This is the first comic book that I wrote after switching from comics from writing screenplays. This comic means a lot to me for the fact that it took over a year and a half to finish! I went through many artist who weren't dedicated enough to the concept and finally had a freelance artist, JC Grande, to complete the book.
This book was eventually published through my brand, Im a Geek. It has had interest from other publishers including Markosia and 215 Ink, before I self published. The cover was done by the wonderful Chris Binns, colors by Ernest Jocson, letters by Bernie Lee.
For the story of Parallel Dilemma, it'sfocused around Benjamin, 20 something year old man with a fiancée that went off to WWIII to fight for his country when his life dramatically changed. While fighting in the jungles of Korea, he spots a sniper in the distance and while trying to save his soldiers from their fatal destinies, he gets shot in the stomach. In the realization of what was happening, and all of the emotions from looking at a picture of his fiancée Benjamin utters a wish… that he was never there. After passing out from his wound Ben wakes up back in his apartment with his fiancée Jessica, one of the local television news reporters. Everything of that gloomy jungle is erased from everyone’s mind, except his and the Reapers. The Grim Reaper granted Benjamin’s wish with one price in mind… to ferry souls (to capture and transfer souls of the unliving into the afterlife) to repay the price of his own. Benjamin struggles with this newfound dilemma, battling his job of ferrying souls and to his instinct of saving lives. Through his dilemma, he must try to live his normal life which includes his day job and his planning of his wedding and future wife. Supernatural/Sci-Fi.
The series is suppose to be a ongoing one, but I'm currently in the midst of finding another artist to continue the series, so I'll keep you updated on that progress...
