Shape Comics has launched a new project: the Forge/Surge/Omega Triple Feature — three awesome stories in one big book. And by the looks of it, this will be their biggest hit yet.
Collectively, the stories play around in a mix of genres. We get some medieval fantasy with Forge, the story of a blacksmith-turned-magic-fire-knight who tries to defend her kingdom from an army of skeletons. Surge shifts the genre from fantasy to sci-fi with the story of a young tech genius who develops a visor that can shoot beams of lightning. Omega rounds it out with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy, where an elvish space man fights a giant monster in an arena in an attempt to free his planet from invading lizard barbarians.
It’s safe to say that this comic is jam-packed with awesomeness.
The project has a large team of talented creators behind it. Shape’s co-founder Breyden Boyd is at the helm as the writer for all three comics, with illustrators Sean Peacock (Forge), Nick Malara (Surge), and Marcus Cripps (Omega) laying down the pencils inks. Shape’s resident colorist Violet Villanueva will be coming through with the group’s signature halftones and paper textures, giving it all a nice retro cohesiveness.
This whole thing got started when Boyd dusted off some old superhero doodles from his childhood and breathed new life into them. The Shape-Man series was the first, and with over 3000 copies sold, the fans demanded more. Boyd turned back to the doodles, and decided it was time for Forge, Surge, and Omega to make their debut.
Check out the Forge/Surge/Omega Triple Feature on Kickstarter until October 25th.
