What is this?
It’s a comic book!
What’s it about?
Samuel Dillon and Katie Baker are Agents of Paradox. They travel through time and space, closing wormholes to prevent spillover from different eras.
Dillon hopes to one day save the lives of his wife and son. Katie wants to save herself from being dumped by her boyfriend. Chagatai Khan, the cyborg son of Genghis Khan, plans to conquer all of human history simultaneously, proving that he is worthy of his father’s name. Dillon and Katie must both come to terms with what they have lost, and choose stopping Chagatai over changing the past. It’s a story about not dwelling on tragedies, big or small, and moving forward with your life, because going back is never as easy as it seems.
That’s the whole series. It’s like if True Grit was Doctor Who. Except we only did the first issue so far, so it’s actually mostly about a dinosaur eating people in the 1980′s.
How do I read it?
Click on “Read Issue One” to go to our Facebook page, like us, and scroll down until you’re done reading it. Free and easy!
Or, if you’d prefer, you can can buy it through our store and read it on paper like your daddy used to. That’ll cost you a meager sum, because I have to pay to print and ship these things. But I will SIGN it for you, and throw in a few little bonuses, which is pretty neat.
Who made it?
JACK McGUIGAN (Words) wrote the story and did the word balloons. He has had a variety of day jobs, from playhouse salesman to dog walker to billboard designer, but all he really wants to do is write comic books. He lives in Chicago with his future wife and dog, and is usually wearing a hat.
JOHN FORTUNE (Lines) draws the comic, and does the ink lines over what he drew. He hasn’t given me his bio yet, but I can say with some certainty that he lives in St. Louis and owns a Kindle Fire.
VANESSA BECKMANN (Colours) is burgeoning young colourist from Alberta, Canada. She has worked on several short stories in the past, but Paradox is her first big project. She likes video games, dinosaurs, cartoons and comic books.
Will there be more?
We hope so! We’re currently nobodies with no publisher and no buzz surrounding us, but if you tell your friends (especially if they are your powerful comic book publisher friends) we can hopefully garner enough goodwill and excitement to justify doing (and pay for) more issues. There are 5 more scripts (120 pages) after this. Some of the characters die. Some don’t. Everyone learns valuable lessons. Unless they are dead.
