“STRANGER FROM ABOVE,” Part Two
It’s Earth vs. Aliens—with one teenage boy standing between them—in this tale of terror and high-stakes science fiction! From RODNEY BARNES, the star comics writer behind the Eisner-nominated series KILLADELPHIA and the writer/executive producer of HBO’s Winning Time, and up-and-coming Marvel artist ALEX LINS comes a new tale of love, triumph, disaster, and defeat!

Young Travon has ventured beyond the makeshift shelter of his high school’s walls in a desperate search for food and rations for the surviving students—but no heroic act goes unpunished. Travon finds himself captured and at the mercy of these strange beings from another world, but what do they want with him? Why are they attacking Earth? And will he ever see his beloved Daysha again, or is he as doomed as the rest of the world?

About the author

Rodney L Barnes has had the privilege to accomplish so much in a short time on Earth. At the age of forty-two and surviving a major traumatic brain injury, writing and publishing the book, My Miracle outlines and talks about experiences he had undergone that might contribute to the events in your life. From past to present, he had learned how to accept what life has to offer, not struggle with life. He was raised on the principles of ordinary life, take nothing for granted! Rodney now clearly understands those principles of living because of his development. Through events of his life, the accident, coma, and relearning life at twenty-one years of age, he has to give all these accomplishments to the Lord Jesus Christ. Rodney is praying for his book to get into the hands of people who need a source of comfort, strength, or knowledge to learn more how strong and powerful Jesus Christ is and can be. Visit him at Facebook.com/mymiraclethemovie and together, we all can help each other understand the meaning of life.

I had my suspicions.

This series is shaping up to be excellent

When you’re born of two worlds, which side do you choose to align with when both are teetering on the precipice of intergalactic warfare? That’s the question Rodney Barnes seeks to answer in his latest horror comics masterpiece — Monarch.

This issue revealed a lot and did a great job of peeling back the onion to expose readers to the many lures and folds of what’s going on beneath the surface. Brilliantly written, beautifully drawn, and a sure fire favourite for best comic issue of the year thus far.

Wasn’t as good as the first but now we have more questions after 1st issue answers. Cool little history lesson which may lead our main character on a new course, once discovering his real identity.
