Resurgent: The Rise of Lazarus Issue 1

A graphic novel series created and written by B. Van Randall (Illustrated by Duddy Pratama).

Synopsis:

Fear, distrust of the government and political bipartisan squabbles have caused all of the states of the original union to secede. Each state is now its own country and each city is now its own state. Each country has developed its own cryptocurrency as its national currency. For the People’s Republic of Michigan the national currency is Michicoin.

The Neo Civil War of Secession has left many of the people of the People’s Republic of Michigan in a state of destitution. Displaced citizens scramble to survive as warlords, crime bosses, former military leaders and heads of notorious street gangs claim districts within the state of Detroit to rule with apparent sovereignty. The citizens suffer at the hands of these self-appointed rulers with seemingly no relief or advocacy.

A ruthless crime boss turned supreme ruler, Summa Domhnall Wynn, has founded the Xagon district. Wynn has used his ruthless gang members, turned military fighting force, to inflict genocide. His mission is to ensure that Xagon district maintains its power and that he maintains control over the district.

But, in the midst of absolute despair, there is hope. There is a young boy named Kamran Khan, who possesses a unique gift that if discovered would be a threat to him and his family. Kamran's gift could liberate those living under the oppressive reign of the Summa and the Suol.
