a full color, widescreen-formatted, graphic novel
Volume 1 : broken
Some believe in the syrupy-sweet
Nothings of love...
...this is not that world.
Meet the godling of love, Valentino, formerly known as Cupid.
Once immortal and powerful, now reduced down to base level survival.
Long ago, Cupid fell in love with the beautiful Psyche.
They were happy for centuries, until she cheated on him and broke Love’s heart.
Now Valentino roams the planet, intoxicating victims with his essence, in order to feed on their
pheromones...just to survive. Dark, twisted, and cold...this is not the Cupid of lore.
Trading in his legendary bow for twin desert eagles, the godling of love has lost his way.
Unbeknownst to him...the god of hate, Odium, has been gathering his power.
Taking the form of a United Nations diplomat, he fuels the fires of hatred around the world...
gorging himself on the rewards.
With an absent god of love,
Hate is growing...
But salvation may come just in time, in the form of
the deity of Balance...
Karma.
characters.
VALENTINO©
He is immortal, the godling of Love, aka "Cupid". But his body needs the “essence of love” to survive. He needs a combination of body heat, physical contact, and the phermones humans give off when in love or lust. Without these, he would die.
KARMA©
Light hearted and good humored, she has come to accept the good and the bad in life, and knows everything can’t always be rosey. Karma has developed a smart ass, good natured, sense of humor to it all.
ODIUM©
Once Odium was a scrawny little punk, begging for table scraps from his parents. But not anymore. For centuries he’s been coercing and manipulating humans, nuturing their hate and rages to a boiling point...all the while making himself stronger.
ZUES©
PSYCHE'©
Zues represents electricity itself. Long ago, he was the Lightning Bolt Thrower, nowadays he is the power that runs our cities. He owns 3/4 of the world’s power companies. He is eternal and adopts with ease.
ARES©
The goddess of Intellectuals, the essence of the cerebral. She is cold, hard, calculating, intense, and a beast in the bedroom. Cupid was an enigma to her...a challenge. He was a toy for her to disect and study, then like a bored child, she threw him away.
The god of War has tamed in his old age. Taking Zues up on an offer to provide security for the Elder God, Ares is enjoying the plush life...the best mortals have to offer in women, cars, drugs, and orgies. But he still itches to strap on the old armor, and slay a few million...
