The story follows young Lord Gabriam, who has tremendous ability and power in which he seeks to use to his advantage. He is cruel, cocky and extremely stubborn. While his father tries to give him advice on how not to abuse his power and conduct himself in an orderly manner, Gabriam simply doesn’t not listen.

Meanwhile, the villains see how the brat is behaving and plan to take advantage. The problem is not with Lord Gabriam specifically, but in the end he will be affected tremendously. Lord Gabriam doesn’t help matters and throughout the comic, continues to be a hated character. His arrogance will simply keep readers on edge. What will happen to him?

At the site, I'm a music, television and graphic novel kind of guy and that's what I'll be writing for the most part. Expect some book and music reviews as well though [insert demon horns here]. I grew up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, the same neighborhood many of the best mafia films of our day were based on, idolizing guys like Robert Deniro, Martin Scorsese and Al Pacino. I'm also a big sports fan and follow the New York Yankees immensely.

  1. I really enjoyed the first issue and I’ll have to agree that it starts really slow. I’m also glad I got my copy signed by H. Rashid at comic con.
