"Celestial Corps" Latest comic book I am working on

"Celestial Corps" 

Created & Written: Kelly Bender (mankindx3@gmail.com)


"Celestial Corps" is a contracted security force.  Planets all over the universe can become members by paying the annual fee. Once members the "Celestial Corps" can provide rescue missions, provide security when travelling through uncharted quadrants, and assist during war times.

This story is about a "Celestial Corps" squad which responds to a distress call from a damaged spacecraft.

The spacecraft makes an emergency landing on an unknown planet, the closest "Celestial Corps" squad is dispatched to assist in the rescue of all surviving occupants.

On the unknown planet the squad must battle the elements, the dangerous creatures which inhabit the planet, and the biggest threat of all just might be the ones they where hired to rescue in the first place.

I am currently finding creative team members to put this book together for a pitch to publishers.
