Enchanted Death

Comic Unknown's Epidemic 

The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics to date killing a fraction of the human population on earth. Taking place in the mid-1300s, Europe was facing their greatest hardship and the plague showed no signs of stopping. People were finding their ways of coping either by punishing themselves for defying God or punishing each other. One way or another, people were being buried and numbers were dwindling. The outbreak wasn't only affecting humans but something more enchanted. The Aos Si ('ay-oss shee'), fairy-like beings who possess magical powers are too fading from the world. The prince of the Aos Si, Twylyth Tegg just lost his father to the disease and is now the newly appointed king. Shortly after his father's death, Tegg sets out to find and protect any and all of his people both from the plague and humans. This leads the readers to Danann an English fairy who wants to give humans the benefit of a doubt. She wants to believe the tales told by her godmother how humans long ago were peaceful and endearing. To her dismay,  her home is being annihilated and her friends and family slaughtered by Jean De Moray and his wolves. Danann barely escapes and is injured.

Only with a cloak she found on the muddy floor, she hides her wings from any mortal to see. Weak and helpless as she is, Danann falls in front of a young friar who lost his faith during the Black Death. King Tegg and Warbishop Moray are on the trail of Danann but will one of them find her first or will the friar find out who Danann really is? Plague #1 is a fantastic and well-written narrative thanks to the writing duo of Dennis MaGee Fallon and Jason Palmatier. The well-executed characters and back stories give the series the forward momentum into something that can be magnificent and enjoyable. Zach Brunner runs the visual aspect of the show as the Penciler, Inker, Colorist as well as a creator. His work is spot on as the story progresses and brings the series to life. The artwork  and lettering(done by Dave Sharpe) flows through the story smoothly and provides amazing content on every page. Plague shows a promising and refreshing take for most audiences as it is uses Irish folklore. The Plague issue One is readily available on Comixology for $1.99 and worth the read.

Chase to Nebulous

WELCOME BACK TO THE DESTINED JOURNEY AT COMIC UNKNOWN!

Scavenger Issue Two
Written by Kim Roberts
Art by Megan Huang

We return to the world of Arin, a desolate planet where the rich are freely enjoying their lives in the Floating City. We find our protagonist Aiden right where we left off from Issue 1 of Scavenger in search for answers. With the death of Aunt Maude in Tin City, the only option he has is to go to The Willow to search for the truth on what is going on. Trouble is not that far behind him considering that the Floating City is tracking his every move with the visions Laverne has with Aiden and  the Acurvina plant he is carrying. Finding out the truth about his mother and the innate magic he may possess, Aiden and company must escape Caleb and his fleet as they have been chased all the way to Nebulous a city filled with thieves. Aidan is now on the journey to find out what he must do to save his mother in Floating City and clearly become the hero he will soon be.

Scavenger Issue Two leaves the readers at the start of a journey which seems will eventually put us in a battle of brawn and enchantments. The artist's hard work puts us in the start of a new series as if it is a cartoon one may find on cable television and having us frantically waiting for the next episode the following week. The only difference between that and the comic is that the time frame is much longer than a week. We are hopeful to see how the story telling of Scavenger builds throughout the series and what other surprises comes out of the narrative. So far the Scavenger series is definitely a series to be keeping track of the release dates as well as enjoying the developing world of Arin. Scavenger Issue Two was released yesterday on Comixology for $1.99. Check out Markosia's website for any other comic or graphic novel they may be releasing in the near future.

Scavenged World

Comic Unknown's Treasured Story

Welcome to Arin, a planet with great industrialization that brought desolation to itself. Now it is considered a wasteland where only a small portion of the population were chosen to start a new life in a colony within the it's orbit. The king of the colony only wanted the best of the best to follow him to start this new life and a new race, those who were left behind are now considered Scavengers. Above all, the king wanted his legacy to continue and his children to be powerful. By doing so, he chooses the strongest witches within The Floating City to bear his children. Majority complied to his wishes, but one refused to give her child to the king. She smuggled her baby boy, Aidan, to the wastelands to live his life peacefully with a fellow witch from the willows. In exchange for his care, she was given Caleb to replace Aidan and live in the royal city. Twenty-five years go by and both are all grown up and without knowing their heritage. 

Their paths are bound to cross when the king finds out his authority is threatened and sends his "son" and an army to Tin City to eradicate the danger. What will be in store for the boys of Scavenger? Issue #1 of Scavenger is the origin story of Aidan's new journey as the hidden royalty with a hint of magic, born in the Emerald Palace inside the space colony, but lives in the wastelands. Written by Kim Roberts, Issue one is the prologue needed to jump start the series. The story builds at a steady pace and shows us a world with a dark history but potentially a revolutionizing future. While we now know where these characters came from, the mystery starts on what path these characters take. As for the art, don't take it lightly; Megan Huang did a splendid job designing the comic's world and sceneries. The story is violent and dark, however, there are scenes that ease that tension and harmonize the story as a whole. Scavenger #1 is an excellent sci-fi tale with a strong opening that'll keep the audience excited and leaves them pondering on the upcoming issues. Scavenger Issue One is a 24-page issue that will be a six part series. Scavenger Issue One is a brand new comic that is available digitally on ComiXology for $1.99. If you like to know more about the planet Arin and its inhabitants, you can follow its writer Kim Roberts on Twitter or check out Markosia's website.
