Posted on by

After his home world is destroyed, he entrusts Kid Brooklyn, who happens to be from “Brooklyn, NY” with a rare “Sun Stone”. Sun Stones are the most powerful natural element in the universe. Powered by the sun, the Sun Stone gives Kid Brooklyn and his friends super powers. A Sun Stone can amplify your natural talents, making them super natural. Once they except their destiny, they must use these newly found powers to stop the alien race from destroying Earth’s natural resources.

Written by Jaden Anthony, Joseph Anthony, Dennis Calero, Kid Brooklyn: Genesis Vol. 1 features art, inks, colors, and letters from Crimson Studio, Santiago Gullen, Tina & Amit Chadge, and Dennis Calero.

Why settle for fantasy characters when you can read about a real life group of friends who all grew up together doing amazing things? Kid Brooklyn is a comic with a purpose supporting environmental and education based charities. Each comic will benefit a different nonprofit with the first being Greenforall.org which was founded by CNN’s Van Jones. The focus is to help communities in Flint, MI get clean water.

At only 12 years old, Jaden Anthony is a vegetarian and environmental activist with his father to help educate kids on the importance of climate change and other environmental and social issues.

The 81 page comic will be out October 2017 and retail for $9.99.

Kickstarter Spotlight – Lazerman: This Man, This Lazer! Trade Paperback

Posted on by

HBComics has kicked their Kickstarter campaign for Lazerman: This Man, This Lazer! Trade Paperpack up a notch with variant covers from two well known artists.

Billy Tucci, Eisner award nominated creator of Shi, and more recently creator/artist of the biblical tale A Child is Born, has produced one of the variant covers being offered for Lazerman: This Man, This Lazer!. The cover has yet to be revealed, although HBComics.com features a Billy Tucci Lazerman pinup, also being offered through the crowd-funding campaign.

In addition, Chris Giarrusso, creator/artist of G-Man: Cape Crisis and Marvel Comic’s Mini-Marvels is also providing a variant cover for the campaign.

The Kickstarter campaign, which is HBComic’s first, is aimed at getting a trade paperback produced collecting the first four issues of the Lazerman series, according to series artist Chris Hebert. Lazerman is “an all ages, classic style super hero story about a comic book geek who, in a bizarre twist of fate, actually gets real super-powers.” The series is currently on it’s seventh issue.

Best Pledge: $20, $24 or $25 which will get you all seven issues, the trade or the variant covers depending on the level chosen.
