Yellowknifer Kody Ferron has an SA国际影视传媒業nfernalSA国际影视传媒� desire to see his comic book published.

Originally from Ontario and having graduated from the McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury, Ont. in May, Ferron has finally reached the point where heSA国际影视传媒檚 ready to release his literary project.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 going to be unrated, and thereSA国际影视传媒檚 going to be gore,SA国际影视传媒� he said of Infernal. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 not going to have a terribly dark tone, so the gore is kind of played off as light. The story is a cosmic sci-fi action comic that follows the story of sort of a mysterious hero. He finds himself without his memory and imbued with the power of a dying star, which obviously makes him incredibly strong. He gets mixed up with a character named Orion, who is sort of the main villain, and yeah, thatSA国际影视传媒檚 the gist.SA国际影视传媒�

Ferron is working to achieve publication through fundraising on Kickstarter, an online platform. HeSA国际影视传媒檇 raised $1,276 of his overall $7,000 goal earlier this week.

SA国际影视传媒淭he money from the Kickstarter is being put towards three issues,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭he idea behind that is, in order to get a comic published by a publisher, in order for them to take you seriously, you pretty much have to show up with three issues finished.

SA国际影视传媒淪o I just need the funds to make those issues, then I can take it to a publisher and say, SA国际影视传媒楬ey, print my story, please.SA国际影视传媒� And I can start making it a monthly comic.SA国际影视传媒�

According to Ferron, funding has hit a bit of a lull recently, but he has some announcements planned for his Facebook and Kickstarter that he hopes will stimulate interest.

As for Infernal itself and the work thatSA国际影视传媒檚 gone into it, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 some definite sci-fi inspiration that helped to influence its creation.

SA国际影视传媒淭hereSA国际影视传媒檚 a plethora of things that I could list for you, but ISA国际影视传媒檓 super, super passionate about sci-fi,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淟ike all the really high concept things, like the AI (artificial intelligence) taking over and trans-humanism and all that stuff.

SA国际影视传媒淎ll those kinds of things are going to play some kind of role in my story. Spawn is big influence on, sort of, my story building, but itSA国际影视传媒檚 not necessarily an influence on my artwork. Some of the bigger influences on my artwork would be like Star Wars SA国际影视传媒� thatSA国际影视传媒檚 a huge influence on a lot of people in the sci-fi (genre). Dune also.SA国际影视传媒�

Some characters in Infernal also reflect FerronSA国际影视传媒檚 love of comics. For others, his originality is on full display.

SA国际影视传媒淥rion, the way he carries himself, his aura, is sort of inspired by Darkseid (from DC Comics) SA国际影视传媒� this kind of like super-powerful sort of shrouded in mystery type character,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淪olis, I donSA国际影视传媒檛 know what inspired him really, I just thought a fire character would be really interesting.SA国际影视传媒�

FerronSA国际影视传媒檚 work on Infernal also shows a deeper storytelling angle than the basic good-versus-evil concept.

SA国际影视传媒淪olis, the main character, is meant to be representative of, kind of humanity and the struggle of existentialism, hence the sort of amnesic origin, but also the superpowers,SA国际影视传媒� he explained. SA国际影视传媒淗e has his superpowers, but he doesnSA国际影视传媒檛 know who he is, what heSA国际影视传媒檚 supposed to be doing, where he came from, all of these things. And these are kind of what heSA国际影视传媒檚 uncovering throughout this tale.SA国际影视传媒�

Infernal was originally the title meant for an older piece Ferron was working. However, the link between the title and his sci-fi story using a dying star as a key plot point made for an excellent match.

SA国际影视传媒淎s I started drawing the comic, it just kept going towards sci-fi because what informs your comics is how you draw,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淪o I kept the name Infernal because of the idea of the dying star that I had, even earlier than the idea of the name Infernal.SA国际影视传媒�
