CHAMPION OF DEMA... What is it?

I have buckled down and started working hard on the stand alone comic project; Champion of Dema which I hope to have ready by the October MCM. But I bet you're all wondering what is this Champion Of Dema about... after all he keeps mentioning it on the social media sites but we don't know what it's actually about and it's not on the website. Well all that is about to change.

Let me start by giving you the low down on the story. 

Champion of Dema is about a young man named Kade Mabrin who’s forced to be a hero (or in this case a champion) but keeps trying to escape his responsibilities.

Every 10 years in Dema someone is magically chosen and seemingly at random to become the new champion (hero) of the city. Kade Mabrin has been chosen as the new champion of Tema to uphold justice and defend the city against evil beings known as soul-takers. Unfortunately for the city, Kade has no intentions of being a hero, instead he would rather spend his days gambling and partying.

This story is a little unique in the fact that it is going to have various elements of the African culture in it, so for example, a lot of the clothes will be African clothes.

Right now I'm in the process of designing the character Kade Mabrin and a few amazing artists have sent their ideas. Which one do you guys like best (keeping in mind he's supposed to be black)?

The various versions of Kade Mabrin done by 6 different artists.

Yellow LFCC was an educational experience

The London Film and Comic Con, attended by Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Jason Mamoa (Khal Drogo), Lena Headey (Cersie Lannister), David Hasselhof and yours truly. Yes it was an event filled with celebrity and the biggest was none other than moi ;p...

Yours truly enjoying episode 1 of Jinn

Hammer time... oh oh 

Successful MCM... Now looking forward to LFCC

So for the first time KIRUcomics attended the london MCM expo in May and we had an amazing time. We truly enjoyed the event, made new friends, sold some comics, had fun but most importantly of all we got the word out there.

Amazing fans purchasing a hardcopy of JINN

We were there doing our best to make sure everyone at least knows about us and spreading our work all over London and the UK (and hopefully all over the world). I'm glad to say we sold out of Episode 1 of Jinn, and most people that enjoyed 1 came back for 2 and 3... it was truly a successful weekend.

SHAMBLES! Law holding on to his own copy of JINN

Another awesome fan with a copy of JINN

But our work isn't done... even though May was successful, we didn't do nearly enough in spreading the word. That's why we are going to be at the London Film & Comic Con  (LFCC) this weekend in Earls Court screaming at the top of our lungs (metaphorically of course) so every can hear us. There are so many Manga lovers out there and we shall not rest until every single one of them have heard about KIRUcomics.

Remember our first ever blog entry (called The Declaration): "WE're going to make you all love MANGA mwuhahahaha… by the time We're done, people that never imagined they could enjoy a comic will be hooked on mine like angry birds."
