Septagon Studios C.E.O/Founder Nicola Defina is proud to announce the company’s first creator-owned project/title; Scorn, the independent comic book which made a strong impression at conventions across the United States.
"Scorn”
Written by: Kevin Moyers
Artwork by: Philipp Neundorf
On a quiet July night in Chicago, 19-year-old Michael Riggs witnesses the murder of his best friend at the hand of the notorious gang leader Robert Torres. In dealing with this horrific slaying and his own dark past, Michael has become obsessed, and will stop at nothing to avenge his friend's death.
Scorn is a dark tale of revenge that uses real Windy City locations as its backdrop. The writer also uses actual events to set the story in motion. The gritty and unique artwork from Philipp Neundorf brings this emotional tale to life.
“This has become a unique relationship over the past 8 months. I first came across Philipp Neundorf on various message boards and online galleries where his art was displayed. Through him I received the initial contact for Kevin Moyers and Scorn. I’ve heard about Scorn’s success at various conventions throughout the United States. I visited the site and happened to notice that the first issue was out. Upon reading, I simply fell in love with the book. At the time, Scorn was a true independent book, waiting to be picked up. So I emailed Kevin placing an offer on the table. Shortly thereafter he replied back stating his interest.”
Kevin Moyers had much to say about his book and his desire in writing it. “It has truly been a labor of love for me, and I would love to share it with comic book fans everywhere.”
“I can think of two words to describe why Scorn deserves to be seen. Philipp Neundorf. Not only is Philipp an amazing artist, he’s a loyal guy, and that’s hard to find. I went through several artists who gave up on the book before Philipp came along and tore right though it. Every time I look around, I find another project with his name on it. I have no doubt that Philipp will be a star in the comic world. His style is unique, and his dark, rough tones fit Scorn perfectly.”
The first issue will be the re-launch of the original convention product in color as apposed to the traditional black and white. ‘Scorn’ is a modern narrative of pure retribution and enthusiasm that truly comes from the heart. The re-launched ‘Scorn’ will fall into a new 4 issue miniseries titled ‘Obsessed’ The project is scheduled for publication by Septagon Studios in late 2005.
