These will be full color comic books with some incredible variant covers thrown into the mix!

COSMOS is a story about GENESIS…a familiar character thrown into an unfamiliar environment!
The Universe is in Chaos!
Earth is under attack by an invasion force from the Regime Empire that have come in search of the now revealed Relic, an immortal demigod with a score to settle and foretold to lead to the destruction of the universe. Relic, along with Regime Military Commanders Armada and Minion, have teleported off world as Legend & The Vanguard and The Regulators have put together a strategy to stop the invasion. Even with their leaders gone, the Regime invasion force continues its relentless attack upon the planet. But Earth’s governments conducted a secret mission to take the battle to the invasion flagship…and won! But that hard fought victory came at a great cost.
The cosmic entity known as Enigma the Soultaker has been revealed to be a captive of the evil magician Shaitan who has been impersonating him in order to steal the powerful Star Crest Gem from Genesis to enact his own power-hungry scheme of becoming ruler of the universe. Found by the Starforce, Genesis now has allies in his search for Shaitan and to bring peace to this chaotic universe by any means necessary!
And if that was not enough, at the end of COSMOS #6, the mysterious DOMINION arrived! What his intentions are and what this means for the COSMOS Maxi-Series are anyone’s guess!
The purpose of this campaign and our mission is to help put this amazing comic series COSMOS into the hands of people all over the world and continue to celebrate story telling by black comic book writers and fans of indiecomics & superheroes alike. It is also our prime mission to bring many more of our creative projects to life with the help of the Kickstarter community and more.

The suggested readers are ages 9 and up. Similar to Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinity Gauntlet, COSMOS plays with various archetypes, themes, concepts surrounding heroism/villainy as well as non-linear storytelling to craft a truly wild story that has a multitude of very unique characters and situations.

And will the arrival of the mysterious Genesis be the catalyst to save the cosmos…or destroy it?
COSMOS Issue #2
Legend & the Vanguard are searching for allies to battle a coming threat to creation and their first stop is to recruit Nimrod the Hunter and the Nubians!
