Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own.
Not again.
There is something different about this world, something familiar. Something that feels like . . . home. But this place of red mist and darkness belongs to another crusader, this one in a dark red trench coat, a blood-red cloak, and a fedora casting shadows on a face with goggles and a strange mask.
With no clue where this red mist brought him, Axiom-man and this crimson stranger are swept into a bizarre hotel where each floor brings a deadly new mission, and to make matters worse, Axiom-man doesn’t have his powers.
Trial upon trial ensues as Axiom-man and a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak try to survive deadly traps in a building from hell.
Scarlet Synergy Paperback Heading into Distribution
It’s official: The paperback of AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY has been approved at the printers, which also means it’s been approved for distribution.
The release date is set for April 5, 2024. My hope is all will be online tomorrow and we can launch. The book is already appearing in places like Kindle and Nook for pre-order. Soon, the paperback will join them.
For those of you who like to order direct from me, I’m not 100% sure as yet when I’ll be getting copies in. Need to look at some logistics first and time my order for both quantity and savings.
In the meantime, why not catch up on THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in paperback or eBook by going here.
With AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY coming out very soon, I thought it’d be a good idea to (re)share a two superhero essays on this site in preparation for the Cobalt Crusader to return.
These essays were written a while back but still ring true today in terms of writing superhero fiction.
First, get ready for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY by checking out THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in its entirety (or at least the first book).
