Description

International student Andrew Marcus’ world is torn asunder when interstellar forces, the Kibrani, invade the earth. With all hope seemingly lost, humanity’s last chance may be a long-despised and forgotten race: the Jinn (otherwise known as “Genies”). Jinnrise is an epic story combining the best of “summer blockbuster” fare with the weightier underpinnings of “quest myths” like Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

Jinnrise quote from film critic and founder of ReelViews (www.reelviews.net) James Berardinelli:

"With visuals that would put the average Hollywood blockbuster to shameand a storyline that gleefully criss-crosses genres and throws 'the book' out the window, 'Jinnrise' is one of the most inventive comicscurrently available."

According to Roger Ebert, James is the best online film critic in America.

Jinnrise quote from World Fantasy Award-winning and Nebula and Locus Award-nominated author of Who Fears Death, Nnedi Okorafor:

Jinnrise is precisely the type of comic I crave. Set in the Middle East, the story doesn’t take us there by airplane. It brings us into this part of the world through the point of view of dynamic believable central characters (most are locals, one is a foreigner). And then all heck breaks loose! Aliens and genies battling it out with humans caught in the crossfire, it’s awesome. And the art is vibrant, captivating and full of noise; it practically jumps off the page. I’m so in.
