After Atlantis: Bloodbound graphic novel excerpt
Nothing like superheroes from the perspective of the little guys.
In a world of superheroes, Jayesh has a rare healing power that he uses in the local hospital. When teenagers are admitted with feather-patterns burned into their backs, Jayesh is reluctantly drawn into the underworld of black market magic smuggling.
A chance encounter with Omniscient, the villain in charge of the smugglers, leaves Jayesh with his magic shattered. A portal to the hospital goes wrong and Jayesh is instead sent to an island in another dimension: an island that has awaited its Bloodbound for centuries. In exchange for healing, he is magically bound to the island, and half his magic is turned into a tiny dragon.
Now, with the help of the Islesworn, James Chase, Jayesh must go undercover to recover the mysterious Pandora. But this means facing off with Omniscient, a villain who can bring a person’s fears to life—and who is increasingly ruled by his own power.
There are currently 64 pages, bringing us to about the middle of the book. Here’s the latest chunk of the story. Jayesh is working undercover for the villain Omniscient, but the superheroes hunting Omni have mistaken Jayesh for the real mastermind. Having been captured and released by the cops the previous night, Jayesh goes to Omniscient knowing that his cover may be blown already…
That’s as far as the comic has gone, but I’m drawing a couple of pages a week because this part is GOOD. You can follow the comic here! Or you can read the book here!
