At Salt Lake Comic Con we ran into comic creator Gabe Epperson who is kickstarting a graphic novel detailing the “empire” in Salt Lake. A world years in the future the empire is lead by a “prophet” and a young soldier begins asking questions that nobody likes. They are curently 50% to goal with 16 days to go. The art looks phenomenal and the story looks to be a lot of fun. I can think of stacks of stories that involve a society rebelling against a “false prophet” that have been absolutely phenomenal. You can check their Kickstarter to see a video about what this project is really about, and check below for a sample of the artwork.
For a scant $5 you get a digital PDF of the 24 page book. I’d absolutely throw ’em five bucks for a copy. Most graphic novels are a steal at even $10. Take the opportunity to support a great independent project and make something amazing hit shelves.
