COMIC BOOKS

BLACK TIDE comic book series, by Creator/Writer Debbie Bishop, combines science, history, technology, mysticism, and metaphysics into a story of adventure and discovery as Justin Braddock learns deep secrets about himself. In a distant past, Justin lived as a traitor to the great civilization of Atlantis, which continues today as a secret city under the ocean floor. When he reencounters Kaila, an ally from his past who lives in Atlantis, he is drawn into her life and the ongoing political intrigue in the sunken metropolis.  Today, Atlantis is a myth, and the Atlanteans would like to keep it that way. Living secretly among us, their elite Black Ops team tries to protect us while fighting supervillains from ancient times.

Magic, myth, science and history combine as we discover our world as it was, where history has brought us and where we go from here in this all-new super-powered ongoing series. Meet three fascinating heroes - Justin, Kaila and Theros - are the combined key to immense power. When united-they are unbeatable. When they are odds with each other, their power is devastatingly dangerous. Together, they once caused a war so intense an entire continent crumbled and sank into the sea.  Today, under the cover of a black ops organization called Deceivers, they fight many enemies. But with demons-both internal and external-still haunting them, can they be trusted to save mankind...or will their conflicts with each other destroy us all? A chance meeting has finally united Justin, Kaila and Theros-The Triune. The question is...Are they Earth's savior or future source of destruction?
