From Above comic book: Issue 5 thumbnailed

A productive day yesterday saw me finish the thumbnail layouts for Issue 5.

Synopsis

Melbourne City.

A sprawling metropolis built upon the

foundations of what was once known

as the state of Victoria.

Globalisation has seen governments

crumble and private corporations

rise to rule and police their own

sectors.

For those that live within the fortified

walls of these corporate utopias life

can be good.

But for the less fortunate there just

exists the day to day struggle; Trying

to eek out an existence in a volatile

and dangerous world.

Superpowered ‘Alphas’, unchecked

technological advancements, and a

society where traditional morality is

a long forgotten concept.

The future is a dangerous place and

there are so very few that will stand

up for the common folk.

Yet, in the face of such adversity,

sometimes there are those who will

make a stand for what is just...

Mixing elements of cyberpunk and

dystopian scifi with a touch of superhero

mythos. From Above presents a very

human tale about a group of people

fighting back against the oppression of

corporate governance.
