Each Volume contains 4 Issues, and all together, the Trilogy is 384 pages. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to check out my KICKSTARTER Project!
"The Ultimate 7" story is about Col. Jenny Rocket, a hotshot space fighter pilot who survives an alien attack on her space station near Mars but accidentally plunges through a wormhole to the other side of the galaxy. There she meets an alien who recruits her to find six other elite alien warriors. Together, they will combat the Evil OverLord, who destroyed her home, killed her family and friends, and took her sister, Laura, prisoner. The OverLord sends his armada through wormholes from solar system to solar system raping and pillaging planets from all of their resources, enslaving populations, decimating planets, and even refertilizing them for the next time he returns. So, Jenny heads off on a planet-hopping adventure, traveling to exotic worlds and fighting strange alien creatures. But time's running out, and the success or failure of the mission depends on Jenny. Will she find all of the warriors in time, or will the OverLord prevail and his reign of terror throughout the universe go on for eternity?
I’ve been working on “The Ultimate 7” since 2000 (that's 12 long years) with the super-talented artist Shawn Surface and the extraordinary inker/colorist Scott Shoemaker. I only wish that there would have been an awesome platform like KICKSTARTER when we first started. It would have really helped out a lot. But, nevertheless, we persevered through twelve grueling issues! And two great friendships later, “The Ultimate 7” Trilogy was completed. Yes, completed!
Robert (Bob) Shawn Scott
Together, we bring you a brand new creation of the “Age Old Story” of Good vs. Evil, an Evil Alien OverLord against a Diverse Band of Warriors. "The Ultimate 7" is a cross between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I was 10 when the first Star Wars came out, and it definitely had a profound effect on me.
Here are "The Ultimate 7" Heroes by Shawn Surface and "The Ultimate 7" Villains by Scott Shoemaker.
Here's a cool double page spread from Issue #8 at the Seedy Oasis Saloon. The space cowboy wasn't playing fair, so General Reen took him out with his laser pulsar that shoots out from the palm of his razor sharp claw hand. Very Cool!
My Goal:
To share with all of you “The Ultimate 7” experience. Everything I love and grew up is in these 3 Graphic Novels. And the most rewarding thing to me is when someone has read my books and came back and told me that they loved them and can't wait for the next one to come out. All of those long nights burning the midnight oil after working my two other jobs, serving tables and property management to pay the artist, inker, colorists, etc. Not to mention, all the time I had to spend away from my wife, who is my biggest supporter and fan. She kept and still keeps on pushing me through it all.
But, I Can't Do It Without You
With your support, and through this great KICKSTARTER Project opportunity, “The Ultimate 7” can reach unlimited potential! There's an array of fantastic rewards that you can choose from! We also have Original Artist Sketches, Original Art, and Original Concept Art Pages from Issue 1.
Since we only have a handful of Volume 1 & 2 left, and we still haven't printed Volume 3 at all, we would love to print 1,500 of each book. That's 4,500 books! And we're ready to go to print! All funds funds received will directly support in the high quality printing of all 3 Volumes of the "The Ultimate 7" Trilogy, associated fees from Kickstarter and Amazon, and shipping and handling in the Continental U.S. for an estimated December 2012 delivery. That's right around the corner! International Friends, please refer to the shipping chart below.
It would be awesome if you could also help us spread the word around about our KICKSTARTER Project!
