Wayward Raven Media Inks James Emmett and The Committee

Wayward Raven Media is excited to announce the addition of James B. Emmett to the flock. The talented author/illustrator signed a contract for the development of his comic book series The Committee. The story takes place in a world where the mystical and scientific merge as an ongoing battle to preserve the world unfolds through conflicts with beings of unimaginable power and malice. The clock keeps ticking down, while uniquely gifted members of The Committee race to find truth about the universe and themselves. Big magic equals big fun before a big bang destroys us all.
