Ok folks....
First let me introduce myself, my name is Alex Bright, Alex Nelson is my pen name. Some of you may have never heard of me but I am a fellow net writer. I am author of the Broken Facades trilogy (shameless plug). I have been a huge fan of Dan since the shaper series. About 3 almost 4 years ago Dan started an amazing story called Imperialis Tellus it was a teaser for a story that Dan wanted to do. I like so many stories that come out of our crazy head it stopped. I have about 20 email a day asking the same questions about stories that I have yet to complete. When I first read the story I was blown away. Being a sci fi junky I beg and pleaded with him to restart and continue. But to no avail….I know Dan will put in his two cents pretty soon…..lol. Well finally after countless emails after email Dan finally wrote me back and kindly explained that he did have plans to continue, he just was working on other things. Well being the persistent person that I am I told him who I was, how I loved his story and really wanted to assist in taking this great story and doing something that I don’t think has ever been done before, and that was turn it into a TV show. Oh I forgot to tell you that I am a film student/filmmaker. Both Dan and I have work and put together this now incredible show. We are currently shopping it around but it was pitch to Henson production. Unfortunately they passed but we have not given up. Which brings me to the reason for this post. While the goal for the project is TV, I have started a new phase in gaining possible interest or ways of getting it to the masses…

May I present Imperialis Tellus the comic book…


Imperialis Tellus
By Daniel R Kirk Jr & Alex Bright.

Which is more important: your country or your planet?

When belief is contradicted by fact, what do you do?

If you had to choose between the certainty in saving the life of a young girl, or the possibility of saving the lives of an entire city, which do you choose?

Which would you prefer: Power supported by wisdom or Power supported by knowledge.

Earth is in danger. Unless something drastic is done, it will be no more than a footnote in galactic history within twenty Earth years. Will you give up everything in your life, your family, your friends, your job, and your future in order to help save your planet?

In 2006, hundreds of thousands of people around the world took a survey that included these questions. Several months later, they disappeared from the face of the Earth. Some were reported dead, others merely missing. They left behind family, friends, their careers and set off to learn the secrets of the universe.

Ten years later, in January of the year 2016, they have returned.

Appearing in a fleet of starships above the world they once called home, these humans who now call themselves the Tutatori have returned home to save the world on which they were born. They claim a friendly race of aliens known as the Ylatchee took them from Earth, taught them their technology, and have sent them back to offer Earth membership in their Empire. The Tutatori also bring dire warnings, that another race of aliens, the Dvora, are also out there and heading towards Earth.

The Ylatchee Empire is at war with the Dvora. The Ylatchee Empire has been fighting the Dvora for a thousand years, and taught the humans of the Tutatori that the Dvora are barbaric conquerors. If they reach an undefended Earth, the Dvora will conquer the planet, enslave the human race, and they will strip the Earth bare of its resources.

Instead, if Earth is willing to join the Ylatchee Empire, the home of humanity will have a chance to defend itself. As a member of the Empire, Earth stands to gain many things, not just military ships to defend from the Dvora threat. Cures for cancer abound, as well as cures for many diseases like AIDS, and genetic treatments for Parkinson’s. Other technologies include new engines that do not require oil-based products, and solar panels thousands of times more productive than anything know to Earth.

The humans of the Tutatori have been sent back home by the Ylatchee to convince their fellow humans that Earth joining the Empire is best for humanity. Can the idealistic and earnest members of the Tutatori convince a war-weary, suspicious, and untrusting Earth that they are telling the truth? Can the Tutatori convince the leaders of Earth to put aside sovereignty and greed in order to pave the way for a better future for all of humanity?

What of the Dvora? Are they really out there? Are they really hostile to humans, or can they be negotiated with? How far away are they, and what will happen when they finally find Earth?

This is the story of Imperialis Tellus.

We will be taking orders starting in July.....you can check out pictures on my blog at http://labelsareforcansentertainment.blogspot.com/

Alex is really to be commended on a lot of things. He is very persistent, and even managed to pester me enough about this project without pushing so hard I walk away. That's not as easy as it sounds, and Alex had done a really good job.

Most of the results you see from this project are Alex's work. All I've done is write and bounce around story ideas/plot/background stuff. Alex has been out there, making pitches, lining up opportunities, and has really blown me away with this comic adaptation. (By the way, the first cover looks REALLY good in color, much better than the Black and White version I saw). We both hope that by releasing the story in a comic format that we can build interest, and a wider fan-base.

It's real, folks, it's legit, and I hope you're interested...

It looks interesting The basic premise is an intriguing one, too. I remember reading some very old science fiction stories that had a similar basis -- two groups of aliens, each saying that Earth is better off allying with them because the other side will enslave them, etc.

It's a basic idea, but the trick is where to take it from there. Humans are perverse enough that you'll end up with some on each side

Keep us informed, please -- it's looking good.

Ahhhhh Dan you are soooo sweet.

Yea I can be a bugger.....Well I get the color teaser sometime today. It will be around 6 to 10 pages.....I am so excited. But seriously we really need to create a following, so everyone please support us. For subscripition information please email me at adisoc007@yahoo.com. I plan on priceing it at a nice rate, lower than the issue price. If you check out the Blog you can see 2 covers....Cover # 1 and a much later cover. That one have a suprise on it a look at the aliens.
