THE COMIC

Humanity. Dragons. Decimation - The Lord of the Dragons Story

If you were to find that your time on this earth was nearing its end and death was staring you down with its stony gaze, would you be able to change our behaviours to avoid your demise? Would you want to?

Or would you make the most of whatever time you had left amongst the rubble of once great cities, to love, laugh and absorb all the planet has left to offer, taking its final resources and forcing our species one step closer to its inevitable conclusion? The latter was the choice made by those in power at the end of the 21st century. They chose to lead us to continue to fight a war amongst ourselves, earths last remaining resources declining more with each day that passed, until, there was almost nothing left.

So obsessed by our own fight for survival, little did we know we were being watched for decades. The dragons scrutinised us as we decimated the world, with pollution, war, greed and unsustainable, unrelenting consumerism and consumption. The dragons remained in the shadows, building huge underground cities as their numbers grew and ours dwindled, waiting for the time where they would no longer let our decisions impact the planet. Little did we know, they were not the biggest threat to our survival. We had already created an Artificial Intelligence so powerful it would have ultimately killed us, had the dragons not intervened. There is an irony that they actually saved us from ourselves.

But before AI reached its peak, when humanity was at its weakest after war, poverty and decimation, the humans began to report sightings of the dragons. At first they were put down to hallucinations, unclear footage and strange but often explainable events. People were mocked for believing such things even when they were plastered across the social media platforms, because unfortunately AI had made imitation of anything by this point almost indistinguishable from the real thing. We did not see what was right in front of our eyes until too many people just started to disappear. As the dragons cut off our last remaining communications, they plunged us into silence. That was when they came for what was left of our species.

Those that were left fought back, but our guns and weapons did little to them. As the tables turned, those that remained free were now left to hide in the shadows, fearful of what would happen to them if they were caught. Now the dragons ruled the world, they built huge marble cities above ground as they relentlessly hunted and imprisoned what was left of humanity.

The world is a very different place to that which it once was. Our world was now theirs.

The Lord of the Dragons comic book Volume 1 begins roughly 50 years after the above. And it's been one hell of a 50 years!
