SUPANOVA MEDIA LAUNCH NEW TITLE BY HENRY CHEBAANE
Supanova Media are pleased to announce the launch of a new title: KINGDOM UNITED at THOUGHT BUBBLE this year. The action thriller x family drama has been created and written by Henry Chebaane.
This second comic series comes a year after the author published his acclaimed debut graphic novel THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES: Times of London, an epic steampunk Sci-fi saga set in an alternative, yet uncannily familiar King’s Cross between 1864 and 2024.
The new title ‘KINGDOM UNITED: Clean up London’ is a completely different story world set in a near-future London with a diverse cast of characters. It has been written as a four-issue self-contained story to be published quarterly between now and winter 2025.
‘Clean-up London’ issue one collects the first two chapters of the series with cover and art (chapter 1) by Fabio Jacomelli (Nathan Never, Agenzia Alfa) and art (chapter 2) by Marika Cresta (Captain Carter, Spider-Gwen, STAR WARS: Doctor Aphra, STAR WAR: The High Republic, Edge of Spider-Verse). The colours for the eight chapters are by Vittorio Astone (Maxwell’s demons, Canto, These Savage Shores).
WHO WILL CLEAN UP LONDON?
“Neeta Rao is a London botanist with a fondness for fungi and rescuing stray cats. Recently returned from a long study trip to South-East Asia, she looks forward to starting her first job at Kew Gardens.
All she wants is to study and follow in the footsteps of her late mother, a prominent Singaporean ecologist who died 30 years ago in unresolved circumstances. Following this tragedy, her father Anand Rajah moved to London with Neeta, started a cleaning business and eventually remarried to Suzy Smith, an English lawyer, with whom he has a son, Vikesh.
Now, the aging entrepreneur wants to retire and is concerned about who will succeed him. Family matters soon get more complicated as long-simmering issues erupt one after another, testing Neeta’s resolve and loyalties in ways she would have never suspected.
Meanwhile, the streets of London are descending into chaos, the prisons are full, the authorities are in meltdown, shady property development are turning the city into dangerous building sites, and gangs are terrorising the streets of the capital.
When the violence comes hitting home, Neeta must choose between staying a dutiful daughter and law-abiding citizen or turn the family business into a secret vigilante organisation to save her neighbourhood.”
SUPANOVA MEDIA will be in the RED SHIRT HALL table A15.
