MEET THE TEAMNUR “POPIA” IMAN—Pencils and Inks Iman is an artist from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia who works under the alias “Popia” as a conceptual artist by day, and as a comics illustrator by night. Working predominantly in the digital format, he has done preproduction art for numerous animated series, movies, and games. Although he works in various mediums, Iman’s true passion is comic books. With a very rich Asian background, his ultimate goal is to fuse his traditional culture
with epic sci-fi/fantasy and share his influences with a mass audience.Visit http://popia.deviantart.com/ for more info or email popiapounder@yahoo.com.
Sexy-but-sadistic cyborg Superfecta 5 intends to lead an attack on the legendary desert city of ZenZion — and take control of its plentiful resources at the behest of a despotic warlord named Kavanaugh.
When the leader of ZenZion is killed in the initial attack, his daughter Kathleen turns to ex-soldier and mercenary Daniel Cray for assistance. The problem: no one trusts Cray. And Cray trusts no one.
Kathleen offers Cray a deal; if he trains her “volunteer” army, she will pay for Cray’s return to Earth. She then provides Cray with an array of weapons long-since outlawed in ZenZion — for good reason.
Though Cray believes there is no way the city will avoid complete annihilation, he introduces a room of hapless students to the way of his fabled blade — the Malathane. Only six Swordsmen will make the cut. Even fewer will survive the battle.
