He wakes up and crushes the alarm clock. Again.

He's two hours late for his shift. Again.

There's an eviction notice on the door.

He can also lift a bus.

What this is

Ryan Torm got powers. Strength, flight, speed, the whole list. He became Titanium, and Vise City decided he was its symbol of hope. The media loves him. Children draw him. For the first time in his life, somebody sees him.

The problem is that they see Titanium.

TITANIUM #1: Hope Has a Shadow is a 150+ page original graphic novel about what happens to the person underneath when the mask becomes the only part of you anyone wants. It has the fights. It has the city. But it's really about the roof at 2am, and the man who's still up there, alone, talking to a bird.

Who's making it

Kasra Mafi created Titanium, wrote it, and paid for the first chapters out of his own pocket before asking anyone for anything. Hardy K drew, coloured and lettered them.

The pages you're about to read already exist. They're not concept art and they're not a pitch. The Kickstarter is to finish the rest of the book, and Titanium #1 is the first of a planned run of connected stories in the Audax universe.

This is the beginning.
