Hello All! I wrote a comic! I have read and loved comics since I was very young and it has been a dream of mine to write the script for a comic (or two, or three, or four…) for a few years now. And thanks to Chispa Comics, an imprint of the indie comics press Scout Comics, that is now a reality!
This comic is called The Thirteen Origins: Cloudbreak Issue #1. Here’s the description:
“The Thirteen Origins is a series of one-shot origin stories for the members of The Thirteen, a group of Mexicans and Mexican Americans who discover they are chispas, able to wield impossible powers.
When Myra Neblina discovers that she can summon and control storms on her eighteenth birthday, her father wants her to stay home and help on their family farm more than ever. But Myra has dreams of going away to study to bring long-term solutions to the problems brought on by climate change and pollution. On top of it all, every time she brings the rains to Robstown, she falls mysteriously ill. Caught between her father, her dream, and a greedy oil company CEO, Myra must decide what sort of spark she needs to be.”
This comic will be part of the Thirteen series origin stories. It was a pleasure to collaborate with the very talented artist, Verena Rodriguez, who illustrated this issue. Check out her other work!
