You look outside your window at the drab, mundane world, and you know-deep inside -- there must be a larger world -- a world of mystery, a world of adventure, a world of magic. You know the door to that world awaits you, that calls to you in your dreams, but where is it? If you had the means to find the door, would you cross the threshold?
After a six-year hiatus, comic-book veteran Shon C. Bury returns to ask readers those same questions -- and to provide answers with "Threshold" a five-issue comic book series from Narwain Publishing that explodes and explores Joseph Campbell's Hero Cycle.
With that in mind, protagonist (and) Joey King was created. Joey King is a comparative-mythology student. As such he's fully aware his footsteps where mapped thousands of years before he ever read 'Hero with a Thousand Faces'.
When he receives a mysterious journal, a magickal staff, and an amulet that is as ancient as it is strange, Joey enters a world of demons, Goddesses, and mystical gurus, with little time to prepare before the Krill Shadow Wraiths attack.
"'Threshold' is a road trip story," Bury said. "It's as much about the journey as it is the destination. We've all read a million comics and seen a thousand movies. We all know how things will end…so why not focus on the getting to that end?"
Artist Allan Goldman, who penciled "Jalila" for the recently launched AK Comics, joins Bury on the hero's quest. "Allan's a veteran Brazilian penciler," says Bury. "When I saw Allan's art I knew he was perfect for this book."
Kubert School grad Ed Waysek provides the colors for the book.
"Threshold #1" is 32 full color pages and retails for $3.99 USD. You'll find it on page 310 of the March Diamond Previews catalog.
