I may not have the same experience as a 30-year veteran comic book professional such as David Finch or John Livesay, but what I do have is an unbridled passion and love for telling stories. It is my ultimate goal to start a comic book revolution. Bringing back meticulously detailed art, an outlandishly unique story, and hopefully something that can deeply resonate with readers on a personal level. This book is the first step in that journey!

The Team

Artist/Creator Joshua Derstine is joined by Inking legend John Livesay (Marvel/DC/Image), Colorist Andrew Dalhouse (Marvel/DC/Valiant), Cover Artists Rob Willis (Image) and Caanan White (Marvel/DC/Image), to round out an All-Star team of talent! The comic will be drawn with insane detail for 32+ pages.

And if that wasn’t enough, one of the greatest artists in all of comics, David Finch has also done a cover for the book! In fact, he’s drew it LIVE, on YouTube!! You may recognize his work from titles such as Batman, Moon Knight, The Avengers, Wonder Woman, and many, many more. If you purchase any of the perks, you will be entered into a raffle to win the Finch original art of the cover.

The Story

An epic legend set in the distant future. 
Magic has been industrialized and altered into a synthetic drug that once injected, uniquely affects each user depending on their blood type and DNA makeup, granting a distinctive set of powers and abilities. Explore the journey of a man haunted by the past, and discover what it could mean for his future…

Character Bio:

In Inuit mythology the Amarok is a lone wolf said to stalk and devour any person foolish enough to hunt alone at night. Our lone vigilante will be doing plenty of hunting, all in an over-the-top energetic 90s art style! He uses his magic drug-enhanced blood to power ancient artifacts, ruthlessly rampaging across the city…
