Incoming Intel Report Following Annihilation of Command Center 276


Reports indicate there are three types of Offbots: B-Models, M-Models, and I-Models.

The first robot model closely encountered in the fire fight was the M-Model, which stands ten feet tall. They are proficient in melee combat. They are equipped with an arsenal of retractable Mercurian blades that appear to emanate out of their arms.

Avoid engagement at close range.

Incoming Transmission: Laser Jo

Hey, all you hominids and space junkies out there! This is Laser Jo reporting from Command Center 276. I only have a short time before the mercs arrive and then its curtains for me. So, let's make this short! War Of The Sun is an epic comic story of stellar proportions. It's about heroes and invaders...my kinda story...OH NO, time to fly! How 'bout the creators tell you a little something while I bag me some TRASH!

Introducing the two guys that are welding this machine together:

Hi, this is Naji. I’m the author and conceptual designer of the War of the Sun. It has been a long time dream of ours to contribute a tale or a series of tales to the world of science fiction and fantasy. I grew up as a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien often spending hours in the library heavily involved in these stories, believing I was alongside these characters slaying dragons and avenging dwarves. A friend later introduced me to James Clemens and his “The Banned and The Banished” series whose unconventional take on the world of fantasy opened doors in my imagination. After revisiting some of my favorite sci-fi films and books I became entranced by the cityscapes of “Blade Runner” and drawn in by the overwhelming horror of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” and his creatures. I decided subsequently that my goal with this project was to combine the historically rich worlds of fantasy epics with the bizarre and oftentimes terrifying elements of science fiction. I’ve been familiar with Evan’s unique artistic skill for many years so he was naturally my first choice for collaboration. I’m confident that he will produce something no one has seen before.


I'm Ev-man, the illustrator and visual designer for War Of The Sun. It's a great honor working with an awesome story teller. Naji's vision is so grand that it allows my imagination to run free when it comes to translating his words into art. This is certainly the first major collaboration of ours with many more anticipated for the future. To give you some of my background, I have been drawing for a long time covering all sorts of mediums. I was always drawn to the merging of greatly skilled art works used in "lesser valued" mediums like comics and cartoons. We have high hopes that War Of The Sun will feed that insatiable hunger for a high quality comic with copious amounts of kickassedness.

Stay tuned for more updates from us as we put everything together. Keep an eye out 'cause we may be seeing you at next year's Comic-Con.

Welcome

After centuries of colonization, mankind decays beneath the weight of the economic and ecological disasters of industrial civilization. The last vestiges of the species wade through the rubble of once great cities and nations, desperately clinging to a desire for prominence. As they loudly proclaim dominion over Earth, all that is heard is a quiet death rattling through space…

Greetings fellow space travelers and welcome to our site! We humbly invite you to join us on a great quest to discover the mysteries of our solar system. From the fiery surfaces of Mercury to the icy domain of the Kuiper Belt. What secrets will unfold, about our origin, in order to preserve our destiny?

This question and many more will be up to you to answer as we prepare for battle in the...
