A Thrilling Mix of Sci-Fi and Mystery
Imagine a world where the lines between sci-fi, conspiracy theories, and giant robots blur. Enter Synap, a comic series that merges these elements into an electrifying narrative. Fans of Pacific Rim, Stranger Things, and Mobile Suit Gundam will find themselves at home in this futuristic saga. The brainchild of Chris Moses, Synap is visually brought to life by illustrator Andrea Giannini, with vibrant colors by James Offredi and meticulous lettering by Reed Hinckley-Barnes. The story unfolds in the near future, the year 2030. But, this isn’t just any comic; it celebrates diversity with a cast of biracial and nonbinary characters, adding depth and richness to the tale.
Two Covers, Double the Excitement
Synap doesn’t just offer an intriguing story; it also comes with two stunning covers. Cover A features the artistry of Ivan Tao, while Cover B showcases the work of Stephen Byrne. Chris Moses, the series creator, has poured his passion for UFOs, psychics, and conspiracy theories into this project.
