Arcana is proud to announce it’s coproduction with POW! Entertainment, LLC for the production and international distribution of The Unknowns, a new comic book universe.
Sean Patrick O’Reilly, CEO of Arcana, said, “Stan Lee was there when Arcana published our first comic book just over ten years ago. To be working with him on a new intellectual property and creating a new universe has truly been a dream come true!”
Chris “Doc” Wyatt (Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, Napoleon Dynamite) has been at the creative helm at the project. “Working with Stan and Sean has been fantastic. The Unknowns is Ben Ten meets Men in Black with a rock and roll soundtrack.”
Two average teens help alien protectors disguise themselves as a touring rock group in order to take out undercover cells of invaders.
Stan LEE, said, “The Unknowns is an idea I’ve had for a while and bringing these characters to life with Arcana and Sean is exciting. He’s created his own comic book character army and he’s kind of a Canadian version of me.”
“Working with Arcana is giving us the opportunity to bring new characters to the Canadian market while expanding POW! Entertainment’s worldwide franchise into a new territory,” said Gill Champion, President, CEO and Director, POW! Entertainment.
