Breathe life into 5 new comic stories ranging from action, psychological thriller, drama, historical fiction, and superheroics

We are looking to launch the first issues for 5 exciting comic book series.

Be a part of bringing to the table a wealth of stories ranging from espionage driven action, psychological horror-thriller, supernatural drama, historical fiction, and down-to-earth superheroics.

Mass media is picking stories to the bone. Endless "events", sequels, prequels, reboots, and the like are driving any story they exists into the ground. We are being feed the same stories over and over again in comics, tv and movies.

That's why it's important that new independent stories with unique voices have to be born and released. We feel that it's important to as creators to express the limits of our minds to bring out the best to be discovered. It's also necessary for readers to explore new stories to challenge their own mind with new ideas, art and stories.

You can play a huge part in these 6 men and 6 women's lives and bring these stories to fruition by making a pledge or spread the word about this opportunity.

THE COMICS

LOANS by NINA DARGUZIS & NAOMI FRANQUIZ

Have a student loan?  The US government owns our student loans. If you default on your loan, they’ve decided to take it out of you.  Miss enough payments and you’re shipped off to a secret government run agency until you will pay off what you owe.  No one said education was going to be cheap. Once your debt is payed you are free to go. If you live that long.

LUCID PROOF by JEREMY HOLT, VIC MALHOTRA,  PALLE SCHMIDT, ED BRISSON & W. SCOTT FORBES

Gary Shaw hasn't slept in a year.

His sleep-deprived, fractured perception of time is becoming even more disorienting, he's tormented by a re-occurring hallucination of a psychotic giant killing people in front of him. He becomes highly dependant on an asthma inhaler which not only suppresses his physical attacks, but his psychological ones as well. When his supply eventually runs out, he finally falls asleep only to wake up covered in someone else's blood - a mystery that forces him to confront a past he's chosen to forget.

DISTANT SOULS by SALLY JANE THOMPSON

World-weary and antisocial British journalist Samantha Dann is on a press junket trip to an opulent new hotel in Vancouver, but the trip isn't turning out to be business as usual. For starters, it's the 15th anniversary of the death of her childhood best friend, an event she still blames herself for.

Cracking open the cheap fiction she bought out of delayed-flight boredom at the airport bookstore, she finds her own memories of her friend Surina, and her death, apparently transcribed as part of a book by a complete stranger in another country. Research reveals the writer, Anita Singh, lives in Vancouver, and Samantha sets out to interview her, disturbed and unsure of what exactly she's after.

THE RED KING by SHAUN MANNING & ANNA WIESZCZYK

Explore a new take on the historical Macbeth.

This isn't an adaptation, but a story based upon historical research of the great Scottish king as he suffers through trials of court, war and bloodshed. The real early 11th century king of Scotland was a fascinating figure, and a very different character from the infamous villain of Elizabethan stage. Join us to learn an other side of the man.

HERO COMPLEX by  DEL BOROVIC & LINDSEY MANIERI

How far would a superhero go to keep her loved ones, and identity, safe? A stay-at-home mom by day and a crime-fighting vigilante by night, Jessica Parks is not your typical woman in disguise. A rogue attack while driving home to her family one evening sends her world spiraling. Blindsided and out of disguise, Parks is in a terrible car accident and forced to confront her assailant. With her identity, as well as her family's safety, at stake... she is left to make an awful choice in order to save face, and the face of her family's future...
