Dark Side of the Moon

Two Sides to Every Coin

Comic Unknown would like to introduce the retro styled, Lord of the Cosmos. Set on a world called Aiden, the citizens use the power of the planet to fuel their machines. Society has created what they believe is utopia by combining their knowledge of magic and technology. As the natives achieve peace and prosperity throughout the majority of the planet, their ignorance is both their joy and potential demise. While the people of Aiden completely disregard the waste they leave behind as they live in their castles. The dark side of their utopia begins to creep up with those who were exiled from the promised land known as the Disciples of Umex in the outer lands and slums. There are many whispers about Umex's origin but was all pedestrian until now that has awakened from his long slumber and is ready to claim Aiden as his own. He calls upon the help of his underlings to wreak havoc across the planet. Will Umex wish come to pass or will his it be nothing but a dream?

Using what they know and love from the 80's Dennis Fallon, Jason Lenox, and Jason Palmatier forged Lord of the Cosmos. The essence of the first issue suggests that there's always a dark side, a consequence of every action people take even if they're unaware of it. Lenox created the concept and penciled the comic but Fallon and Palmatier brought this to life. The story is extraordinary in all the right ways and leaves the readers wanting more. The characters themselves were beautifully designed by all three of theses artist and each has their own history which can be seen in the issue. The illustration is brilliant and the black and white color scheme is very old school. This art style is seen throughout all the stories and it serves well. Lord of the Cosmos is elegant, immense and fantastic. It was fully funded on Kickstarter on September 26, 2016, but it never hurts to get more supporters. Lord of the Cosmos is available for $7 (including shipping) at Jason Lenox's site as well as on Comixology for $1.99. Readers can follow Jason Lenox on Facebook, Twitter, Ugli Studios site or his site for any updates in regards to Lord of the Cosmos or any other books he is working on.

Xeno Habilis Exterminus & Grizelda

Welcome back to another story of the Comic Unknown Anthology!!

Today We Will Be Introducing

Ugli Studios Presents Volume 1!

  Volume 1 consists of two different stories but unlike most stories, both stories take a different turn in the story telling. Through the Eyes of Grizelda and The Great Vermin were created by Jason Lenox and David Paul, illustrated by Jason Lenox, Dani Kaulakis, Damon Haigh, Joseph Freistuhlerand, and colored by Dani Kaulakis.

 Through the Eyes of Grizelda takes place in what was once a golden empire known as Xendria but now ravaged by centuries of war. We follow Grizelda, a feline companion to a powerful and feared Necromancer Amon Kadesh. Amon Kadesh is the stagnant ruler of this empire and we find him in a battle with those brave enough to cause an uprising and end his reign. But the necromancer would never give up so easily; he has the ability to call out the Great Beast and end this battle.

 Instead of what most books would do and follow a good hearted hero in a quest to stop an evil entity, this tale does the complete opposite. It follows the vessel for the Great Beast of the Necromancer! While Grizelda easily makes her way back to the necromancer, we see the valiant warriors storming into a castle full of the living dead and cutting their way to Amon Kadesh. Right when they believe they have victory in their hands, Amon Kadesh chants the spell to release the Great Beast. In just a split moment, the tables have turned in this epic battle. This is an original and awesome story to catch and could easily continue as a stand alone comic.

 The Great Vermin follows Xeno Habilis Exterminus team leader Veer and his company with a mission to exterminate the scourge species X2987. They land on the planet that has these “Great Vermin” to eradicate them because they swarm across the stars like locusts, spreading famine, pollution, and disease. Without going into too much detail, this story was short, sweet, and had an awesome twist. While it is only a few pages, it definitely did the job. It is a great read and follows the quality over quantity guidelines that we rarely see these days.

 All in all, Ugli Studios Presents Volume 1 is an anthology that is both surprising and impressive. Each story had its own turn of events in which does not follow the norm, and it worked out perfectly. Ugli Studios Presents Volume 1 is a full color comic with some great pin-ups, and is available with autograph and shipping included for $6 or digital copy for $2.99.
