Welcome to a world where magic is the domain of the criminal underworld.

For centuries, the Five Families have operated in the shadows, using hidden magic and violence to rule the city. Kira is heir to the Kaine family, the strongest of them all.

But on her eighteenth birthday, unknown enemies slaughter the Kaine family, intending to use Kira as a sacrifice to attain ultimate power. What they don’t anticipate is Kira breaking free—and bonding to an angel of death named Shrike.

With Shrike, Kira now has the power to enact bloody vengeance on the people who betrayed her family. But, every use of his power burns away a part of Kira’s very soul.

Can she find the truth and attain revenge before Shrike destroys her entirely?

When a shadow dubbed “The Man in Black” begins systematically eradicating heroes and villains alike, leaving only destruction in his wake, even the mighty Victory—the greatest superhero ever known—finds himself at a loss. While the Victory Force scrambles against an enemy they cannot track or identify, young Mystic—granddaughter of Victory himself—is called upon by her mentor Dr. Magic to unlock her unique abilities and pierce the veil surrounding their mysterious adversary.

For centuries, the Five Families have operated in the shadows, using hidden magic and sudden violence to dominate the criminal underworld. Kira is heir to the Kaine family, the strongest of them all. But on her eighteenth birthday, unknown enemies slaughter the Kaine family, intending to use Kira as a sacrifice to attain ultimate power. What they didn’t anticipate was Kira breaking free, leading to her being accidentally bonded to an angel of death named Shrike.

With Shrike, she has the power to enact bloody vengeance on the people who betrayed her family, but every use of his power burns away a part of Kira’s very soul. Can she find the truth and her revenge before Shrike destroys her entirely?

Crowdfunding Corner: Actor Daniel Wu and Sean Chen team for Evermind

Posted on September 23, 2023 by Graphic Policy Team

Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.

The previously teased content studio 247 Comics has announced its first release; Evermind from artist Sean Chen, and actor Daniel Wu, on a meteoric rise in Hollywood’s emerging Asian American stars in film and television, is now funding on Kickstarter!

Evermind tells the story of overlooked innovator Lucas Zhang (whose likeness was inspired by Wu himself) who has worked his entire life to push humanity beyond the bounds of physical limitations with his incredible developments in neurolink technology, but his quest for success has come at a cost. Now in a desperate attempt to save his own humanity—and the life of his only child—Zhang unleashes a powerful new technology that is too dangerous to be trusted. Now Zhang is selling out and cashing in, and his patented masterworks are serving only two purposes—destruction and desire.
