With Just about 12 days in, Zenith Comics has been rocking the Kickstarter scene with the promise of being HEROIC! The new comic from writer Andrew Collas, has the look of the current polished books out there but is toting a script that takes things back before mega-events and crossovers. We've gone to Kickstarter to not only fund the comic's first issue, but also to get the word out there about what Zenith is trying to create.
What is Andrew hoping to churn up with this project? If we take from the Kickstarter page :
Heroes who are actually heroes. Heroes who inspire. Bigger than life, and with actual ideals. I am a big fan of the Bronze Age of comics - 1975-1985 in particular. I want to draw from that inspiration, but with a modern eye. I want heroes who inspire, but not ones who are cardboard cut outs of truth and justice. Icons, who stand for something, just like real people often stand for something. I reject that "realistic" means things are grim, humorless, and self-serving. There are people being heroic every day, people fighting for ideals every day. There is room for realistic people in fantastic situations. We used to write those stories. Zenith is going to write them again.
By the look and feel of the script and splashes of artwork by fan favorite Alex Williamson, Heroic aims to deliver.
Now where does lil ol HAZARD Stds come into this? Andrew and I are looking to do similar things in entertainment. We want to bring back the fun in both Comics (his side) and RPG's (my side). To that end we work together to produce items that will allow us to do that.
