About the Graphic Novel!

Divine Apocalypse: Distant Nirvana, is the first graphic novel in a series of 12 I plan to write as an extension of my novel Divine Apocalypse: The Beginning of the End and my visual novel Divine Apocalypse: Rise of the Nephilim and the Missing Days, both to be released in January.
When the New Year breaks a pact formed between Heaven and Hell, the earth becomes an unbiased zone, four angels born as men are awakened in down town Manhattan. Neil, Aurora, Ezekiel and Amanda create the Descended Radiance, the fist of God, to battle the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse along with other hell raising demons both real and metaphoric in this thrilling and imaginative fantasy based novel. New to a life of fantastic creatures and mystifying strangers, can the four cope when the fate of the entire world is literally on the line? If you want to find out, then you should get look out for Divine Apocalypse: The Beginning of the End, the novel.
My series focuses on Armageddon through various religious lenses, creeds and myths. To prove everything is connected, each book I focus on two different creeds and bridge them together. The novel is based on Jewish/Christian beliefs and the visual novel is influenced by the Book of Enoch and Greek myths, but all works include the same characters and general storylines. Common themes include, the dangers of secrets, overcoming personal hardships, unity of the human race and the unknown but real connection between, science, religion, and faith. The graphic novel series in particular concentrates on the themes that death is only a beginning and that there will never be a peace in the human race and are the cause of our own undoing.
I chose to centralize these themes because the graphic novel is inspired by Egyptian and Aztec/Mayan influences. Hieroglyphics were basically the first graphic novels so I thought it was only right to pay homage. In my novel Divine Apocalypse: The Beginning of the End, a character, Aurora, has a vision of the end of the world. She and three other angels discover their powers and based on Aurora’s vision, embark on an earth saving adventure. The first few chapters are available.

The graphic novel takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, year 2012, an alternate reality, if the angels fail at their mission. There will be 12 books and based on Ra’s 12 hour journey through the Underworld.
Manhattan is now a ransacked city, broken down and covered in ash. Soot rains down from the sky as it is covered in a thick constant smoke, concealing the works of hell from the eyes of heaven. The city is a demon free killing spree containing commonly Tzitzimime which are apocalyptic Aztec star demons, and riddling Sphinxes, which are evil winged women demons who wear long and elegant lion coats and claws.
The series begins with Aurora alive and trapped in a smoking pyramid, regretting that she ignored her visions 5 years ago and could have prevented all of this. The story quickly changes gears to Rhion Galloway an ex FBI agent shooting and killing a Tzitzimime. He is partnered with his lighthearted ditzy and super powered friend, Amanda and a comic worshiping nerd Cody.
Traveling in the tour van Mandjet, thats disguised in magical amulets, the three come across an old church that seemed to be untouched by the surrounding apocalypse. Breaking inside they notice a grave that is surrounded by the only live plants they’ve seen in months. Searching through this church they discover information about Amanda, identifying her as a Sacred Angel and member of the Descended Radiance, the order that Aurora’s vision was supposed to help form. The ended world now has five great wonders influenced by the Aztec/Mayan Suns. These five wonders are huge pyramids ran by evil Egyptian Gods/demons. Of the few humans left on the earth, none are free as they are enslaved, tortured, bred and trafficked into these pyramids. Cody then urges the group to embark on finding the other angels, forming the order, and saving what’s left of the world.
