Bayani and The Nine Daughters of The Moon comes to Caliber Comics with
free downloadable first issue.

July 28, 2015. Caliber Comics is proud to announce the upcoming release of
a brand new creator-owned all-ages comic book series, Bayani and The Nine
Daughters of The Moon, with the first volume scheduled in September of
2015. The first issue is free to download at Caliber Comics
www.calibercomics.info/bayani.html

A thirty-day Kickstarter campaign was launched July 16th by creator Travis
McIntire to raise funds for the production of the first three individual
issues that will encompass volume 1. “The goal of the Kickstarter campaign
is simply to secure about half of the funds necessary to produce the first
three issues. After that, Caliber will be releasing the collected volumes
through all the normal distribution channels and hopefully it does well
enough that we’ll be off to the races!” says McIntire. “People will like
this comic I think. It’s different. Different stories, different
monsters than we’re used to. Different kind of characters carrying the
story. I’m excited to get it in their hands.”

Bayani and The Nine Daughters of The Moon is an 11-issue story carefully
and meticulously crafted by writer Travis McIntire. Thematically, McIntire
describes it as an old fashioned monster-hunter tale, only in this story,
the kids are up against the scariest creatures lurking in the folklore of
the aboriginal people of the Philippines.

The story follows Bayani, a boy of 11, who is desperately trying to care
for his sick father (a fisherman) and keep food on the table for his small
family. Unfortunately, the sun has been shining down on the islands for
the last month and night refuses to fall. The land is growing parched from
the constant heat and the fish are moving further and further away from
shore. During this disaster the rain god, Pati', recruits Bayani to
undertake a quest that will require rescuing the nine daughters of Lady
Moon from the horrible monsters of lore. Bayani embarks on a great
adventure with his friend, Tala, and using their wits, the kids defeat one
hideous creature after another in their quest to rescue each of the Moon's
daughters.

The comic series is penciled, inked and colored by Grant Perkins (Image,
Dreamworks, 2000AD), lettered by Taylor Esposito (DC). Graphic design work
for the series is being handled by Rich Bloom, known for his work on
C.O.W.L. (Image). “Every time I read a new script, it’s like watching an
episode of my favorite cartoon in my head” says Perkins. “It feels a bit
like a Pixar film as directed by Spielberg!”
