E.P.I.C (Earth’s Protector In Crisis) Issue #4 begins with the appearance of a new character in EPIC’s world. A high-tech vigilante named Lotto, whose mission is to stop all Alphas because from his view, they are threats to society. Lotto doesn’t have any love for EPIC as he hunts for him throughout the city.
Meanwhile, EPIC’s chief nemesis, Boris Zane of Zanetech, is also hunting Alphas for his own purposes. The specifics of his plan will unfold in future issues and it will be very interesting to see he and EPIC battle each other.
Meanwhile, Chris aka EPIC is struggling with his new powers and is being trained by the previous wielder of the Alpha Bands. The Alpha Bands activate when evil Alphas are in the area and the next threat that appears is a large dragon! Chris transforms into EPIC and…..

There’s A Price To Pay
Someone is in debt.
People are owed for
forced services
rendered.
There’s no receipt to
be given,
no complete barter
existed,
labor was taken for
granted
as well as rights to live
freely.
For every hour the debt
goes unsettled
-interest rises.
Chances for a payment
plan are slim.
The full amount is due now!
For the mass physical,
psychological, historical
rapes,murders,lies
& other crimes intertwined
with slavery
& its after affects;
For every one of those
ways of disrespect
& those continuing
results as of now
…….…..…there will be a day.
For there’s a price to pay.

Tattooed Tears – A Short Indie Film
There is just something about Indie Films that make them a joy to watch? Is it the Fearless Storytelling? Compelling Characters? Unique Locations? Perspectives not realized on the big screen? I’d say it is all of those ideas and more. Now when the Indie Film is a Short Film; it is very interesting to see how the visuals, acting and story mesh in span of a few minutes. Tattooed Tears is one of those films that successfully tells a compelling story. It is an Arion Digital Media Group film. Directed by Aaron Lewis, Written by Alverne Ball. Produced by Alverne Ball, Gregory Ball & Aaron Lewis. Check it out below and let us know your thoughts. Enjoy!
Tattooed Tears : A tattoo artist and client share a tale of woe that leaves their lives forever changed between the shedding of tattooed tears.
