Two
of the most popular ethnic comic book publishers/animators
announce the release of their graphic novel Crimson Seed.
Featuring two of the most popular heroes from the 90's
Captain Africa and Purge, this novel is expected to revolutionize
the comic and graphic novel industry.
"It's been nearly eleven plus years since these characters
have appeared in print" says Roosevelt Pitt, Jr.,
publisher of AMARA Entertainment "For them to come
back together at this time to stop a threat to both their
cities and to human existence as we know it, is powerful."
"Both
heroes having been updated with new costumes, weaponry
and futuristic gadgets will have a strong impact on readers"
says Mshindo Kuumba of Mshindo I Creations who is responsible
for the heroes new look and illustrating the epic.
A full color graphic novel, Crimson Seed brings to life
a story of love, a tale of survival and the birth of an
immortal. Explosive with vivid imagery from Mshindo Kuumba
and a captivating script by Captain Africa creator Hunter
Wolf (aka Dwayne Ferguson, the creator of Hamster Vice),
this is certain to be a milestone in comic book history.
One not to be missed.
"I'm very excited to be working with such talented
creators on this project," Hunter Wolf of Diehard
Studio explains. "It's not often stories about strong
ethnic characters are told. We're constantly given drivel
dealing with urban nonsense and gang/hip hop this and
that. We have powerfully positive stories to tell to an
audience eager for something more than the usual buffoonish
comedy and gansta crap that's out there."
Set
in the futuristic cities of Egyptica and New Salem, Crimson
Seed introduces for the first time a new art style developed
by AMARA Entertainment and Mshindo I Creations, Maatuka.
"Maatuka means-to set free" Roosevelt explains.
"But actually its an art form combining African history
and culture using an epic cinema approach."
Look
for this graphic novel to be packed full of visuals that
will enlighten the senses by utilizing lush but impact
tones of color while introducing Kemetic influences never
before seen.
Release
date is slated for 2007.
