Carpet Bomb Comics – Help Their Self Published Comics Happen

Carpet Bomb
Comics, founded by Small Press Idol 2009 winner Erik Hendrix
and fellow Small
Press Idol Alumni Michael Nelsen are getting ready to
release their first two
books into the market, Faction issue 1 (follow up
to the Small Press Idol
winning project) by Erik Hendrix, Arnie Gordon,
Jon Bolerjack, and Giuseppe
Pica, and The Citizens, by Erik Hendrix,
Michael Nelsen, and Ibrahim
Mustafa.

Of Faction, HeroSpy.com says, the "plot-line,
character development, and
dialogue is wonderful… Erik… has done an
incredible job of writing a
script that, while having complex characters, and
concepts, never seems to
become overwhelming" and GeekSyndicate.com describes as "the start of
an
epic and global supernatural adventure."
Faction tells the story of a
former Marine, Acker Kinney, who loses an arm
in conflict only to find
himself attacked by a demonic minion, saved by a
secret society, and wrapped
into a struggle between warring
Factions in
the backdrop of the near future. The schemes of gods, the
desires of
demons, the powers of nature, myth, and the supernatural – all set
forth
to control a world the Society has sworn to protect. This is Faction.
The
Citizens tells the story of a group who has decided the best way
to
protect humanity, is to control humanity, by any means they
deem
necessary. Tired of this totalitarian action, and sitting idly by
while
those who have sworn to save lives have taken a dark turn,
Kenneth
Hastings must enlist some old friends if he hopes to set things
right,
even if they resist the call. This is the first issue in a
twelve-part
twisting saga of death, mystery, passion, change, and the
invention of a
new age of heroes.
