Local writer Jeffrey Marvin is raising funds on Kickstarter, a micro-financing site used by many upcoming artists to fund their projects. Writers Ben Soreff & Jeff Marvin together with artist Jeffery Zacholl have turned to Kickstarter to make the 40-page full color first volume of a four part series. When the project is successfully funded they hope to have the first comic by January 2014. Grave Soldiers was originally a screenplay, but we felt that we would have more control of the project as a comic book mini-series. That and Brad Pitt stopped returning our phone calls.
Grave Soldiers tells the story about a not-too-distant future, paranoia and fear force those who walk the halls of power to turn the American military machine loose around the globe. There are those who yell fascism and others who cry justice. But a few in uniform see an army stretched thin and young soldiers lost too soon. When a secret plan is hatched to train raw recruits to deal with the savagery of war, a new kind of horror is unleashed. On the other side of the country, another battle is beginning on the campus of a small Liberal Arts college. A protest of legendary proportions will be waged—one that would shake the very foundations of society itself—and it begins with an epic road trip. These two forces clash on an isolated island and when they do, the unthinkable happens. You get un-dead warriors. You get a bloody mess. You get…Grave Soldiers.
