Origin Stories - Complete Collection

SPLASH PAGE: “ORIGIN STORIES – COMPLETE COLLECTION!”

Neon gutters run cold in Neo-Boston, but the fire starts in the mountains. Strangers with nothing but grit and a tip from Uncle Frankie chase a dragon’s lair and a paycheck. Eight issues of smoke, secrets, and survival weld the Silicon Dragons into a team. Every bullet ricochets. Every choice scars the page. This is the comic that births a legend!

ISSUE #1 Dragon Hunt

Forest fire panels crackle across the spread!

Uncle Frankie’s whisper sends the crew into the pines. A lone girl with old eyes leads them past flames to a hidden tunnel. BLAM! Red-armband soldiers open fire. Inside: steaming hot springs, glowing eggs, and a wide-eyed hatchling. The girl breathes fire. CLIFFHANGER: The mountain rumbles.

ISSUE #2 Waking a Mountain

Volcanic panels explode in crimson fury!

Eruption! Caverns collapse. Grey Knight zealots stand over a slain red dragon, its death the trigger. Black-clad mercenaries swarm. RAT-TAT-TAT! Gun-smoke chokes the chamber. The crew claws up a crumbling rockslide as Cedar Ridge vanishes in lava below. TOWN GONE. ASHES FALL.

ISSUE #3 How do you like your eggs?

Neon gutters flicker outside Salty’s Saloon.

Back in the city, the hatchling, now Rosabelle, needs smuggling. Illusion spells glitch like faulty holograms. Crowds stare. Inside the bar: frantic nest-building from scavenged junk. Final panel, warehouse meet with twitchy client Johnson. Disguises hold by a thread. PAYDAY SECURED.

ISSUE #7 When the Bank Robs You

Salty’s back room panels drip with secrets!

A blood sample from the early chaos reveals Artemis Foxx’s kitsune lineage. Family ghosts haunt the saloon. WHAM! Sibling ambush crashes through the roof. Illusion duels light the zones. Principles clash in heated roleplay. REVEAL: “WHERE’S MY SISTER?” screams across the page.

ISSUE #8 All in the Family

Neon alleys pulse with pursuit!

Crew dives into personal mysteries at Salty’s core. Blood ties pull Artemis deeper. BAM! Ambush waves hit the streets. Overcome investigations unearth hidden agendas. Good Karma flips for principle compels. TWIST: Refuse the call and Bad Karma rerolls the dice. Family forged or fractured.
