Monarch #1
My new tale of horror and high-stakes science fiction comic, Monarch, hits shelves next week on Wednesday, February 8th!
Growing up in the city of Compton is tough enough as it is, but as Travon has learned all too well growing up as an orphan in the city of Compton with gang members hunting you down every day is even tougher. But all of that is about to change because today is the day that aliens make first contact with Earth-and it only spells doom for life as we know it!
Death, devastation, and mayhem! Can a single teenage boy rise to the challenge and protect his surrogate family and friends...or will he die trying?

Check out a sneak peek of Monarch #1 below.
Inspired by the likes of Attack the Block and War of the Worlds, Monarch follows a young teen named Trayvon living in Compton, who wakes up one morning to find the world forever changed when humanity has its first contact with an alien civilization. But when things go a little more Independence Day than they do Star Trek, Trayvon finds himself thrust into the unlikely role of protector and survivor as human kind is assaulted by an overwhelming alien force.
Early reviews are in!
“Monarch #1 is an impressive debut that builds a living, dangerous world with complex characters that already carry a considerable amount of personal history with them. It’s impossible not to root for Travon and you will keep turning the pages with a certain reluctance for fear of what might happen to him throughout. But turn them you shall, and you won’t want to stop. Monarch is just that good.” Read the full review here.
“Monarch #1 is a brilliant start to this new sci-fi thriller series. Rodney Barnes takes his socio-political approach to genre horror and applies it to this alien invasion piece to stellar effect, offering a painful human story at the center of this piece. The visual work from Alex Lins, Jason Shawn Alexander, Luis Nct, and Mar Silvestre Galotto is brilliantly animated and sharply directed, offering perfect atmosphere and pacing to pull readers into this apocalyptic scenario.” Read the full review here.
There is more Monarch where that came from!
