THE STORY
Megabrain Comics brings you the first series in their neo-medieval™ apocalyptic trilogy; AMERICAN DARK AGE which takes place in a near future when a mysterious event renders all combustion based machinery, weapons and electrical technology impotent and useless. The story focuses on Katherine Brody, a young punk singer from Oregon and her rise as an unlikely warrior in a world that no longer recognizes itself.
AMERICAN DARK AGE thrusts the reader in to this archaic landscape and asks not only who you were before “The Blackout” but who will you be after, with so much righteous destiny and sinister opportunity laid before you to be picked at with the tip of a sword.
Brody’s journeys take her and a small band of Marine Corps “Knights” from the bloody shores of California across the now harsh and lawless landscape of the United States to an end that will change the face of a nation forever.
Filled with political intrigue, character drama and ultra-violent sword clashing battle scenes, AMERICAN DARK AGE takes a new look at the American spirit and what people can achieve and destroy when they set their mind to it
“Did you read The Walking Dead or Kick-Ass BEFORE they were big mainstream movies?
Don’t you wish you could say you had?
American Dark Age is a beautifully drawn, sensitively written mash-up of swordplay, religious conspiracy, and punk-rock twenty-something drama.
It’s the perfect elevator pitch- “Army of Darkness meets The Road Warrior.”
Read it now- or you’ll pretend you did later!”
–John Hazard creator of Frankenstein Superstar.
“…a fun romp into Armageddon, with a side-serving of punk rock and a kick arse heroine to boot.”
–Emmet O’Cuana writer @ Comic Booked
“Taylor’s art throughout is of a fantastic quality. She manages to fill every frame without making it just feel like filler, everything is in there for a reason. Heavy metal sensibilities abound giving the overall product a feeling somewhat similar to that of Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley’s The Melting Pot.”
“You could be forgiven for thinking that American Dark Age was published by one of the big guys. The art and writing are both of a professional standard, giving me no doubt that these crazy kids will make their way onto the payrolls of the big guys in no time.”
–Ryan Huff writer @ The Geek of Oz and Tastes Like Comics
