Blood and Bones

If Predator has taught us anything it's that taking a group of commandos into the jungle on a mission can never end well. Blood and Bones is no exception to this ironclad rule.

Written by Christian Beranek and illustrated by Andrew Mangum and MaxFlan Araujo, Blood and Bones takes Jason and his merry band of commandos into the jungle to retrieve a rogue operative. This will not end well; actually, it ends in blood and bones.

"Jason, the leader of the group, must make tough decisions to survive and take down his former protege," explains Beranek. "The price he will pay, however, will test the very core of his humanity."

The independent project is seeking funds through Kickstarter to get the book into your hands.
