2021 Mad Cave Studios Talent Search winner, Damien Becton, will be launching his sci-fi/fanta
epic comic THE FEW OF FARBETWEEN on Kickstarter, August 20th. Set on the fantastical world
of Farbetween that’s been invaded by a tyrannical AI robot horde where we meet diverse animal
characters of the Animalia Nation, magic-users of the Golden Queendom, and tech-based people
of the Mech State, there truly isn’t a book as unique as THE FEW OF FARBETWEEN on stands.
This is a book for comic fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Final Fantasy established with
action and adventure but grounded by characters learning to trust and rebuilding friendships.
So, what does happen when a robotic AI crash lands on a fantastical world full of magical
creatures and beings? In THE FEW OF FARBETWEEN, Jeyada, a young black magic-wielding
sorceress, reluctantly allies with a friendly, inferior version of the AI robot to prevent complete
takeover! When these characters learn of a plot to sabotage the neighboring Queendom that
keeps them safe, fates get crossed, friendships are built, trust gets tested, and, of course, lots of
fun sci-fi fantasy action!
“This comic is Avatar: The Last Airbender meets The Mitchell’s vs. The Machines. It’s my love
letter to all the Avatar, to Final Fantasy 7 and 9,” Damien states. “It’s an epic story on an epic
scale all wrapped around distrustful characters learning to potentially let down their guard and
trust someone for once.”
When the distrustful,14-year old sorceress, Jeyada discovers Blueprint, a friendly, older version
of the robotic AI that attempted to take over Farbetween, she’s reminded of why she’s so
distrustful in the first place. She remembers the pain and destruction caused by Blueprint’s
successor, including the loss of loved ones and even one of her limbs when she was a child. As
the two team up to unravel a mystery and prevent more damage, Jeyada begins to struggle with
building up walls between her and her allies and saving everyone and potentially building a
friendship with the being that she believes caused her so much grief.
The creator-owned, fantasy epic comic, THE FEW OF FARBETWEEN, is written by
Damien Becton and art by Rosario Mendez. Support the Kickstarter campaign signing up
