He emphasized the significance of representation and the empowering ability to forge one’s own path.
The Kickstarter campaign for Evermind invites fans to contribute to the realization of this project while embarking on an enthralling creative journey alongside the talented team. The comic book serves as a platform for potential future adaptations, opening up a world of possibilities.
Chen has shared that at the core of Evermind lies the complex relationship between a scientist father and his teenage daughter, torn apart by conflicting ideologies but reluctantly bound together by extraordinary circumstances. Drawing inspiration from the nuanced dynamics between Steve Jobs and his daughter, Chen aims to delve deep into the intricate layers of this powerful familial connection.
As the story unfolds against the backdrop of pivotal events, readers will find themselves pondering whether the chasm between father and daughter can ever be bridged, and what destiny awaits the father’s soul.
