Kickstarter Conversation: Trevor Fernandes-Lenkiewicz on RISE

Joe Talks Comics

This week, Joe talks with Trevor Fernandes-Lenkiewicz, creator of Pocket Watch Press and writer of RISE, a new indie superhero comic that asks "what if you had to feel good to do good".

I got to read the first issue of RISE and I enjoyed it, I would recommend checking out the campaign if you're interested!

RISE #1-2 is now live on Kickstarter at ⁠kickstarter.com/projects/thehelix/rise2⁠. Please go support it if you can, as projects like this won't happen without your support. It's vital to their success. Here is more of a synopsis for the comic:

"RISE follows Jonathan A. Prufrock as he delves into what it really means to be a good man while attempting to be super. This 40 page premium print comic explores one male's ego through the elevated life of a superhero and attempts to navigate the pressures of what it really means to be a good man.

How has masculinity become defined by performance? What does that mean for a man who's responsible for the lives of billions? In an industry saturated with superheroes, what makes this one RISE above the rest?

This story is about the man underneath the cape. RISE sets out to confront one man's relationship with his own masculinity, questioning his responsibility to the world around him and the role that he plays within it."
