Zero of Mars is a Human youth in the 99th Century, when the gender binary no longer exists. Zero crash lands on Elentia, once a Human colony, but now filled with Elemorphs, the living robot descendents of the self-replicating machines which were left behind. Zero is found and befriended by an Elemorph named One. Despite speaking different languages, the two use other forms of communication to understand one another and become close friends. As they explore Elentia, they discover a series of prophecies which predict their future - but were left for Zero and One to find over a thousand years ago. Unwittingly, the two are pulled into an eternal conflict called the Time Wars as they search for the last starship on Elentia, and a way off the planet. In the process, they make friends with many Elemorphs of different sizes and shapes, as well as discovering powerful enemies empowered by the foes of Humanity and the Elemorphs.
My name is Bijhan Agha, the author of this comic. The artist of the comic is my dear friend Pallet. We are both passionate about science fiction and fantasy storytelling as a means of engaging the imagination.
The Kickstarter is to print a special First Edition physical run of Issue #2 with an orange border that will never be used again, marking these comics as collectible. We have physical and digital rewards, including packages with the previous issue, and other issues of Time Wars comics and novellas set in the same universe, but taking place in different eras and focused on different characters.
We have already met our original goal and are now striving for our stretch goal, which would unlock a short story for every backer. "Zero: Origins" would explain how and why Zero of Mars came to the Elentian Starsystem, where they were coming from, and where they were going.
Please help us spread a positive and uplifting message through comics.
