What books/comics/graphic novels are in the pipeline?
Here is a brief update on what i'm working on. For more details and insider expose, sign up as a Patron (please!).
Epics of Existentia - Main Canon Acts
Acts of the Twin: Act 1 - Master and Ward
This story follows the adventures of Magister Lothar and the Page-Ward Jacq, as they return from the Storm Mounds of Cape Nimbus. Many revelations occur, that shed light on the events of Exhumation - Act 1 of the Sojourner. There will be high-seas adventures, a view of the world outside Sanctuary along with all of its griminess, hard living and harsh realities. But it will also reveal some of the unnerving truths of the seemingly perfect Sanctuary.
Acts of the Twin: Act 2 - Journeyman's
This Act follows on from when Page-Ward Jacq leaves the company of Pious in the opening of Exhumation. Jacq and his friend Brasson Broadroad, are sent on special mission to investigate some suspicious activities by the Advocates of Lumerus. This Act reveals what occurred during the events whilst Pious was banished from Sanctuary and to their eventual reunion.
Acts of the Sojourner: Act 2 - Exhaltation
Follows Pious on his quest to recover his wife on the planet of Qharnak. Act 2 is high-adventure fantasy. Lots of travelling through varied and treacherous lands, Indiana Jonesesque dungeon delving, elaborate plots and mysteries and a few epic scale wars to beef it up.
Acts of the Sojourner Act 3 - Transcendence
Act 3 is epic fantasy - featuring such events as a romp through the Aetherical realm of Conceptia, aiding the Ice Crab Kings who dwell in the Frozen Fjords of Aquaticus against their enemies, the monstrous Siark. Act 3 is mind bending fantastical fantasy.
Acts of the Sojourner Act 4 - Transfiguration
Act 4 follows the story an obscure character, otherwise known as X (Ekks) to his shady, black-ops superiors. This Act occurs on Earth in present time and is reminiscent of an 80's/90's Schwarzenegger style action movie, kind of like Predator meets Apocalypto (I really hate having to say A meets B, but it at least sets the expectation).
Acts of the Sojourner Act 5 - Resurrection
Act 5 is set more of a dystopian science-fiction novel set in a far and haunting future. It follows the workings of a combat automaton, inadvertently uploaded with a somewhat revered, yet unknown and obscure Personality Matrix. After a violent awakening and bloodied several corpses at its feet, it takes care and charge of a lone child survivor hiding in the darkness.
Epics of Existentia - Stand Alone Novels/Graphic Novels
One Choice (Graphic Novel)
This novel covers a particular desperate battle set in the same dystopian future as in Act 5 of the Sojourner. It pits a set of unwilling war-criminals and captured revolutionaries against insurmountable odds and ruthless war machines. Its a fight against each other and the timed detonation collars strapped to the necks if they do not complete their mission in time. Retreat, it detonates. Time elapses, it detonates. You die, it detonates. Only one choice - forward.
This story is written, and could be readily released as a novel. However, this will be much cooler as a Graphic Novel. Story board and initial sketches underway.
The Journal of Dr. Prof. Shroeder (Journal style Novel with illustrations).
This novella discusses the inner workings and journey of a discredited Archaeologist and Anthropologist, well into his retirement years. Discredited for the research of his ancestors, and his own research into the belief that humankind somehow survived multiple cataclysmic events. When he is taken against his will by shadowy figures, and requested to undertake further research into his own discredit, his research and his journey begin to unravel and makes sense - but to what end he is uncertain.
Non Epics of Existentia Works
Brian Storm - Firmware Detective (Comic)
This is the brain child of myself, co-author Neil Noakes and artist Adam Edwards. It follows the adventures of our somewhat aging Detectobot - Brian Storm, with an addiction to circuitboard cleaner and a knack for solving crimes. Luckily for him, his on-again off-again girlbot Pinky McIntosh keeps an eye out for him, even if all he has going for him is a 3.5" floppy disk and a persevering attitude.
Hopefully, you will follow along while he combats the evil illegal firmwares of Chipcity - such as the Worm, Seary Spears and his long term nemesis - Malcolm Warewolfe, who rides about Chipcity atop his steed, the mighty Trojan - causing corruption and disorder in wake of electrons.
Mythra (Comic)
A child is born in a collapsed cave somewhere on an island, in a war torn Mediterranean. Drawing sustenance from the fungi and moss covered walls, illuminated by the phosphorescent ores, his mother warns him of the dangers that dwell deeper within the cave, while he endless toils to move the heavy stones that block their exit. Long after the passing of his mother, he summons the inner strength to delve deeper into the depths of the cave, in search of the legendary means to create tools of great power - a means protected by the great beast that is half-man, half-bull. Only with these implements, will he be able to make his great exit and give his mother the burial she deserves. But in doing so, he will emerge from his cave into a world - both unsuspecting and undeserving of what he will become. Mythra.
