MFC Studios hasn't added a story.

We have reached a milestone! After 31 years in the making, we are launching the crowdfundr for issue #2! Last year we launched issue #1 which you can purchase RIGHT HERE, we performed it as a radio play at EMCON & NYCC, and now we're looking to get issue 2 (of this five part story) published. But, We'll need your help! Last time it was a done deal that the book was going to be finished and printed (which is was). With Issue 2 it's more of an uphill battle.

  

Issue 2 is still a work in progress.  The Covers (both regular and Variant) needs to be completed (inks/colors/trade dress), lettering needs to be done, and the book needs to be sent to the printer. 

If you were kind enough to to get issue one, thank you! It was only through your support, that we are here. I hope you'll continue to support us so we can bring you the second issue. 

Set in the 90's, in a desperate last ditch attempt to hide a newly discovered power source that could change the tide of their centuries old war, King Tesson, leader of the Peace-loving Forlunds, sends his finest warriors across the galaxy to protect and hide the star fragments so that no one, not even the leader of the War-Like Jeronians, King Brigan, could ever use them.

 

This leads us to our heroes, 4 young adults (and one five year old boy) who gain abilities as a result of being in surgically implanted with the fragments.

 

 Issue one introduced you to Natasha Ash, our main heroine, and her new friend Chris Hughes, The Forlunds, and the Jeronians leaving you with a cliffhanger.  Issue two picks up immediately after the final page of issue one where you'll meet more of the main cast and how they deal with their new abilities and the aliens around them. 

 

Cover Art by Brian Kong with Jaden Lanning colors 

The variant cover is by "The Boys" Artist Russ Braun  with Jaden Lanning colors  COMING SOON

Interior art by Jade Smith pencils, Peter Palmiotti inks with Jorge Medina lettering.

 

 

 

As mentioned before, the comic was made into a radio play! We performed it at NYCC and at EMCON! Click the tab above to watch it in parts, or here to see the full thing! Adapted by Filmmaker Lee Kolinsky

 

 

So in conclusion:

Buy our book! Only you can help us make this book 31 years in the making (yes, it was written 31 years ago and penciled about 21 years ago) come to life. This is issue one and two of a five issue series and I'd love to share the future issues with you! This can only happen if this book is successful. To that end, if you are unable to financially help with a contribution, please share it on your social media platforms. Never underestimate the power of letting people who may not know about this project in on what we're trying to accomplish.

 

We thank you wholeheartedly in advance!
