In Maps & Legends
In An Exclusive Android Edition
In Maps & Legends won the Zuda Comics competition in November 2009, but its online serialization was interrupted with the close of the Zuda website. Now creators Michael Jasper and Niki Smith have teamed with Robot Comics to release an exclusive Android edition. In Maps & Legends is available now both as a free 8-page preview and $0.99 full-length Issue #1
Synopsis
Kaitlin Grayson considers herself just an artist until she gets recruited by a strange man named Bartamus, who shows up at her place in the middle of the night and demands she use her skills to save his dying world. Soon Kait gets caught between two realities, and if Bartamus’ world falls, Earth is next — along with untold others. In Maps & Legends is a world-shattering fantasy with hints of sci-fi and steampunk, written by novelist Michael Jasper and illustrated by Niki Smith.
