When the first issue of GhettoManga Quarterly was printed way back in 2008, it had an ad on the back cover for a webcomic called BlackGuard, paid for by the Brothers of Spontaneous Combustion also known as the Smith Brothers.
Now the BoSC team is turning their hilariously irreverent story of a Civil Rights Era super hero leading a team of super-villains against the forces of evil into an extremely cool series of cartoon shorts.
BlackGuard works as a parody of books like Thunderbolts and Suicide Squad, as well as a satirical look at the gap between different camps in the black community.
It is a story that exemplifies what we stand for here at GhettoManga, and it has never looked better!
BLACKGUARD Episode 01
When a dimwit in an armored ape suit goes King Kong on a major city, the Department Overlooking Ultrahuman Crime and Harmful Endeavors finds itself in a tough spot. With the professional superheroes on strike, the Departments only choice is to deploy the Blackguard, an experimental team of super-powered inmates, training as heroes. Under the command of former crime fighter, Eli Mercer; the Blackguard, (Afia Melanin, Darius Doome, Jonny Staples and O.D.A.N.,) are the only ones left to stop this new threat… or potentially make things worse.
Welcome to episode 01 of #projectblackguard
What started off as a webcomic by BOSC comics, has now stepped into the world of animation, through collaboration with BadART Prod.
