Wild Oni #1: Purpose and Vengeance Come to Kickstarter in New Comic Series

Michael J. Florio is set to bring readers a dark supernatural fantasy series with Wild Oni #1. The six-issue limited series follows the journey of Morchika, a samurai warrior who submits to an oni demon that will grant him the power to exact vengeance on the shogun that put a blade to flesh and killed his family. The upcoming series is in pre-launch on Kickstarter and will weave a story embellished with the dark and twisted mythology coming to life.

Check out the description of WIld Oni #1:

After the death of his family, Morichika is left for dead by Daimyo’s command. Only in death does he discover true purpose, VENGEANCE!

We rarely come across a series that delves this deep into the dark corners of supernatural mythology. As an avid fan of Japanese folklore and samurai, this combines the best of both worlds into an emotionally charged story and the fantasy elements that fuse the likes of Ghost Rider with the timeless tales of samurai warriors.

This story will not only captivate those looking for fantasy elements that cranks it up a few levels with bloody violence and action. But it also grounds this journey by focusing on the tale of vengeance, family, and honor.

Michael J. Florio is a California-born, Southern-raised author, editor, podcaster, and motivator with a bachelor’s and master’s in creative writing for entertainment from Full Sail University. Mike is also a Comics Experience alumni, where he learned to perfect his writing from Andy Schmidt and Paul Allor, leading to a deep understanding of comics.

He followed his intrigue into the class of Jim Higgins, who taught him the finer details of editing. Since sharpening his skills, he’s edited and written for several comic publishers, including Advent Comics, Grok Comics, Super Serious Comics, Limitless Comics, and Smart Media. Mike continues to refine his understanding of the comics medium while supporting fellow collaborators with his fun and organic yet informative podcast, Comics’N’Poptarts as Inevitable Comics.

When Mike isn’t writing or editing comics, he spends time with his four wonderfully gifted children and his wife while typing away at his dreams of becoming a successful screenwriter.

You can head to the Kickstarter pre-launch page to be notified when the project launches and it surely will come packed with a variety of tiers plus add-ons to ensure you are fully equipped for this journey when Wild Oni #1 arrives.
