“THE SPARK is the best example of what all-ages comics should be!” says Studio-407 Managing Director Alex Leung, “Young readers will be able to relate to Lucas’s internal conflict and the steep learning curve of growing up, while science-fiction and superhero veterans can appreciate the unique touches that Martin and Nahuel have brought to the table.”

FOLLOW A RELUCTANT HERO’S FATE IN THIS 5-PAGE PREVIEW OF THE SPARK!

If you had the chance to be a superhero what would you do? Fifteen years ago, a phenomenon called “The Spark” created four superhumans who sacrificed themselves to stop an world-wide cataclysm. Now, The Spark has happened again, creating a new generation of heroes. As three heroes emerge to accept their responsibility as protectors of humanity, everyone wonders, where’s the fourth? Meet Lucas, who would save the world, but he has other problems – school, his supermarket job to help his mom with the bills and a little sister who’s more than a handful. But when an alien horde arrives to enslave the planet, will Lucas rise up to be the hero mankind needs? Blending sci-fi and super-hero adventure, THE SPARK is an unforgettable story for all ages about the most unlikely hero!

“What makes THE SPARK so compelling is that everyone feels like Lucas sometimes,” says Studio-407 PR & Marketing Manager Ivan Salazar, “We all have to deal with bills and family issues, but not everyone has to do that while battling an alien invasion! It’s the tale of a super-human everyman that will make you think what would you do if the world rested on your shoulders?”
