Is “Q”the Graphic Novel the Next African American Super Hero?
Raising $29,000 in 30 days for what may be the next Big Super Hero Graphic novel is no small feat, but a local San Franciscan has created something that just might go beyond his wildest dreams. Odis Chenault of Kelon Productions has created what some are calling the next; forget Black Super Hero, but possibly the next Super Hero franchise period. More than just your average comic Graphic Novel, “Q”, not only grabs your attention with the jaw dropping art by the Award Winning Artist and Colorist at 133art Studio, but the story alone takes you on a ride. “A man from Earth is chosen by the “Living Galaxy” to receive amazing powers. Two days later the Earth is conquered and he is forced to decide between saving the Earth or billions of other worlds. He must make his decision while trying to survive in the Galaxy Games. With a “Living Galaxy” that handles problems by giving power to an individual in an affected area, “Q” creates a new dimension for Science Fiction Super hero novels. With twisting story lines that keep you surprised and quirky characters that keep you guessing, you’ll become a “Q” fan in no time.
“A dream come true”, for comic book, super hero and science fiction fans? Yes, but without the funds to take their project to the next level it might take years before their product can leave their drawing boards. After mounting pressure from some loyal sci-fi fans, friends and family to complete the book, Odis knew he had to find a way to get it done. But he soon realized with the expensive cost for art work, and printing looming, it may require him to put his graphic novel project on hold until he could raise the funds to produce it. Determined to push through the financial road blocks, Odis attempted to pay for the art work one page at a time. However, “being responsible for the obligations of taking care of my family in this economy makes it almost impossible to finance this project on my own,” says Chenault. This is why he’s decided to run a Kickstarter campaign to try and crowd-source the $29,000 necessary to continue the art work, and publish the book. Kickstarter campaigns operate under an “all-or-nothing” funding model so if the “Q” Graphic Novel project doesn’t reach its goal at the end of 30 days then Odis Chenault goes home empty-handed.
