Get ready for a riveting new addition to the comic book universe! The Knight – a gripping crime thriller likened to a fusion of “Batman” and “The Wire” – is now live on Kickstarter. This series promises to deliver a thrilling narrative, steeped in themes of redemption and social conflict, all wrapped in the gritty backdrop of Washington, DC.
The driving force behind The Knight is a talented ensemble of creators, including writer C. Edward Sellner, artist Mario Torrisi, color artist Paul Little, and graphic artist Jacob Bascle. Together, they aim to bring readers an epic comic that stands out within the Visionary Creation shared universe, which will feature a diverse range of stories across various genres and timelines.
The Knight revolves around a brutal crime syndicate embroiled in a war that affects the city’s children. The narrative raises the question: Who truly is the Knight? Is he the morally ambiguous rogue government agent Kincaid? The disillusioned priest Fr. William Bennett? Or perhaps the frustrated police detective Miguel Jimenez?
The plot thickens when David Michaels, a desperate drug dealer, finds himself crossing paths with the Syndicate and its fearsome leader, Charon. After a brutal confrontation, Michaels is left beaten and forced to go underground, prompting a chain of events that intertwines the fates of the series’ key characters.
As the first ongoing series in the Visionary Creation shared setting, The Knight lays the groundwork for many stories that will span different times and worlds. Each trade collection will be a self-contained tale featuring its own central focus and cast of characters. Yet, what ties these narratives together are the subtle connecting threads—from simple Easter eggs to larger story arcs that converge during special events.
Join this thrilling journey that blends the dark elements of crime with the heroic quest for redemption. Rated T for Teens / PG-13 and is set to resonate with readers of all ages. Check out the Kickstarter page HERE!
