This it the protagonist from my upcoming comic book series Juda Fist:7 Deaths of the Yobi.SynopsisTransformed into a highly adaptable alien bio weapon decades earlier, Amaru Jones awakens to a dystopian future controlled by a system wide unified government known as TRINITY. Trinity’s control is maintained through use of its Trinity Doctrine, a mix of public and private sector players in industry, media, intelligence and through their bleeding edge military known as GUNHAMMER. Control is not total however, as there is a growing clandestine movement both terrestrial and colonial that uses its guile and mastery of communications to inform and derail as much of the Trinity Doctrine as is possible with the massive resourced arrayed against them.This is the world of Juda Fist: Seven Deaths of the Yobi; an Afro-futuristic Odyssey which is equal parts Hong Kong cinema, Blaxplotation, dystopian Sci-Fi and horror with a healthy respect paid to hip hop culture and the narratives of Octavia Butler.Unaware of his own complicity in the world he has awoken to, Amaru works to put some semblance of a life back together. Observing the robust trade in killing that exists in this time, he gets certified as a CONTRACTOR. Part bounty hunter, part Green Beret and all crazy! These guys do the work that the cops and local military are either too scared or too smart to take on.Amaru is recruited by THE LAST ONES OUT, a team of contractors notorious for taking on and taking down anyone and anything with a bounty or a public safety hazard on its head. Just as things are looking up, Amaru gets a surprise in the form of his own trinity; 3 children who through considerable ingenuity find him and declare themselves to be his long lost relatives.Meanwhile, the board is set for ancient players to arise and manipulate events which will force Amaru to make the ultimate choice between those he loves and his own destiny. As our protagonist weighs his options, humanity’s options may be running out. . .
