About the concept

 

New evil, new hero

Blackfury embodies a superhero of a new kind, an out-of-category «hyper» hero, a fusion between the spirit of the samurai and the most advanced nanotechnology.

A futuristic warrior with extraordinary bone and muscular densification qualities combined with strange and advanced combat techniques, he is equipped with an armor cut from the most resistant material in the universe, menta-graphene, a black material controlled by the mind.

Contrary to the many examples of the solitary superhero, the Asian born couple formed by Blackfury and the intrepid Sky Chen holds an important place in the plot, which will only grow in the course of the adventures. A choral work with many characters, Blackfury evolves in the midst of a Shakespearian family drama with a narrative rich in Homeric combats, beautiful women, mutant creatures, and a few touches of humor...

This «neo-comic», while retaining its great classical values, merges the multiple universes of world pop culture, imbued at the same time with the serial tradition of pulp comics and Japanese prints.

With elegance in the action.  With spirit in the plot.
 

About the Universe

 

Located in a distant future, the SciFi world of Blackfury echoes our own with some pop discrepancies that will always be fun to discover. The fusion of genres and the offbeat tone contribute to a dynamic and captivating story, but also serve its prophetic universe. Between MadMax Fury Road and Blade runner, this post-Google world resonates constantly between millennial traditions (warrior shamans, the Katarsian Empire), fantastic creatures (the Lion of the Mountains), and ultra-high technology (Blackfury armor, weapons, spaceships) The hybrid universe of Blackfury thus offers a new and offbeat proposal that will seize your attention.

Contrary to the many examples of the solitary superhero, the Eurasian orphan couple formed by Blackfury and the intrepid Sky Chen holds an important place in the plot, which will only grow in the course of the adventures. A choral work with many characters, Blackfury evolves in the midst of a Shakespearian family drama with a narrative rich in Homeric combats, beautiful women, mutant creatures, and a few touches of humor...

 

About the graphic treatment

 

An internationally recognized artist-illustrator, Stéphane Goddard proposes here an unclassifiable graphic universe, a marriage of traditional graphite drawing and digital: at once refined, powerful and minimalist. The look of Blackfury merges the Spartan helmet with the Asian typology of proud Mongolian warriors. His massive stature with the feline looks of a high-tech ninja gives him a posture worthy of classic American superheroes.

This goes perfectly with the finesse and Eurasian ultra-femininity of the sumptuous Agent Sky Chen, delivering us an incredibly stylish shock duo.

The elegance of the silhouettes and the sophisticated designs contribute to create dynamic compositions. The cinematographic atmosphere, the work of the deep blacks, the variations around gold and bronze, inspired by Samurai armor, invite us to plunge into a beautiful and fascinating world.
