About the Project

"TITANS" is a 2012 mythological/fantasy-action comic book written and created by new indie comic writer Johnny Mack. The project was previously named Battle for the Throne before being officially named TITANS and is a re-imagining and “re-mixing” of stories from Greek, Norse and Egyptian mythologies to tell the overall story of the impending retirement of God and the ensuing battle over who will become the next “Supreme” ruler.

The Plot: Years after the second Titanomachy, the heroes, demi-gods, gods and goddesses of the Olympian pantheon live in relative obscurity in a realm parallel to the modern world known as the “Gleaming”. Their powers already weakened from their lack of worshipers, Zeus and the other Olympian gods are all but forgotten. However, God the Supreme ruler has decided that mankind has grown in leaps and bounds to be a kinder, fairer, gentler race, although still plagued with some issues; God has decided that he is ready to retire from his job as supreme ruler. With the position needing to be filled, God decides to open the position up to the other gods. Using, Hermes, Ceryx, Pygor and Idris as heralds to summon the Olympians to the Grand Hall, God explains that he is going into slumber and that his seat as supreme ruler is up for grabs, only thing is that the gods must battle for the throne with the last one standing crowned as the new supreme ruler.

Our Goal... is to print the first run of issue one of TITANS “In the Beginning” and premier it at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con and the 2012 Indianapolis, Gen Con conventions. Comic books are expensive to produce and with this in mind we are turning to kind supporters such as yourselves in an effort to raise 20,000 to get this project off the ground. Funds raised here on our Indiegogo site will cover cost such as; paying for artist, printing cost, promotional materials, travel, hotel accommodations and other production and con-related expenses; we are unable to pay for out of pocket which is why we are asking YOU the people of Indiegogo to make this possible. Without your support, this project will take longer to get off the ground and may even fold…so we are counting on you and your donations.

In return for your kind donations we are offering a host of rewards...our way of saying "Thank You" for supporting out project. These rewards include: signed editions of issue one, arts books, shoutouts, becoming a character in an up coming issue, a dvd copy of; "TITANS: Road to the Cons" featuring our journey through the production of the comic to reasching the cons, and much...much...MORE!!!

If we exceed our goal we will put the extra funds into packaging & shipping of rewards to you guys, prinitng more copies of issue one and towards the production of issues 2-12 that we can take with us to other cons. However, if we don;t meet our goal the project will become more difficult to accomplish as shipping & other cost will have to come out of our pocket and will take much MUCH longer to get to you!
