Comic Book Write Up

Comic Book Write-Up
Our story starts with three characters: Judah, Gethsemane, and Shalem. They all have different problems and issues that need to be resolved in their lives. Judah is outwardly strong, but inwardly he is quite weak. Gethsemane is very shy and only wants to conform to the world, and Shalem is insecure and helps everyone around him in an attempt to feel better about himself. They never really meet as in the beginning of our comic they end up crashing into each other in a car collision. One by one the characters wake up in a new place that is mysterious, abnormal, and seems impossible. We follow each one in their journey through these places and what they get out of it.. Gethsemane awakens to find several women surrounding her. She doesn't have a clue where she is and as she looks down her belly has a bulge. When she stands up she feels like fainting. When she asks why she finds out that she is pregnant and 9 months at that. In this world, almost everyone is pregnant because a baby is born three days after its conception, and all female babies are kept, and only one male baby within a generation is kept. The males are all killed and eaten except for the one chosen to be the next alpha male. Gethsemane finds herself in this world and is a spectacle because she is pregnant already. They find out that she is pregnant with a boy, and she knows he is going to be killed, so she must escape before it happens, but they find her very special and decide that her son will be the alpha male of the generation. They try to force her to stay and she is treated as a queen. Due to Gethsemane's background she is not used to dealing with being the centre of attention. Here she will confront her fears and find what her life had been missing. Judah finds himself in a world where everyone is physically weak, and strength is scoffed at. He, being a strong military man, is somewhat shunned. He cannot get the attention of ladies like he is used to and he has no friends. All he wants to do is fit in. He slowly starts to get into their culture and over time transforms into someone who does not care about physical appearance. He finds his true inner being and feels fulfilled for once in his life. He no longer has to put on a tough guy face and he finally finds love instead of some "hot chick." A women sees him for who he really is and he is forced to face his fears and let down his guard. To be continued..
