You wanna get down with Govea, Nunez and Zarate's upcoming gamerverse comic ALT CONTROL DELETE? #KickstartThis



Here's the sales pitch:
A comic book mini-series set in a world where games are transfused with nearly every aspect of life and the singularity approaches. 
THE TEAM Alt Control Delete is a collaboration between writer Ramón Govea, DC/Wildstorm & Lion Forge Comics artist Eddie Nuñez, & the incredibly talented colorist Ander Zárate, who has painted for Marvel, DC Comics, and BOOM! Studios among others. 
THE STORY Set in a futuristic world where video games have evolved into a virtual reality professional sport. Technology and games permeate nearly every aspect of life in a culture that thrives on games and competition and a society where XP is currency. The prevalent philosophy of this society walks the border of trans-humanism: man and machine are beginning to merge, but not everyone is happy about it. 
In Alt Control Delete: Collapse, rising star and professional gamer, Tess is in pursuit of her AWOL friend. When Tess's secret investigation leads her deep into the gaming underbelly of New Angeles, she is faced with a choice: risk her tournament standings and follow her friend's trail or return to the safety of the compound and forget what she's seen.

 In case you don't know, these dudes are serious, yo...
If you aren't familar with Eddie Nunez's art, let me just say son has got the goods, and there are other big names involved too. This book will most certainly end up with a publisher, but I am always excited to see creators jumping out and building their own foundation via crowdfunding. Especially when they want to create diverse characters. Sure, we're seeing the major publishers experiment with it, but indies have home court advantage when it comes to diversity.
So anyways, CLICK HERE to hit up their Kickstarter campaign and see all the different rewards and what-not.

Peace,

Samax Amen draws people, places and things for fun and profit. He is the artist of many great comics you never heard of like Herman Heed, Champion of Children, The Brother and The World As You Know It. He even writes and draws his own comics, like Dare: The Adventures of Darius Davidson, Spontaneous, and Manchild when he gets around to it. Because making comics is hard and stuff, he started GhettoManga as a blog in 2006 and as a print magazine in 2008.
