African American

For the African American group.
Though some contacts over seas, I manged to connect with an artist who wants to work with me on some comic book ideas. For the next couple of weeks I will be working on several comic book proposals that we will eventually be submitting to Image Comics. For those of you who don't know Image Comics is a creator owned comic book company that buys comics based on what a team submits.
My first comic book and I'm just about done with the first issue is called Genesis Island.
Genesis Island is a post apocalyptic science fiction series that finds a small group of survivors trying to help rebuild what is left of humanity. When God finally reveals his existence, not everyone is on board and not everyone can let go of the demons of humanities past.
My other project and this is the one I'm really excited about is my Winston Dillinger. He's a racist, famous radio star. He's made millions trashing minorities. But an insult to a black writer on his radio show earns the anger of an old Shaman who casts a spell which sends Winston to a parallel world where white people are not the masters of the universe but are treated as slaves. Winston must earn the respect of a traveling black family and do everything he can do to avoid being captured and sold into slavery himself.
Tomorrow I will start on issue number one and I will need your prayers as I get my pitch together. Pray for me. I'm excited about this project.

Sounds like an interesting plot for sure!

(8,709 posts)bring these two issues to fruition because we need them. We need your stories so badly it hurts.
Sending that no interruptions hamper you, no negativity even come close to you, and there's no difficulty you cannot overcome. Sending out to allow the ideas, the words, and imagery to flow and come together. Calling out that everyone who reads or even sees the covers of your work fall in love with them.
Lai Ati Lai-Lai, Aṣẹ!
