THE REVIVAL
Enter a world that hearkens back to a time when toy shelves ruled our lives, cereal tasted better with a prize inside, and Saturday mornings were king. The faces might look familiar, but the story isn’t: in a
post-Apocalyptic wasteland, a small group of war survivors struggles to stay alive under the iron fist of a tyrannical madman. Obsessed with an ancient artifact he believes will awaken a long-dormant evil, the small, blue pygmy known as Ego tightens his grip on a dying world. His industrial empire, The Engine, slowly chokes what life if left from the dusty landscape, causing all to live in fear and hide in the shadows. But the survivors won’t give up so easily. Led by a stalwart woman known only as “Red”, a survivor from the fall of the Kingdom of man, she leads a rag-tag group of soldiers of circumstance. A bear who just doesn’t care anymore, a short, stout potato man, a deer-like satyr, and a free-spirited girl obsessed with bright colors and explosions, will seek out the aid of a once-powerful magician and rise out of the ashes of their world to become The Revival. It’s going to be one berry rough day.

Who is Neal Adams? Neal Adams is a towering figure in the world of comic book creation and art. Neal has had legendary runs on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from the campy nostalgia of the television show, and re-fitted him in his present incarnation as an Avenger of the Night. When people say “modern Batman” they mean Neal Adams’ Batman. His run on Batman led directly to the new, more realistic incarnation in the Batman Returns movie, which featured the character he created, Ra’s Al Ghul.
