NEW COMIC RELEASE: THE ARCHIVE OF SOULS
While waiting to be able to continue The Girl Who Rode Away, new stories must come to light (hopefully they won’t suffer the same fate). So I'm proud to announce the release of The Archive of Souls, a new science fiction comic exploring immortality, memory and the true cost of living forever.
Set in the year 2489, humanity has conquered death through a revolutionary technology known as the Archive, a vast quantum network that preserves every human consciousness after death. For centuries, the system has been celebrated as the greatest achievement in history.
But when a hidden message appears from inside the Archive itself, everything begins to unravel.
"WE ARE NOT PRESERVED. WE ARE PRISONERS."
What follows is a journey into a mystery that challenges humanity's understanding of life, death and what it truly means to be human.
Featuring a cinematic visual style, philosophical themes and a story filled with secrets, discoveries and impossible choices, The Archive of Souls invites readers to question whether immortality is humanity's greatest triumph, or its greatest mistake.
