Arcana Comics is Debuting Becoming at SDCC, written by acclaimed creator Brooke Burgess (BROKEN SAINTS)!

We're days away from San Diego Comic Con, and the news keeps on coming!

Brook Burgess, creator of the animated epic, Broken Saints, is releasing his debut Arcana comic at San Diego Comic Con, starting on Wednesday, July 20th, where he will appear throughout the week alongside the artist of Becoming, Dane Cypel. Please refer to the updated signing schedule below for the latest signings.

Of his decision to work with Arcana, Brooke explains, "I was approached by Sean back in 2004, after finishing the original Flash motion comic Broken Saints and producing the 4-disc DVD upgrade of the series with Telefilm Canada. I had no idea there was such a prolific independent comic publisher in Canada, and was impressed with his savvy in developing original IP and packaging concepts for TV, film, and other media."

At SDCC 2005, Brooke signed a deal with "20th Century Fox to distribute Broken Saints worldwide, which was an amazing opportunity. It was launched the following year in San Diego, and Sean was one of the first to swing by and offer congratulations and support! Arcana was growing by leaps and bounds by then, and I knew he had several feature films in development. I wanted to start writing a new story asap, but some other motion comic projects - Will Smith's I Am Legend, and Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy - owned my life for the next year+."

Since that time, Brooke has written two films, which are in development, and consulted with various transmedia campaigns. Early in 2010, he pitched BECOMING, "a psychological thriller for mature readers," to Sean. The story was "based on a short film script a friend of mine and I had concocted - an almost 'operatic' battle of wills between an aging psychology professor and a cocky graduate student - and I was really intrigued by its graphic novel potential. I've always been drawn to stories where the protagonist is on a quest for 'knowledge', and Becoming asks a crucial question: is there such a thing as 'ultimate knowledge'...and what's the price for it? The story's witty, macabre, intense, philosophical, very personal...and even a little funny, in an absurd way."

Arcana is excited to be working with the talented creator and to have him appearing at SDCC.
